It’s finally spring in Vancouver, which means exterior painting season is just around the corner. When it comes to exterior painting, choosing colours can be difficult. The colour of your home can show off your personality, up the curb appeal, and increase the property value of your home.

At Even Better Painting, we paint hundreds of homes in the Lower Mainland each year. With the help of our colour consultants, a big part of our job as a professional painting company is to help our clients choose the perfect colour for their home. From calming blues to bold greens, these colors are sure to give your home a fresh and modern look. Let’s take a look at some of our top picks for exterior painting colours this year:

Navy blue is a timeless choice for Vancouver homes

Navy blue is a classic color that has been trending for a while and is not going away any time soon. It’s a versatile color that can be used on a variety of home styles, from traditional to modern. Navy blue looks particularly striking when paired with crisp white trim or accents, making it a great option for a bold and sophisticated look.

Our favourite navy blue paint colours

1. Benjamin Moore’s Marine Blue – this is one of our go-to options for a classic, bright blue exterior
2. Cloverdale’s Quiet Peace – for a more subtle option, Quiet Peace’s grey undertones are soft and soothing
3. Cloverdale’s Estate – this deep blue is a great option, especially when paired with bright white trim

Grey tones are a great neutral option for any home

Soft gray has been a popular choice for home exteriors for a few years now, and it’s still going strong. It’s a neutral color that works well with a range of other colors, making it a great option if you want to add some color to your home without going too bold. Soft gray looks particularly elegant when paired with white or black accents.

2. Benjamin Moore’s Coventry Grey – Coventry Grey is a stormy grey with neutral undertones.
3. Dulux’s Steeple Grey – This saturated grey from Dulux looks amazing when paired with darker grey or black exterior features.

Dark green fits beautifully with Vancouver’s rich rain forest environment

Dark green is a rich and luxurious color that’s perfect for homes with lots of natural surroundings. It’s a bold choice that makes a statement and looks particularly stunning when paired with natural wood elements. Dark green is also a great option if you want to add some depth and dimension to your home’s exterior.

Create a bright and inviting vibe with beige

Warm beige is a comforting and inviting color that’s perfect for homes with a cozy, cottage-like feel. It’s a great option if you want to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Warm beige looks particularly charming when paired with natural wood accents and white trim. If you are considering selling your home and are repainting to increase the value of your property, beige can be a great choice.
