How to Choose the Perfect Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint Colors

There are many color options out there and it can be hard to decide which one will be right for your home’s exterior. When choosing an exterior paint color for your home, think about the other colors in your neighborhood. What colors are on the other houses? What colors do you see in nature on your block? You’ll want to choose something that complements the other homes in your neighborhood and the natural landscape around you.

Don’t forget to think about accent colors for things like shutters and doors. You’ll want to create a whole color scheme that blends well and isn’t overwhelming. Depending on the style of your house, a maximum of 3-5 colors usually works well. Start by choosing the main color in a shade that will look amazing and enhance your home’s curb appeal. Next, choose complementing colors that bring out the unique features of your home and match your personal style.

Gray Benjamin Moore Exterior Paint Colors

Gray has been a popular color for a few years now. Gray can be either warm or cool depending on the shade you pick and what undertones it has. All grays have undertones that can make the color look quite different depending on the light and what colors it’s paired with. When choosing gray paint colors, you’ll definitely want to try a sample to make sure it’s the right shade for you.

One of the great things about gray is that because it’s so neutral it’s easy to coordinate with other colors. Gray complements most classic roof colors and it’s a great background for adding bolder colors like a bright red front door. Gray also hides dirt well so it’s easy to maintain as an exterior paint color and looks great without a lot of upkeep. Keep reading to find the perfect shade of gray for your exterior.
