Greige is the exterior color I steer almost every first-timer toward, because it is hard to get wrong. Drifting Greige carries the main siding with a warm, settled feel that looks at home next to brick, stone, or plants, and it never tips into cold gray.
To keep things crisp, Misted Linen softens the trim and ceilings while Cloud White brightens the spots you want to pop, like a porch ceiling or front columns. The two whites are close on purpose, so the house feels layered rather than stark.
For warmth and a little 2026 edge, Weathered Oak is your wood moment — a natural door, beam, or planter — and Deep Slate is the quiet anchor. Paint the front door and shutters in that slate and the whole exterior suddenly looks finished and intentional.
