SUBTLE AND CALM If your home’s exterior has a lot of design elements, closely related colors will unify and simplify its appearance. A monochromatic approach – based on different shades of the same color – will have a similar effect. The color palette can be either cool (sterling gray walls, oxford blue gables, pacific blue trim) or warm (buckskin walls with savannah wicker trim); the idea is to limit contrast for a relaxed vibe. Mixing cool and warm colors with similar intensity also works well.

Light siding with white trim is a subtle use of color. This home features Carolina Beaded siding in desert tan with Restoration Millwork trim in natural white and Vinyl Carpentry trim in colonial white for an understated feeling.
