Choosing the right gutter colors for a house is a big part of any home’s curb-appeal. That’s why in addition to offering superb functionality, LeafGuard gutters are available in an array of colors. If you’re in the market for new gutters and are having trouble deciding which colors will work with you house, first ask yourself these important questions:

  • Do you want your gutters to blend in or make a striking contrast? Many homeowners prefer to have matching gutters that blend in with their home’s facade. But if you’d like a striking visual element on the exterior of your home, consider color schemes that will make your gutters stand out.
  • Is ease of maintenance a concern? Light colors tend to show stains and debris like splashed up mud, grass clippings or mulch particles, while these won’t be as noticeable on a darker color.
  • Are there any neighborhood or HOA color restrictions? Make sure your choice isn’t restricted by your neighborhood before settling on a color for your gutter system.

5 Pro Tips to Help You Select the Perfect Gutter Color

New gutters should have a long service life. That’s why LeafGuard gutter colors have a durable ScratchGuard finish, backed by a limited lifetime damage warranty. But it’s exactly because of this long service life that people who choose LeafGuard gutters are wise to pick a color they’ll be pleased with in the long-term.

Here’s advice for the 5 common ways you might be looking to select your gutter color:

  1. Matching Your Roof Color: This is important if you want their gutters to look like an extension of your roof, so they don’t stand out. While the gutter color doesn’t need to be an exact match, do choose a shade that closely matches your shingles or metal roof finish.
  2. Going Bold: If you want to use the gutters as a contrasting design element, pick a complementary shade that’s either much darker or lighter than the colors on your home’s roof, trim and cladding.
  3. Duplicating an Existing Color Palette: When choosing gutters, picking a color for the gutters and downspouts that’s close to your home’s cladding or siding color will make them blend in with the exterior walls, increasing the chance they will go unnoticed.
  4. Picking a Shade Similar to Your Fascia/Trim Color:  Choosing a color that harmonizes with your home’s fascia and corner trim boards can make the gutters and downspouts meld into the outline of your home so they don’t stand out as a distinct feature.
  5. Mixing and Matching: Another alternative is to choose one color for the gutters themselves so they match either the roof or the fascia, then pick a second color for the downspouts so they mesh with the corner trim, cladding color, or house color.
