**Color Trends for Fall 2025 Exterior Paint**
For fall 2025, exterior paint color trends are shifting toward warm, earthy, and saturated tones, moving away from the cooler grays and stark contrasts of recent years. This new palette is inspired by nature, nostalgia, and a desire for inviting and personalized exteriors.
**Warm, Earthy Neutrals**
There is an increased focus on warm neutrals, providing a cozy and natural feel.
– **Warm Browns:** Rich brown shades are challenging the dominance of black as a bold neutral, making them compatible with various home styles, from modern to rustic.
– Sherwin-Williams: Grounded (SW 6089), a rich, comforting brown, and Clove (SW 9605), a deep, dark brown.
– Behr: Cedar, a warm and earthy golden-brown wood stain, chosen as the 2025 Exterior Stain Color of the Year.
– **Warm Whites and Beiges:** Soft, creamy whites and sandy beiges offer a timeless and inviting look.
– Sherwin-Williams: Sunbleached (SW 9585), a versatile grayish-white.
– Benjamin Moore: Swiss Coffee.
– Behr: Even Better Beige.
– **Greiges:** These versatile tones, which blend gray and beige, remain popular for their sophisticated yet approachable warmth.
– Benjamin Moore: Revere Pewter.
**Nature-Inspired Greens and Blues**
Connecting with the environment remains a significant theme, reflected in serene greens and moody blues.
– **Earthy Sage Green:** This muted, versatile tone harmonizes beautifully with nature and pairs well with white trim or warm wood.
– Sherwin-Williams: Anonymous, Evergreen Fog, and Illusive Green.
– **Moody and Airy Blues:** From deep, saturated jewel tones to tranquil sky blues, this color family continues to trend.
– Sherwin-Williams: Rain Cloud (SW 9639), a soft gray-blue, and Needlepoint Navy.
– Behr: Aerial View, a tranquil sky blue.
– PPG: Mysterious, a deep slate blue.
**Saturated, Bold Accents**
For those seeking more drama, rich and saturated accent colors are emerging.
– **Deep Reds and Plums:** These moody jewel tones add warmth and elegance. A deep ruby red can make a powerful statement on a front door.
– Behr: Rumors, a deep ruby red.
– Benjamin Moore: Cinnamon Slate, a blend of heathered plum and velvety brown.
– PPG: Purple Basil, a dark violet with mauve undertones.
– **Burnt Oranges and Yellows:** Spicy oranges and sunny yellows are making an appearance as vibrant, retro-flair accents.
– Sherwin-Williams: Chartreuse (SW 0073), a vibrant yellow-green, is recommended for front doors.
– Behr: Colorful Leaves, a rich, spicy deep orange.
**Dark, Nuanced Tones**
For a striking and contemporary look, many are opting for dark, personalized shades instead of stark black.
– **Charcoal Gray:** A sophisticated and elegant shade that makes a strong statement on modern homes, especially when paired with light trim.
– Benjamin Moore: Chelsea Gray and Kendall Charcoal.
– **Nuanced Darks:** Rather than pure black, dark colors are often softened with other tones.
– Behr: Gardener’s Soil, a dark black-brown.
**How to Incorporate These Trends**
– **Full Exterior:** Use a dominant warm neutral, such as a creamy beige or sage green, as the primary house color, with a darker accent for shutters or the front door.
– **Front Door Update:** For a high-impact, low-commitment project, paint your front door in a vibrant jewel tone like Behr’s Rumors or a yellow-green like Sherwin-Williams’ Chartreuse.
– **Trim Refresh:** Update cool whites with a warm off-white or greige for a classic, timeless appearance.
– **Wood Accents:** Highlight natural wood features on a porch, fence, or trim using Behr’s Cedar or Pittsburgh Paints Co.’s Oxford Brown exterior stains.
