Dark exterior homes are a trend we’ll never get enough of. Dark paint colors are classic, chic and elegant, and can completely transform a space, however, they can also be fairly intimidating or hard to choose from all the different options.
I’m working on an exterior project that needs cohesive moody colors, and I’ve spent hours scouring Instagram and Pinterest for inspo. We’re soo close to making a decision, but I can’t keep all of this research to myself because finding beautiful exterior homes with the actual paint colors sourced is actually posing quite difficult to find, so here is a round-up of our top 7 favorite dark, moody exterior paint colors that we feel are bold but timeless. If you’re not sure how you feel about going dark on your exterior, scroll through these photos for some inspiration and let us know how you feel.
If you’ve been won over by the dark exterior trend, make sure to sample it in person before going all in. Paint colors spotted online may look different in person for so many reasons: lighting, if the photographer has done editing, the surrounding colors (stone, wood, landscaping, roof, etc.), your phone or computer screen calibration when looking at the color online, different paint sheens, the material the paint is being applied to… moral of the story, always do a sample spot and make sure you love the color on your space before painting the whole project!
And if you decide to go for it, we would love to see your transformations!
