No matter what you want the exterior of your house to say, you can express it with blue paint colors.

There\u2019s a\u00a0hue for every mood, whether you want to evoke a dreamy and relaxing feeling, or something more cheery and bright. A true light blue, like Sherwin-Williams\u00a0Porch Ceiling (SW9063)<\/a>\u00a0may be exactly what you think of when you hear \u201clight blue home exterior.\u201d<\/p>\n In some cases, homeowners opt for light shades of blue for the exterior of their homes. These lighter shades can sometimes even be considered neutrals with their ability to match almost anything \u2013 think barely blues like Benjamin Moore\u2019s\u00a0Lily White (2128-70)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another popular example of a neutral light blue shade includes a blue-gray. Blue-grays are becoming very popular for those who find true blue a little too bright for their style. Whether your style is more of a light shade like\u00a0Iced Slate (2130-60)<\/a>, or darker like\u00a0Oxford Gray (2128-40)<\/a>, a blue-gray exterior house paint could be the perfect neutral blue for your home.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like your home to stand out among others, add some color to your neighborhood with a bright blue or medium blue. These saturated colors often have a way of evoking excitement and cheery thoughts with just one glance.<\/p>\n A true blue, such as\u00a0Sherwin-Williams\u2019\u00a0Blue Chip (SW6949)<\/a>, is radiant and bright, sure to set you apart on the block.\u00a0Frank Blue (SW6967)<\/a>\u00a0is also a stunning option for a brilliant blue, slightly toned down.<\/p>\n Another option for choosing a vivid, luminous shade of blue is one in the blue-green family, like Sherwin-Williams\u2019\u00a0Great Falls (SW6495)<\/a>. If a light, airy shade is more your style, the color\u00a0Ebbtide (SW 6493)<\/a>\u00a0is a rich but subtle blue-green hue.<\/p>\n When considering a bright blue paint color for the exterior of your home, pay attention to the way the natural light hits your house at different times of the day, and at night.\u00a0This has a major impact on the way the color will look on your home.\u00a0For example, you may like the way a color looks in bright lighting, but it could look drastically different in the dark.<\/p>\n There are many people who love dark blue and navy blue, but shy away from painting the inside of their home this dark, as it could make rooms appear smaller than they actually are. However, a dark color doesn\u2019t have the same effect on a home\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n A dark blue exterior home color scheme is classic and appealing, giving off an air of confidence and tradition. The navy shade\u00a0Honorable Blue (SW6811)<\/a>\u00a0by Sherwin-Williams is a rich, dark blue color that would look impressive against any home\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By now, you\u2019ve probably narrowed your exterior paint color down to just a couple options that will work for your home. Now it\u2019s time to start thinking about how the current accents of your home could work with your color choice.<\/p>\n Houses with blue exterior paint typically complement various materials and colors. Brown colored stone looks beautiful up against a shade of blue and provides a nice contrast, while blue paint color can also bring out the blue tones within gray colored stone. Dark shingles or dark siding also correlate nicely with blue tones.<\/p>\n Homeowners have been leaving many wood tones exposed on the exterior of their home, especially with the ever-popular rustic trend. Whether it\u2019s natural, gray, light, or dark \u2013 wood is a beautiful complement against blue paint color.<\/p>\n A blue home exterior can be perfectly anchored by bright, white trims. The crisp white shade allows the blue color to come to life and look pronounced and defined against the white. A white trim serves as a stark contrast to create those coveted clean lines. Best of all \u2013 this timeless design applies to any shade of blue paint.<\/p>\n Alternatively, if you\u2019ve selected a barely-blue, a light blue, or a blue-gray, run with the blue exterior color scheme and add navy blue trim around your doors and windows.<\/p>\n Lots of greenery will pop against the blue exterior paint. Whether you\u2019ve selected a light blue, bright blue or dark blue\u2013green will contrast with any one of them. Consider simple plants such as shrubbery lining the front of the house, vines spilling across the front porch, or any type of leafy trees or plants.<\/p>\n You know what they say about details \u2013 it\u2019s the little things that matter the most. If it\u2019s your goal to revamp your exterior, consider the different features that will look great against your blue home design. Window frames, door handles, and railings made of metals such as dark iron or gold look striking against any blue hue.<\/p>\n Your home\u2019s exterior is the first thing you see when you arrive home at the end of a long day. It\u2019s the first thing your guests see as they arrive to spend time with you and your family. It\u2019s also what your neighbors and passers-by see.
