First, use your home's style to find colors that traditionally work with your type of home. Use your home's field color to research trim color that is typically painted with that color. Also take into consideration your home's other surfaces like shingles and stonework.


Next, you have to decide if you want your trim paint to blend or contrast. If you want to blend, you can go monochromatic and pick a color either up or down on the paint swatch of your field color. To contrast, consider going white, a classic choice, or a warm, earthy gray, or even black. For most houses, trim is lighter than the siding, making white and creams, the most popular choices. Taupe, olive, or moss can add a pleasant contrast and offer a soft pop of color.

With these tips, you will be sure to find the perfect exterior trim color.
