Every year, the season’s hottest colors and DIY projects are announced, and homeowners have a chance to stand out with the latest trends. We’re bringing you the top four show-stopping tones for this season and an added bonus for the homeowners looking for something BOLD. With references from HGTV and Pantone’s Fall 2016 color palette, we’re sure we’ve got something for everyone’s style!
Blue
Classic blue makes its way back into our homes this season, adding cool tones to your front door or trendy welcome mat. With a mid-tone blue, such as Pantone’s Riverside, and a light-tone blue, like Pantone’s Airy Blue, finding a hue that suits your style and your home is easy. Want to turn it up a few notches? Airy blue shutters are the perfect way to enhance your curb appeal.

Brown
While your typical chocolate brown has been deemed a bit outdated, lighter tones, similar to the season’s spices and beverages, have been a huge hit. Mocha, taupe and cinnamon -- a timeless choice for our neutral lovers and painting your entryway door adds a bit of warmth to the front of your home.

Gray has a wide range of hues and can fit within many different preferences and designs. Colors similar to Pantone’s Sharkskin add sophistication and can easily be paired with bolder colors.
