Exterior Paint Color Ideas for your Iowa Home

Posted on July 4, 2023

Our team loves seeing exterior paint trends change from year to year. Iowa homeowners love warm earth tones like beige, tan or light gray. Additionally, shades of green, such as olive or sage can complement the natural surroundings. We put together some of the top exterior paint colors we are seeing used in 2023. You can use this for inspiration but ultimately, choose colors that harmonize with your neighborhood and personal style!

Earthy Neutrals – Last year, we saw earth tones rise in popularity and it looks like they are here to stay. Earth tones are a great option if you are looking for a backdrop to compliment landscaping or architectural details.

Dark Green – Continuing with the nature inspired shades, dark green is another great option when making your home appear cohesive with the flowers, trees, and grass surrounding it. We are also seeing it used on fences as a way to compliment gardens.

Warm Whites and Creams – Always a popular choice amongst home owners, and for a good reason. Say goodbye to stark, bright whites in 2023, warmer shades are quickly taking over and we think this trend is here to stay.

Dark Blue – This is a classic that never seems to go out of style. We personally love this option if you don’t have much landscaping around your home and are looking for a way to make your home stand out.

Light Green – If you like the idea of a white home but are looking for something different, light green shades are a great option. They appear very neutral when the sun is hitting them and flatter the greenery around your home.

Black/Deep Gray – We saw this bold paint color choice gain traction in the past couple of years and it is not slowing down any time soon. From black accents, to all black exteriors, homeowners are loving this trend. You might think this paint shade only works on modern homes, but we are seeing it used more and more on traditional style homes as well.
