Neutral vs. Bold Gutter Colors: How to Choose a Gutter Color at Home

You wouldn’t expect your gutter system to be an excellent design element, but it definitely is. Take a second to imagine what your home would look like sans the gutters and you’ll realize the roofline would look incomplete without them. That said, how well your gutters make a difference to your home’s overall appearance will depend on its color. Should you pick a neutral tone or go for a bolder hue? Let Deschutes Roofing & Insulation, the area’s premier metal roofing and gutter company, help you decide.

Why You Should Choose a Neutral Gutter Color

Playing it safe by picking a neutral color (such as beige, taupe, tan, or white) for your gutters is a good thing. A neutral-colored gutter system won’t clash with your exterior home palette, instead of blending seamlessly with your roofline to create a neater and more finished look. By emphasizing the lines and curves of your home, a neutral-colored gutter system helps it stand out better from the curb.

Why You Should Go For a Bold Gutter Color

Most homeowners are hesitant about picking a bold color for their new gutters. But when done correctly–and with the right hue–your gutters can help your home create a much greater impression. Kelly green, wine-red, copper, blue, and pink are all viable options that would look great with your residential roofing and add architectural interest to your home.

But you’ll need to consider a few things when Choosing Gutter Options

First, make sure to check with your local homeowner’s association and determine which gutter colors are approved by the covenants, conditions, and restrictions. Second, you also have to take into account the architectural style of your home and its exterior decor. You won’t want your vibrant gutters to look out of place. And third, you should consult a trusted roofing and gutter company, like Deschutes Roofing & Insulation, when in doubt. We’ll be more than happy to help you decide on the gutter color that will work best for your home.
