The weather in Alaska can be punishing, so for your outdoor painting project you should choose a high-quality brand of exterior paint designed to withstand the state's harsh winters. Fairbanks Paint & Glass in Alaska carries a wide selection of these in a variety of popular colors. Below, they discuss the hottest hues to pursue in 2018. 

The Most Popular Exterior Paint Colors This Year

1. Greige

Greige is a mixture of two of the most popular neutral colors: gray and beige. Its base is earthy with overtones of very pale coral. To set it off properly, choose a flat paint for the house's body, and a bright white semi-gloss for the trim. 

2. Soft Yellow

Soft yellow is an attractive, pastel color that perfectly complements any variety of floral landscapes, from tulips to zinnias and roses. Choose a flat sheen for the body of the house and a satin sheen in natural white for the trim and accents. However, to firmly connect the house to the landscaping and make the doorway pop, paint the entry door a color from your flower bed: rose red, for instance.

3. Coventry Blue

Coventry blue is a light, almost sky blue that provides color without looking garish. In a satin sheen, it gives your home a crisp, bright appearance, especially when paired with white trim. You can subtly emphasize the height of a two-story house by painting the gables a slightly darker hue of blue.

The exterior paint colors above are on trend, but they are also classic options that will remain attractive for years to come.
