Changing the color of your siding can not only have an impact on how you feel about your home, but on its value, too. Choosing a combination of hues that's beautiful and pleasing to the eye is an entirely different task altogether. If you've been stymied about what siding colors to choose, use these 4 questions to give yourself a sure-footed start.

What's your neighborhood like?

Driving around and taking in the color schemes of homes you love is a good first step when deciding on siding color. But don't ignore your own area and, in particular, homes styled similar to yours. Although you want to put your stamp on your siding color scheme, you also want your selection to look good in your home's location. Of course, if your neighborhood is more eclectic, you have more latitude when it comes to siding colors.

What's the architecture of your home?

Your home's style may provide visual cues that you should listen to, but not be completely bound by, when it comes to selecting siding colors. For example, Colonial homes are often painted a single color such as white; unusual accents can offer a subtle, yet modern twist to that traditional scheme. Some home styles -- cottage, country -- may offer more freedom when it comes to choosing siding colors for your home.     

How big is your house?

Viewed on their own, siding color swatches can be misleading. A dark color may look rich and distinctive, but when painted on the facade of a mid- to large-scale house, it can feel gloomy and overpowering. At the same time, colors that are too light may prevent a smaller home from standing out in its landscape. Keep this in mind: Lighter colors neutralize features that you may wish to de-emphasize, while darker colors draw attention to places you may want to highlight.

What color is your roof?

Siding colors have a variable lifespan, but a roof will probably last from 20 to 30 years. As a result, roof color should be a factor that you consider when choosing siding colors. If your roofing material is dark, it may motivate you to consider a lighter siding color scheme; a more neutral roof hue may allow more choices when it comes to exterior schemes.
