Choosing color iseasier than you think.How to Use This Color GuideVytec can help take the guessworkout of choosing exterior colors. We’veput together some of the best sidingand trim color combinations, and organizedthem by light, medium and dark colors.Gather Your IdeasLook at magazines, or drive around yourneighborhood to see what you like best. Havingan idea of what colors you really like can makechoosing your home’s exterior a lot easier.2Colors throughout this brochure are simulated.Consult product samples before final selection.Remember to Look atReal Color SamplesAsk your contractor or builder to show yousamples of the colors you like best. It is alsohelpful to take samples outside to see how thecolor looks in natural light, and if your home hasany brick, stone or wood accents, see how thesample complements or contrasts that cladding.
TIPS TO GET STARTEDSiding covers about half of the exterior of an average home, and it is the most importantcolor choice you will make. Roof color has about 20% visual impact. Accent, shutter, doorand trim colors are the details that complete your home’s look.Also, your roof and any brick or stone accents can give you a place to start when choosing acolor scheme. You may want to highlight your home’s best features with contrasting trim andcorner posts to draw attention.Vytec Design Idea #1THINK ABOUT GABLE ACCENTSTurning a house into a home is all about the details. Considerthe addition of Shakes or Board & Batten as a gable or dormeraccent, as either a complimentary or a contrasting color, tocreate interest and greater curb appeal. Vytec offers a broadcolor palette including bold, dark colors for a distinctive style.Vytec Design Idea #2LET YOUR ROOF BE YOUR GUIDEYou probably already know that your siding color shouldcomplement your roof. But if you look closely at your shinglesyou may see a few tiny accent colors that inspire a bold exteriorcolor scheme. These little color fragments can’t always be seenat street level, but choosing siding in one of those colors islikely to create a fresh, pleasing look.Vytec Design Idea #3LET LANDSCAPING PLAY A ROLEThe shrubs and flowers in your yard play an integral role in theoverall picture of your home’s exterior. If you have a light colorscheme, your landscaping should also incorporate soft colors,like pinks, purples and yellows. Bolder siding colors look bestwith dark green shrubbery, and flowers in bold yellows orwhite – colors that “pop” out against the dark background.3
