Vinyl siding is one of the most popular types of house siding on the market thanks to the long list of functional benefits it provides. And while its innate energy efficiency and virtually maintenance-free design are impressive, it’s the wide selection of design options available that truly sets this type of house siding apart. Vinyl siding comes in many color options, styles, and finishes, so you can create a custom look that you’ll love coming home to.

Once you’ve decided to install new vinyl siding on your home, you have a lot of design-related decisions to make, including choosing from a vast array of colors.

Popular Vinyl Siding Color Options

Different colors encourage different emotions, and you’ll want to think about the feeling each color provokes when making a decision. Some popular options include:

*More styles & colors available during free consultation

Reds, Browns, and Yellows

Warm colors, like red, brown, and yellow create an inviting atmosphere that makes guests feel immediately welcome.

Blues, Grays, and Greens

If you want to create a sense of ease at your home, cool tones are the perfect choice. Blues, grays, and greens encourage peacefulness and relaxation.

Whites and Creams

Lighter colors have a sense of openness about them that can exaggerate the size of your home and make it appear larger than it actually is.

Of course, the most important thing to think about when considering vinyl siding color options is how each color makes you feel. Your home should be a sanctuary that you love spending time in and are proud to show off. Choosing a color that makes you happy will help your house feel even more like home.

Tips for Choosing the Best Color Siding

Start by Narrowing it Down

Narrow your list down to four colors so it’s easier to compare and make a decision. Don’t forget about the trim, either. Most homes look best with trim in a contrasting color that’s just a few shades lighter or darker than the main siding color. As a general rule of thumb, light siding looks best with darker trim and darker siding looks nice with a lighter trim.

Think About the Future—Are You Going to Sell?

Take into consideration not just what colors are popular or what you like, but whether you plan to sell in the next 10 years. If you’re thinking about selling, try and choose a color that is neutral and has wide aesthetic appeal rather than a trendy color that will go out of style in three or four years.

Consider Your Surroundings

Take your home’s surroundings into consideration when looking at different vinyl siding color options. Are you in a heavily wooded neighborhood? Or are you surrounded by other homes? What will your home’s exterior siding color look like next to the homes around you or in natural surroundings?

Don’t Forget About Environmental Factors

Are you in a warm, humid, or rainy part of the country, or is your home in the shade? If you are in an area that is subjected to prolonged moisture and possibly mold build up, you might want to consider a darker color that does not show dirt or mold as easily so that your siding requires less frequent cleaning. Lighter colors are less forgiving than darker ones.

Look for Examples

To get a more accurate idea of what the color you choose would like on your home, ask if there are any other homes in the area that have that color siding installed and go check it out. Seeing it installed on an entire house will help you decide if it’s right for you.
