When it comes to transforming the exterior of your home, choosing the right paint color is a crucial decision. Blue-gray hues, with their timeless appeal, strike the perfect balance between sophistication and tranquility. As experts in the world of design, Rowan Hall Interiors is delighted to present our top blue-gray paint colors for exteriors, meticulously curated by our professional paint color consultant.
Sherwin Williams Granite Peak (SW 6250): Deep Blue Elegance
Blend deep blue with slate gray, and you get the mesmerizing Granite Peak. Ideal for exteriors, this color reads as a dark blue rather than a gray, making it a sophisticated choice for those seeking understated elegance. Granite Peak is adjacent to a subdued navy, and the balance of gray prevents a home’s exterior from looking cartoonishly saturated. Its rich blue undertones shine in natural light, striking the perfect balance between depth and subtlety.

Sherwin Williams Outerspace (SW 6251): Rich and Steely
The darker sister of Granite Peak, Outerspace is a rich blue infused with slate gray. Providing a deeper, steelier alternative, this hue exudes a bold and modern charm. A statement color that commands attention, this is a choice for those ready to embrace a darker, more dramatic palette.

Depending on the topography, direction of the sun, and infinite other factors, this color may vary when painted on an exterior. It may appear as more of a rich gray with subtle blue undertones, or it may have a more vibrant quality. This is why it’s so important to consult the experts when selecting a paint color.

Sherwin Williams Gray’s Harbor (SW 6236): Cool Lake Vibes
A slate gray with a cool blue undertone, Grays Harbor invites thoughts of the depths of a cool lake rather than a stormy ocean. With a touch more green in its undertone, it stands out as a complex gray-blue option. Grays Harbor is perfect for those desiring a hue that dances gracefully between cool sophistication and natural allure.
