Neutral vs. Bold: Choosing a Gutter Color

When choosing gutters, people tend to focus on the shape and size of the gutters, but fail to consider the color that’s best for the exterior of their home and improves its curb appeal. In terms of color, you generally have to choose between neutral and bold shades. 

Neutral Gutters

If you want a gutter system that won’t disrupt or clash with the principal look and feel of your property, neutral-color gutters are an excellent choice. It’s also a smart move to mull over the color scheme of the garage space and match the new gutters to its primary color so the gutters won’t stand out too much. Since gutters are a part of the roofing system that is usually visible from the road, selecting a neutral color that fuses seamlessly with the rest of the exterior while giving it a clear and sharp outline can do wonders. White, tan, beige, gray and brown are some of the most popular neutral colors for gutters.

Bold Colors

You may freely choose bold-colored gutters for your residential roofing to make it stand out from the rest of your property – perhaps even the neighborhood – but this will depend on your personal character and, more urgently, the location of your home as some homeowners associations do not allow bright and bold colors for gutters. 

Bright blue, Kelly green and yellow are all possible and can add visual interest to your home. It’s also important that you consider the architectural style of your house, the exterior decoration and landscaping around the residence before committing to distinct and vibrant colors. When designed and installed professionally, gutters with a bright and energetic shade can enhance the personality of your home.
