Color Palettes for Each Season

Florida's changing light and weather can impact how exterior colors look over time. Understanding these shifts is key to picking palettes that stay attractive and work well with the environment.

Spring Colors: Light and Airy

Spring is the perfect time for refreshing, soft tones that match the season's vibrant landscapes. These colors bring a welcoming feel while blending beautifully with blooming surroundings. Try these combinations:

• Main siding: Soft sage green or warm beige
• Trim: Crisp white or light cream
• Accents: Pale yellow or subtle blue-gray

For accents, Evening Blue from James Hardie is a standout choice.

Summer Colors: Vibrant and Coastal

Florida's summer sun is intense, so you'll need colors that hold their vibrancy under strong UV exposure. Coastal-inspired palettes are a great fit for this season:

• Main siding: Light gray or sandy beige
• Trim: Bright white
• Accents: Navy blue or seafoam green

Fall Colors: Warm and Inviting

Even with Florida's mild autumn, warm tones can create a cozy, welcoming exterior. Consider these options:

• Main siding: Warm taupe or light brown
• Trim: Creamy white
• Accents: Deep burgundy or forest green

Adding James Hardie Shingle Siding can bring a rustic, textured look to your fall palette.

Winter Colors: Crisp and Cool

Winter’s clear light works well with sharp, clean color contrasts. These combinations are perfect for a polished, modern look:

• Main siding: Pearl gray or slate blue
• Trim: Pure white
• Accents: Charcoal or deep navy

Tips for Changing Colors by Season

It's important to test colors in various natural lighting conditions before making a final decision. Here's how you can keep your home's exterior looking its best all year long.

How to Test Colors

Make sure your chosen colors look good in every light. Here's how to test them effectively:

• Use large sample boards (about 2' x 2') painted with your chosen colors.
• Check how the colors appear at different times of the day - morning, midday, and evening.
• Observe the samples on both sunny and cloudy days.
• Test colors on multiple sides of your home.
• Step back and evaluate the colors from about 20 feet away.

Choosing Durable Paint

Pick paints and finishes that can handle tough weather conditions like intense sunlight and humidity. For example, James Hardie siding is known for its durability and long-lasting colors. Look for:

• UV-resistant products to prevent fading.
• Paints and finishes designed to resist moisture.
• Materials suited for harsh or coastal climates.
• Options with fade-resistant technology for lasting vibrancy.

Easy Seasonal Updates

You don't need a full repaint to refresh your home's look. Focus on small, impactful updates:

• Front Door: A fresh coat of paint can make a bold statement.
• Shutters: Change their color to match the season's palette.
• Trim Accents: Update window and door trim for a polished look.
• Decorative Touches: Add seasonal planters, wreaths, or outdoor decor for a cohesive style.
