5 Tips To Make Sure Your Garage Door Colors Match Your House Colors

Generally speaking you should choose three colors for your home’s exterior, including garage door.

1. Dominant color, also called “field color”
2. Accent color
3. Trim color 

 Many exterior materials are available in color families that are easy to match, but some consideration must be given to choosing materials, or the look will be off. When purchasing a new garage door, colors are an important consideration. Here are five tips for matching garage door colors to your home.garage door colors
1. Commit to one neutral palate even if you are using colors. Most color families are considered either “warm” or “cool.” Such as you don’t wear grey socks with a brown belt, using one neutral to unify your color palate makes sense. Even greys and whites have subtle neutral undertones which can clash if mixed discordantly. For example, if you are using a cool grey for the trim, select cool hues for your garage door colors.

2. Match hardware and other metal accents to one style. Hopefully if you own a home, you know that there are more colors of metal than “gold” and “silver.” It is not enough to stick to either brass or steel, because the metals themselves can be brushed, lacquered or polished for a wide selection of textures and tones. Different eras are characterized by different types of hardware. Do your best to select accents that are of the same style. Every piece does not necessarily have to be marketed as a specific style or period; you will be able to choose for yourself after getting acquainted with what’s available. Decide if your home is suited to angular, bold, curved, old-fashioned, modern, or ornate hardware. Get a feel for the general characteristics of hardware you like on the entryway door, and use your judgment to select matching pieces.
