The Best Exterior Paint Colors for Farmhouses

Seen here on our Georgia Idea House, Natural Choice from Sherwin-Williams is a fresh white shade that will pop against a natural landscape without being too stark and bright.

Casey Rutherford of Between White Houses used the off-white shade Gypsum from PPG for the siding color and PPG's Swirling Smoke for the shutters of her Georgia farmhouse to create a quintessential natural color palette.

To achieve a buttery hue that pairs well with a copper roof, use Navajo White by Sherwin-Williams that leans more towards a tan shade, pictured here on a restored Kentucky farmhouse.

Equal parts classic and modern, crisp white paint completes the photogenic style of Julia Engel's Charleston home. She chose Benjamin Moore's Simply White as the main color for the exterior and paired it with Blue Porcelain, also from Benjamin Moore, to complete the blue and white color scheme.

Alabaster from Sherwin Williams was their 2016 Color of the Year and has become a popular choice for exterior paint color. The true neutral, seen here on a charming Nashville home, is symbolic of new beginnings.

Sherwin-Williams' White Heron pops against darker door shades and creates a look of unity between the various architectural features of this Florida home.

Black shutters in Farrow & Ball's Off-Black stand out against an all-white exterior painted Sherwin-Williams' Creamy.

Seen here on our 2019 Idea House in Crane Island, Florida, Sherwin-Williams' Drift of Mist has more gray undertones, perfect for pairing with blue accent colors. It's paired here with Sherwin-Williams' Blustery Sky on the front door. 

Our Nashville Idea house at Fontanel displays a slightly darker shade, Sherwin-Williams' Intellectual Gray, which offers a mix between taupe and gray.
