In exterior home renovation, color is one of the most powerful tools for contractors. Siding colors don’t just set the tone; they also highlight architectural details and create a lasting impression of the home’s curb appeal.

Looking forward to 2025, several key exterior color trends are gaining traction, including bold hues and darker tones. The popular color palettes can be broken down into three categories: Blues and Greens, Reds and Purples, and Deeps and Darks. Thanks to technological advances in vinyl siding that disperse heat and act as a protective sunscreen for the home, darker-colored siding options are now possible without concerns of warping and fading from UV ray exposure.

The following in-demand color schemes allow homeowners to personalize their exteriors while maintaining a modern look.

Blues and Greens: Dramatic and Contemporary

Blue and green continue to be a top choice for homeowners for its sense of creating a calm, natural look. These hues are popular both on the inside and outside, showing up in kitchens and baths as well as on the exterior façade. They offer remarkable versatility, effortlessly complementing accent hues such as cream, rich wood tones or even bold blacks. Colors such as forest green, navy blue or deep teal pair well with elements like stone and wood to enhance the contemporary or rustic feel of the home.

Reds and Purples: Warmth and Bold Statements

Reds and purples in a home’s exterior add energy and warmth to the space. From accents to full siding applications, these colors work well in many home styles. For a classic look, consider pairing red siding with stone columns or crisp white accents. This allows the home to make a modern statement while still maintaining traditional charm. Deeper hues like burgundy or plum add character and can create a sense of grandeur. When used thoughtfully, reds and purples can transform a home into a true focal point.

Deep and Dark: A Dramatic Step Forward

Homeowners are taking a dramatic step forward to deep and dark siding colors like black, navy, brown and charcoal. These powerful hues bring a sense of mystery and sophistication to the home. Dark siding can also be paired with dark trim for a sleek, minimalist look or with light accents for contrast.

Personalization is Key

So, why are we seeing more homeowners gravitate to darker hues? Recent advancements in vinyl siding materials have made it easier than ever for contractors to offer a plethora of colors that are as long-lasting as they are beautiful. As we approach 2025, homeowners are increasingly seeking custom palettes that reflect their unique tastes and personalities. With so many choices available, any home can be transformed into a true showstopper.
