rain gutters what color to get???

last modified: 11 years ago

We are adding seamless rain gutters to our house. Some people tell me to match the color of the roof (spanish tile terra-cotta color) Others are saying match the house color a pinky sand color) We don't have trim. The whole house is stuccoed in the pinky sand color. The garage and windows are white. I don't think I want to draw attention to the rain gutters? Any suggestions? Also I plan to paint the house in a few more years. This picture is a few years old.

I prefer for it to blend in with the house.

I'd just go white to match the windows and garage.

W Brown thanks for the photos. That was a big help!!! The Avila Valley Estate is close to the color of my house. And the tile gives me an idea of what it could look like. I think matching the roof or house color will be my best bet.

If your doors and windows were dark (instead of white) I'd also say match the wall color. Notice in the photos the dark window trim and doors. Just keep that in mind.

Good point! I had not noticed the doors and windows. They do match the rain gutters. I can paint the garage door. The windows are white vinyl I am not sure if they can be painted? I'll call lowe's and ask them. thanks!

Match it with the house color, less noticeable.

Yes, I think the best idea is to paint the garage and window trim too.
