Top Exterior House Paint Colours For 2023
Haven’t We All Just Had Enough Of Gray?
Here in Vancouver, BC you see so many houses that are painted grey, it really gets to be rather depressing and to be frank, boring. It’s possible to choose an exterior colour that still has a greyish feel to it but with a nice undertone of colour that helps to give life and create something interesting that sets you apart from your neighbours. It’s entirely possible to have colour that doesn’t make your house look like a child’s playground.
Here are a few of my favourite exterior house paint colour options for 2023. Location is important when looking at colours and here in Vancouver it’s often overcast and grey. This means that, in general, house paint colours that are a bit desaturated tend to work nicely.
Please keep in mind that colours appear differently on a computer screen from how they do in real life.
Let’s start off with a couple of Benjamin Moore colours.
I have to say that this is one of my favourite exterior house paint colours. Benjamin Moore’s Mount Saint Anne. It’s a lovely and sophisticated green. I’ve paired it with Acadia White from Benjamin Moore.
Another great Benjamin Moore option is Knoxville Gray, which also has a green undertone to it. Gives your house a real stately look. I’ve paired it with Woodlawn Blue for a tone on tone feel, which I think looks really nice on the exterior of a house. I get so tired of white trim. Both these colours are from the Benjamin Moore Historical Colour Collection.
Here are two samples from Sherwin Williams.
I can tell you right now that this paint colour looks much better in person than it’s going to look on your computer screen. I think this is a nice putty colour that works well on stucco, it’s called Chatroom and I’ve paired it with Sherwin Williams Web Gray for sophisticated curb appeal.
Another big favourite of mine from Sherwin Williams is Homburg Gray. This colour has so much character to it and appears much more complex in real life than it will on your computer screen. In real life it’s green, blue and grey all at the same time. I’ve paired it with Sherwin Williams Dover White. A nice creamy white that’s not too stark. I personally really dislike stark whites they just look hard and unwelcoming.
