For the exterior of a home, classic colors that still feel new are what many of us want. Nothing too wild, but a variation from the same old. If you are looking for inspiration, or blue paint color ideas, this is the post to read! Below is a collection of white homes with blue shutters, curated just for you.

Blue Louvered ShuttersShould my shutters match my trim?Typically, shutters are matched to the trim color so that it's hard to tell where the window casing ends and the shutters begin. But, there is nothing wrong with having two different colors, especially if you want the contrast or you don't want to make the room seem too dark or too light.
What trim goes with a blue house?Certain shades of gray, cream, or brown trim can bring out various tones in blue siding, making it appear darker, redder, or more muted. The same goes for other exterior features, like roofing, foundation, stone features, and brick accent walls.
What color should shutters be on a blue house?Shutter Colors for Blue Houses
When you have blue siding, think of the colors in the sky when choosing shutter colors to match your home. Good options for shutter colors to match a blue house are other shades of watery blue, cloudy grays, or even light sunny yellows.
Should shutters be lighter or darker than house?Once you've decided on a few options, take your color swatches outside. Colors intensify and look brighter in the sun, so always go a few shades lighter than the color you initially prefer indoors. Finally, for the overall look of your house, shutter colors should reflect the people who live inside.
