The Best Berkeley Colors for Your Home

Posted on November 24, 2021

There is a lot that goes into choosing the exterior paint colors of your home. Not only do you have to consider any neighborhood or HOA restrictions, you also have to think about what colors will add to the value of your home. After all, curb appeal is arguably the most important element to selling your house.

Our experts are here to help make your decision about what exterior paint colors work best for your home. They compiled a list of the three most common wants and needs for exterior colors: highlighting gardens, modern style, and an eye-popping look.

Neutral Tones

Our second choice for welcoming home colors is any neutral tone. This includes shades of grey and brown. These earthy hues give visitors a feeling of comfort and ease as they enter a space. We have especially seen a jump in the popularity of dark grey. These colors are especially good as base coats, such as the entire exterior of your home or walls of rooms.

Hues of Blue

Last but not least, the painting colors trending for 2021 are nearly all of the shades of blue. From slate blue to navy blue and everything in between, blue is in. A soft blue exterior with stark white trim is one of our favorite trends that we see lasting for years to come. If you are looking to sell your house in the next ten years, this color scheme can improve the value of your home as easily as 1-2-3. Some of our favorite shades include Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore and Misty by Sherwin Williams.

Modern Black

On the other end of the spectrum, we are seeing a rise in homes painted black. This is especially popular for homes that have wood accents or trim. The sleek color brings a sense of a modern lifestyle. It is also fairly good at hiding damage or problems that are already in your home. We always recommend fixing any problems to your home structure before taking on a paint job. Failure to do so will result in your new paint deteriorating at a quicker rate.
