Exterior Trim and Shutter Color Ideas

Trim and shutters frame the walls, so a small change here shifts how the whole house reads. These three guides cover the most common pairings: black trim in several schemes, a gray and white combination with a matching door, and white walls set against black trim. Start with the one closest to your wall color, then compare its paint matches in daylight on your own siding before you buy.
