Choosing yellow paint colors for house exterior can be daunting to say the least! I will walk through some exact pictures of homes and their exact paint colors. These will include cool yellows, warm yellows, darker yellows and lighter yellows. Hopefully these home styles and various yellow paint colors will help you narrow down your choice for your house project!
Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow
Hawthorne Yellow by Benjamin Moore is a MAINSTAY in the yellow paint color category! It reigns queen among many lighter yellow shades. You cannot go wrong with this paint color!
Behr Zinnia Gold
Zinnia Gold by Behr is this home exterior paint color. What a difference we are seeing in yellow paint colors for house exterior!
Craftsman style houses often have deeper exterior paint colors; Therefore, Zinnia Gold, by Behr, works well here.
This is is a saturated mustard yellow. In contrast, other house-styles depict lighter and brighter exterior colors.
This deeper yellow paint color blends well with nature and a heavily treed area.
Behr Sweet Chamomile
‘Sweet Chamomile’ paint color shows on this exterior as a heavily saturated yellow-green. Yellow is for sure the dominant color. Green is a very subtle undertone. Although we don’t see this yellow tone very often on home exteriors, it is executed quite well.
Benjamin Moore Golden Lab
‘Golden Lab‘ is a top contender for yellow paint colors for house exterior. Secondly, if you choose this color, I would also consider using the same green trim color they used here, ‘Lafayette Green.’ This is a match made in heaven!
Glidden Cottage Yellow: Classic Yellow Paint Color For House Exterior!
This is a bold true yellow that leans warm. It is reminiscent of butter or margarine (if I’m being honest)!
‘Cottage Yellow’ is daring and vivid. However, it works on a classic and traditional, colonial style home.
Homey Cream appears saturated at about 50% of what Cottage Yellow paint color is. Although the exact shades are different, remember, playing with saturation is one way to get the right yellow you are looking for, in darker and lighter options!
Sherwin Williams Daybreak
This is a lovely yellow paint color for a house exterior. It is subtle and muted, yet still delivers the “happy” that yellow houses always do!
Valspar Homey Creme
Here is a nice closeup of yellow painted siding in a darker, warm yellow paint color called ‘Homey Creme.’ It has orange undertones and looks great on this traditional exterior.
Sherwin Williams Sunbeam Yellow
Sunbeam Yellow presents as a very warm hue of yellow, with a unique undertone that I cannot quite grasp. Could it be pink or orange? Other deeper yellows seem to have a deep brown added for depth. This one does not have that.
Sherwin Williams Daffodil
Daffodil by Sherwin Williams is a warm orange-ish yellow paint color that shows great on a craftsman style home with orange and red accents.
Sherwin Williams Solaria
At first glance, the shutters and door may appear a deep red-brown. But it’s a stained wood! The white picket fence is the epitome of quaint, yet I wonder about the color combo. It is very very happy and I will leave it at that!
This concludes our assessment of yellow paint colors for house exteriors! I hope this has proved a helpful starting point on your next house project!
