TRIM COLORS FOR WHITE HOUSES
White House with White Trim
Any siding color gets a boost from the brightness of white trim—including white siding. White siding with white trim unifies a home’s various accents, giving even traditional and vintage homes a modern feel.
White House with Tan Trim
White is a neutral color — it’s neither warm nor cool. A white house paired with tan exterior trim, however, has an instant and cozy warmth.
TRIM COLORS FOR BLUE HOUSES

A blue house with white trim is an American classic. Whether your blue siding is as dark as evening or light as mist, you cannot go wrong with white trim to match.
Blue House with Gray Trim
Blue house siding with gray trim gives familiar home styles (Colonials or Cape Cods, for example) an updated twist.
TRIM COLORS FOR GRAY HOUSES

TRIM COLORS FOR TAN & BEIGE HOUSES

Beige and tan are both brown tones, which are made by mixing white into brown. As a pair, tan house siding and beige exterior trim give a home an earthy vibe.

On old-fashioned home styles like Craftsman or Bungalow, beige siding with beige trim has a surprisingly contemporary impact. The beige-on-beige exterior color palette softens accents so that they blend in, rather than stand out.
TRIM COLORS FOR GREEN HOUSES

TRIM COLORS FOR RED HOUSES
