Matching trim, not roof
Gutter sits at the trim line, touching fascia and soffit. Matching it to the trim makes the whole eave read as one clean band. Matching it to the roof usually leaves an odd stripe between the shingles and the trim.
The exception is a home with very dark trim and a very light roof, where a mid-tone can do more work than either.
What people actually pick here
White is far and away the most common, because most St. Louis trim is white. Musket brown and royal brown run second on brick homes with dark trim. Almond and wicker suit tan and beige siding. Black has been rising fast on new builds and modern renovations.
Copper-tone is a finish, not copper. It reads warm from the street and costs like aluminum.
Downspouts don't have to match
A downspout running down a brick wall often looks better matched to the brick than to the gutter. It's a small decision that makes the vertical disappear.
We'll show you both on the measure.
Fascia wrap in the same color
If we're wrapping fascia, it comes off the same coil stock in the same color, so the gutter and the board behind it are one continuous line rather than two near-matches.
Near-matches look worse than deliberate contrast.
Questions people ask
How many gutter colors do you offer?
Over twenty in stock baked-enamel coil, plus special-order options.
Should gutters match the roof or the trim?
Trim, on almost every home. It makes the eave line read as one piece.
Will the color fade?
Baked-enamel coil holds up well. The chalky gray look on old gutters comes from earlier finishes, not current ones.
Can downspouts be a different color than the gutters?
Yes, and on brick homes it often looks better that way.
