Warm & Earthy Colors
As homeowners look to add warmth to their everyday living areas, warm, earth tones are becoming highly sought-after siding colors. Warm, earthy siding colors create a cozy and intimate feeling, making the exterior more inviting for guests as they enter the home. These colors have a wide variety, like browns, oranges, reds, and tans, allowing homeowners to choose a siding color that highlights their overall style and home design.

Like the warm, earthy colors mentioned above, these colors add a cozy and welcoming aura to exteriors while making the exterior appear larger. Popular cream siding colors can be warm or cool-toned, giving homeowners an assortment, they can choose from when designing their homes. The subtle tones allow for pops of colors in accent siding pieces or a fun front door. Unsurprisingly, these hues are one of the more popular siding colors as they create a timeless exterior that will withstand trends year after year.
Lush & Vibrant Green Colors
The last few years have seen a huge surge in green inside homes, which has begun reaching exteriors, and there’s no sign of the popular trend stopping. The natural hues in green siding colors give the home the feeling of a soothing outdoor sanctuary, and they are finding their way into an array of architectural styles, like Craftsman, Mid-Century Modern, and Victorian. Overall, green emits a positive and uplifting vibe, making homeowners feel content as they pull into their driveways after a long, stressful day away.
Dark & Moody Colors
Dark and moody exteriors have become popular in Colorado and the Dakotas, and the trend is sweeping across the United States, and we see the trend continuing to grow in 2024. Black, navy, and dark charcoal gray siding give any exterior a modern edge and provide the perfect backdrop for ways to add additional colors and textures. These dark siding colors can be given an extra dimension by mixing styles like board and batten, shake siding, and horizontal lap siding to create a truly one-of-a-kind look. While dark siding is mostly found on Craftsman homes, farmhouses and even residences of traditional-style homes are hitting the forefront with the boom in popularity of going dark.
