*Drum roll, please!*
Here are our top exterior home colors for 2022:
Wonderful White
Was there ever really a question if white exterior siding would be back? There’s a reason the look that took over homes for the last two years is still a major player in today’s exterior design trends. Its clean, modern appeal adds an inviting sophistication to many home types. It also allows you to experiment with dark accent colors in areas like trim and shutters.

James Hardie ‘Arctic White’
Soft Neutrals
If the stark white isn’t your thing, you might prefer a softer neutral exterior siding color. By toning down the white color, you still create a lush look you’ll love. Remember, pending the amount of sun that hits your home, even softer whites can take on different shades at different times of the day.

James Hardie ‘Sandstone Beige’
Earth Tones
Leave it to Earth tone siding colors to keep your home grounded in beauty. Complete opposite of the white siding and paint craze, Earth tones offer a cozy richness of their own. Earth tones tend to introduce a rich brown color to the mix, but can be any colors that are inspired by Mother Nature — including greens, blues, and reds. Since Mother Nature has been doing her thing for longer than we’ve been here, these exterior colors tend to stay in trend equally as long.
You might want to look toward Earth tone colors if you want your home to blend into your landscape, or let the scenery around your home be the star.
