Posted on October 29, 2019

Jump on the trend that’s showing up in Chicago neighborhoods with CertaPro Painters of the North Shore, IL. Dark exteriors are a refreshing change in the market says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “We’re now starting to see ‘new neutrals’ emerge,” according to Wadden.

“It’s becoming more and more popular to use bold, deeper color choices on exterior siding. Keeping the trim bright and light creates a nice, crisp contrast with the darker siding, which can really make the house stand out. Adding fun and unique color to the front door can add to the contrast and brighten things up as well, which brings the whole exterior together. This is going to be a huge trend for 2020,” says Katie Andrews, Residential Sales Associate at CertaPro Painters of the North Shore, IL.
