SHINGLE AND SIDING COLORS FOR 2023: A QUICK GUIDE

You are trying to choose new exterior colors, but the choices are often overwhelming! Choosing the right shingle and siding colors gives your home a fresh look and boosts your Wisconsin home’s curb appeal. Read on to learn about trendy siding colors and what shingle colors complement those siding colors. 

WHITE SIDING

White siding has seen an increase in popularity since 2021 and has not stopped. This style is known for making homes look larger and being a common choice for farmhouses. White is a “blank canvas” and allows you to choose a range of colors for accents. Variations of colors are possible to use for window trim, your front door, or exterior decorations. 

MANY SHINGLE COLORS

Using white siding gives you the opportunity to choose almost any shingle color. From red to black, there are several options for white homes. To have an excellent contrast for your Wisconsin home, stick to primary colors. 

GRAY SIDING

Depending on which shade of gray you choose, it changes the tone of your home. Lighter grays provide a neutral color scheme for your home compared to eye-catching dark grays. There are various complimenting colors to use for windows, doors, and other accents. 

OPPOSITES ATTRACT WITH SHINGLES

If you choose a lighter gray, darker colors look the best for your shingles. Dark blues, grays, and black are some options you can choose for your roof’s shingles. However, if you have a darker gray home, you should go with lighter color options. White or light gray shingles are an excellent contrast to a darker gray home. 

BLUE SIDING

Various shades of blue continue to be popular choices for siding colors. From light to dark blues, each option is eye-catching and stands out from other homes. Stone or stucco accents go perfectly with blue siding because of its versatility and richness. 

GRAY OR BLACK SHINGLES

Whether it is light or dark blue siding, gray and black are great color choices for your roof’s shingles. Dark gray and black shingles make a light blue house stand out. Another option for blue siding is using brown shingles, but it depends on the lightness or darkness of the blue. 

BROWN SIDING

Brown is a neutral, yet pleasing color for your Wisconsin home’s siding. Light and dark browns highlight traditional styles of architecture. Wood and stone are great accents to brown siding because it brings out the color’s natural undertones. 

BEWARE OF MATCHING SHINGLES

You want to avoid choosing solid brown as a shingle color to compliment your home’s brown siding. Brown shingles on brown siding give your home a monochrome look and do not enhance your curb appeal. When you are looking for shingle colors, offset the brown with gray, green, and black. This gives your home some contrast without looking monochrome or clashing colors.
