Exterior Color Schemes for Your Home

Our color palette generator creates harmonious color combinations based on color theory. Pick any base color and instantly see complementary, analogous, triadic, split complementary, and monochromatic schemes suited for home exteriors.

Understanding Color Schemes

Complementary schemes use colors opposite on the color wheel for maximum contrast. Great for a bold front door against your main siding color. Analogous schemes use neighboring colors for a cohesive, calming effect. Triadic schemes balance three equally spaced colors for a vibrant but balanced exterior.

Tips for Exterior Color Palettes

  • Use your body color as the base and generate palettes for trim and accents
  • Monochromatic schemes work well for traditional and colonial homes
  • Complementary accents (like a front door) add visual interest
  • Test your palette with our AI Paint Visualizer before painting

What colors go well together on a house exterior?

Classic combinations include white trim with navy or charcoal siding, gray siding with white trim and a bold-colored front door, or earth tones like taupe with cream trim. Use our palette generator to explore options.
