Classic vinyl siding colors

No matter which type of siding you choose or which paint you purchase alongside your brushes, you’ll find that a handful of classic colors are almost always suitable for house siding. They bring versatility and tradition to your home remodeling project.

Those colors are:

• White, a neutral color and perfect for homeowners who favor clean looks (but keep in mind that you’ll have to pressure wash your siding more often)
• Beige or brown, a go-to color in suburban areas as a neutral, earthy tone
• Light gray, which is natural, mature, and a smart choice with homes that incorporate some amount of stonework
• Red, particularly muted hues, as it stands out and, if you want, can help you achieve a farmhouse aesthetic for your Triad property
• Blue, a popular vinyl siding choice thanks to its calming nature
• Green, a natural shade that’s perfect for homes surrounded by greenery and that have red brick chimneys or other elements

Any of these colors could work perfectly for the primary shade of your siding or as secondary colors to each other.

Vinyl siding color combinations to consider

When you paint siding or purchase new panels, you don’t just have to think about one color. You have to consider:

• The primary siding color
• The siding trim color
• The siding accent color

Combining exterior house colors can be a little trickier than choosing your favorite hues on the color wheel. For example, red and blue are trickier to combine on your house compared to a pair of neutral colors, like gray and white.

1. Gray, white, + accent of choice

When in doubt, you can stick with classic gray for the primary color of your siding. Then, opt for white as a secondary color with your choice of accent shade. This basic color scheme setup is ideal since you can rest assured your home won't look too out of place anywhere, no matter the aesthetic of your neighborhood. But the accent color still gives you a little extra flexibility and room to personalize your house. Consider colors like red, blue, and green!

This classic, always-in-style color combination might be ideal for insulated vinyl siding, like Alside’s various options.

2. Blue, white + accent color of choice

Alternatively, simply swap gray as your siding’s primary color for dark blue instead. A deep, muted blue is usually better than light colors, though it’s ultimately up to you. Regardless, blue and white go very well together, and you can finish the set with an accent color like green or brown to lean into a natural theme for your home’s colors.

3. Brown, tan, and clay accent

Have a colonial-style home? You might want to go with a brown-based vinyl siding color combination. Start with a basic brown shade for most siding panels, then add tan as a secondary color with clay accents. This vinyl siding color scheme will help your home look and feel like it harkens back to an earlier time: perfect if you already have colonial shutters over your home windows and a wooden porch.

This color combo could be the perfect choice with siding like Ply Gem’s Carvedwood 44, which offers superior thickness and is available in several different designer colors.

4. Amber/red, brown, and brown accent

Warm reds are excellent colors for siding, so we recommend starting with amber for your home’s primary siding color. Complement it with brown for the secondary and accent colors – just be sure to pick a different shade of brown for both so they don’t seem too uniform. This could be a great pick for a more remote, rural Triad area home, especially if you have a red barn elsewhere on your property.

5. Brown, white, and green accent

You can alternatively return to brown as your primary siding shade. Then pick white as your secondary color but throw in a dark green, forest-colored accent. You might like this vinyl siding color combination if you're a fan of rustic aesthetics and wooden cabins.

6. Red, white, and gray accent

Still feeling like red is more the way to go? Pick a brick red as your primary vinyl color, then use white as a secondary with gray accents. This timeless color combo is a little more visually interesting than gray and brown while still being suitable for most neighborhoods.

Choosing vinyl siding color schemes

The above vinyl siding color combinations are our personal favorites. But they don’t have to be yours! If none of our picks feel just right for your Triad home, you can always determine the ideal vinyl siding color scheme yourself.

How? We recommend:

• Considering your home's architectural style. For instance, say you have a classic colonial-style Triad house. Neutral colors and shades of brown will help evoke that aesthetic and complement your house's silhouette.
• Thinking of your neighborhood and geographic location. If everyone on the block has gray houses, for instance, you can pick a brighter shade for your vinyl siding to stand out or blend in with a shade of gray of your own.
• Looking at paint or color charts if you’re painting over existing siding. Get a paint color chart from your selected brand so you can see the exact shades of paint you can purchase and what colors go well together.

When all is said and done, you'll want to get siding from experts with the right materials and the know-how to install it properly.
