2026 Exterior Colour Trends in Siding, Trim, and Design
As homeowners enter 2026, exterior colour trends are shifting toward richer, more confident palettes that reflect a growing desire for personalization, curb appeal, and long-term value.
Colour Matching Made Simple
Achieving a cohesive colour scheme for your home is essential for good design, as it creates a harmonious and visually appealing exterior. When all the colours- from the siding and trim to the front door and shutters- are thoughtfully coordinated, they enhance the overall aesthetic and showcase the architectural features of your home. A well-matched colour palette not only elevates curb appeal but also conveys a sense of unity and sophistication, making your home stand out in the neighborhood.
No need to settle for siding & trim that "almost match." Our Colour Clear Through® collection of customer-preferred colours ensures that all Gentek products - siding, soffit, fascia, trim and rainware - will beautifully match throughout our vinyl, aluminum and steel product lines.
Want to paint other areas of your home to match your Gentek products? We've got you covered with the Gentek Paint Match Program! In partnership with Dulux paints, there is a match for all Gentek's siding, & window colours, ensuring a cohesive & stunning look for your home.
