Share this article Share this article Add to favourites Add to favourites

Windows are more than just functional features—they are the design elements that shape your home's exterior personality. These aesthetic anchors can make or break the overall visual harmony of your abode. The right window painting colour combinations can add elegance, accentuate architectural details, and even create an illusion of space. 

 

From classic neutrals to bold modern hues, a thoughtfully chosen window colour combination for your house can elevate your curb appeal and tie your home’s exterior look together. Whether your style leans towards muted pastels or vibrant primary colours, Birla Opus Paints has the tools and expertise to make your vision a reality.

 

 

Why Colour Combinations for Windows Matter in Exterior Design

 

Windows are more than just an opening to the outside world—they act as the eyes of your home. Their colour can blend with the rest of your exterior palette for a seamless look or stand out as accents that draw attention.

 

A thoughtfully chosen colour combination for windows can:

 

 

1. Highlight the architectural features of your home.

 

2. Create a distinction between the walls and trims.

 

3. Enhance natural lighting by using colours that reflect or absorb light.

 

When selecting a wall and window colour combination, consider your home’s architectural style, the surrounding environment, and your personal preferences. Remember, for timeless elegance, subtlety often speaks louder than dramatic contrasts.

 

 

10 Stunning Colour Combinations for Exterior Windows

 

Let us explore thoughtfully selected window colour combinations that blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior palette.

 

 

1. Ivory White Frames with Charcoal Grey Walls

 

A classic pairing that never goes out of style, ivory white and charcoal grey exude timeless appeal. The ivory white frames convey a sense of purity and openness, while the charcoal grey walls lend an air of grace and authority. 

 

This combination is perfect for modern minimalist homes, offering a crisp and clean aesthetic. Incorporate narrow black window grills to further accentuate the contrast while maintaining a contemporary edge.

 

Pro Tip: Window frames in shades like River Rapids (WW 0001) or Tip of the Iceberg (WW 0003) blend beautifully with home walls in hues of Churlish Summer (NN 9075) or Heaved Sigh (NN 9068).

 

 

2. Forest Green Windows with Off-White Walls

 

 

 

This pairing draws inspiration from nature, combining the rich, grounded energy of forest green frames with the understated warmth of off-white walls. Forest green windows help your home blend effortlessly into lush, green surroundings while off-white walls maintain an airy, neutral tone. 

 

Green symbolises growth, renewal, and tranquillity. When paired with off-white’s sense of purity, it creates a look that feels fresh and inviting.

 

Pro Tip: Walls bathed in shades like Taj in the Moonlight (WW 0037) or Jasmine (WW0029) complement window frames in Deep Forest Green (GG 7063) or Emerald Jewels (GG 7803), creating a serene atmosphere for your home.

 

 

3. Classic Black Frames with Cream-Coloured Walls

 

 

 

Sleek and stylish, black frames paired with cream-coloured walls create a dramatic yet refined contrast. This window colour combination works beautifully for traditional or contemporary homes and draws attention to the architectural details of your home.

 

The cream walls provide a neutral canvas that softens the intensity of the black frames, ensuring the overall look remains refined. Pair this palette with moveable window panels and dividers painted in the same black tone for an ultra-modern or transitional aesthetic.

 

Pro Tip: Black hues like Blackbird Singing (NN 9583) contrast wonderfully with Homemade Cream (YY 1041) or Canary Creams (YY 1033) from our colour catalogue to make this stylish combination.

 

4. Slate Blue Frames with Light Grey Walls

 

A palette that exudes coastal charm, slate blue windows combined with light grey walls evoke tranquillity and charm. This is a subtle and calming combination that feels understated yet distinct, making it ideal for homes in serene neighbourhoods or coastal settings.

 

Add white trims around your windows for an ocean-inspired look, and opt for frosted glass to maintain privacy.

 

Pro Tip: Window frames in our shades like Slate Blue or Clean Uniforms create a beautiful blend with walls painted in Dove Grey (NN 9227) or Feather Light (NN 9577).

 

5. Terracotta Frames with Olive Green Walls

 

For a warm, Mediterranean-inspired design, terracotta frames paired with olive green walls create a rustic yet luxurious exterior. This wall and window colour combination pays homage to earthy tones that bring a sense of grounding and rejuvenation to your home. 

