Black Exterior Paint Colors

I’ve been so inspired recently by black exterior paint colors. Selecting a black paint color for your home’s exterior lets everyone know you’re trendy, stylish and bold. But in the world of moody paint colors, not all black paints are created equal! Continue reading to see my top black exterior paint colors and imagine how they might look on your home’s exterior.

To help you achieve the perfect black exterior, I’ve color matched these beautiful finishes. Before you dive in and paint your entire house I always recommend testing a sample area first to make sure you love it!

Black Cottage With Brick

This adorable cottage finished with black siding and red brick is the perfect combination for a timeless exterior. The dark paint color contrasting with the brick is unexpected and eye catching. The black finish has the smallest tint of blue, and a medium gloss finish which makes it appear a bit darker. To see the full cottage renovation reveal head on over to Habit Us Living! You won’t want to miss its timeless modern interior.

Black Green Exterior

Built by Trickle Creek Homes in Calgary Alberta, this home has a gorgeous black paint color. With just the slightest hint of mossy green this is the perfect paint color for a home set in nature. I love a deep mossy green paint color and this home exterior is at the top of my list! This is a great paint color if you’re hesitant to go all the way with a true black.

Black Backyard Office

I’ve been working from home for the past year and a half – and boy am I jealous of this backyard barn! The folks over at Adore Home Magazine purchased a pre-fab shed, but did all the finishing themselves. They decided to paint the entire thing black – both inside and out! Black seemed like a risky choice at first, but turned out to be a huge success! The matt black is so edgy and modern.

Ultra Modern Black Farmhouse

How fantastic is this ultra modern farmhouse by The Black House. I love this bold choice and mix of stucco, metal siding, and corrugated metal. A true modern masterpiece and proof that black paint goes so well with any style exterior! Not only does the black painted exterior look cool and modern, homeowner David says he hardly needs to decorate for Halloween. A huge plus in my books!

Modern Edgy Bungalow

This gorgeous modern bungalow by Parkview House is the perfect urban oasis. The design of the house focuses on indoor/outdoor living and a modern color scheme featuring black painted siding and natural wood deck. The oversized sliding doors let massive amounts of light into the home and help break up the dark paint color.

Beautiful Black Exterior

This greenblack paint color by Sherwin Williams is one of my favourite dark paint colors for exteriors. With just the right amount of green, this particular black is so on trend. Greenblack looks great with cedar wood accents and even beige stone like they’ve done on this gorgeous home!

Textured Black Exterior

When going with a monochromatic exterior, like this all black home by Caliber in Iowa, it’s so important to add texture. See the variation in siding they’ve used? This design hack helps break up the home’s exterior and define certain areas. It keeps your eye moving around rather than staring at one large black blob. I also love the design of that wood front door. It draws you in and creates an inviting atmosphere.

Black Shed with Mint Door

I love a mint door moment, and what a more perfect example than Nikki’s backyard shed! This black exterior color scheme is fun and modern. Layered with plants and accent seating, Nikki has created an adorable space you’d actually want to hang out in – and its a shed! I just love how versatile black can be!
