7 Classic Southern Paint Colors

We’ve rounded up the colors most closely associated with our region’s architecture.

Creole Pink

Creole Pink

Throughout New Orleans, Savannah, and other Southern towns influenced by the Creole and Caribbean cultures, you will find plenty of pink houses. Not a hot pink, but a more subtle hue that has been mixed with khaki.

You don’t have to live in one of these coastal towns to bring their signature muddy pink to your home. While it works well as a backdrop to Historic Charleston Green trim, consider painting your exterior Creole pink with gray trim for fresh look. If you prefer a lighter and more classic effect, update a traditional white home with pinkish-khaki accents.