 

Pro Tip: Window frames in terracotta shades like Baked Terracotta (NN 9180) or Clay Pottery (YY 1133) pair beautifully with walls painted in Olive Green (YG 8124) or Sunlit Moss (GG 7111).

 

 

6. Deep Burgundy Frames With Cream Walls

 

 

 

Deep burgundy frames paired with cream walls exude a regal charm for your home’s exteriors. Burgundy, a deep red hue, symbolises passion, refinement, and opulence. Cream tones add a sense of peace that allows the boldness of burgundy to shine. 

 

Pro Tip: Frames in deep burgundy shades like Dull Maroon (RR 3125) or Lipstick Tree (RR 3022) stand out elegantly against Golden Cream (YY 1048) or Faded Dream (YY 1049), adding a spark to your exteriors.

 

 

7. Golden Ochre Windows with Midnight Blue Walls

 

Striking and artistic, golden ochre frames against midnight blue walls make a bold yet harmonious statement. This house window colour combination works best for modern or avant-garde homes, adding a dynamic vibrancy to the exterior. This palette of depth and radiance is perfect for homeowners who value creativity and want their property to exude an eye-catching appeal. 

 

The deep, velvety tones of midnight blue create a canvas that allows the warm glow of golden ochre to stand out, making the windows a statement feature. Enhance the ochre frames with intricate lattice grills or arched trims painted in a muted brass or antique gold finish, echoing the opulence of classic European facades.

 

Pro Tip: Windows in our ochre hues like Golden Ochre (YY 1103) or Copper Tones (YY 1078) complement walls painted in Midnight Sky (BB 5063) or Dusky Indigo (BB 5018), offering a regal colour palette for your home.

 

8. Soft Pink Frames with Sandy Beige Walls

 

Romantic and welcoming, soft pink frames combined with sandy beige walls create a charming aesthetic. This pairing works wonderfully for cottages or country homes, adding a touch of personality while maintaining neutrality.

 

Pro Tip: Soft pink frames in our hues like Pink Opal (RR 3009) or Preloved (RR 3024) create a dreamy aesthetic when paired with walls painted in Sandy Beach (NN 9138) or Steamed Apricot (YR 2011), perfect for inviting exteriors.

 

9. Muted Lavender Windows with Pale Grey Walls

 

Lavender represents innovation, calmness, and luxury, while grey is neutral and grounding. When merged, this window colour combination creates a tranquil yet unique palette. Subtle yet distinct, muted lavender windows with pale grey walls lend a refined panache to modern homes. 

 

The pairing feels soft and sophisticated, ideal for urban settings or homes with a contemporary twist. Choose frosted glass panes and pair the windows with black grills for a striking look.

 

Pro Tip: Muted lavender windows in the shades of Soft Lavender (PP 4144) or Silvery Lavender (PP 4137) bring an air of calm when matched with the cool, quiet tones of Grey Swarm (WW 0156) or Gris Afternoon (NN 9573) walls.

 

 

10. Steel Grey Frames with Bright White Walls

Elevating minimalism to an art form, steel grey frames combined with bright white walls create a contemporary exterior with a sleek look. This palette works exceptionally well for homes with large glass windows or sharp architectural lines.

 

This combination isn’t just about simplicity—it’s about precision and contrast. Steel grey frames add depth without overwhelming the exterior, while bright white walls act as an illuminating canvas that reflects light beautifully. Pair these colours with our Imagine Machine to visualise how this striking duo will look on your exterior.

 

Pro Tip: Frames painted in steel grey shades, such as A Morning Person (NN 9025) or Patchouli Tinged (NN 9066), add a contemporary touch that complements the stark beauty of walls in hues like A Gulp of Clouds (WW 0010) or Murmura (WW 0011).

 

Frame the View: Transform Your Exterior Windows

 

Your home’s windows deserve as much attention as its walls. By choosing the right colour combination for windows, you can achieve a cohesive exterior design that reflects your personality while enhancing curb appeal. 

 

Whether it’s the timeless elegance of cream and black or the bold artistry of ochre and blue, you can explore endless possibilities using tools like our Colour Quiz and expert guidance from our PaintCraft consultation service.
