When it comes to painting your gutters, the safest option is usually to match the color of the gutter to the color of your siding. This will help them blend in seamlessly with your home. However, if you can't find an exact color match or you want something more interesting, you can also opt for a color that matches your molding or ceiling. Darker colors like black tend to look better for longer.
When it comes to installation, gutters are usually placed in front of the lining, so they're less likely to be noticed if they're a similar color. But if you can't find an exact match or you want something more eye-catching, you can choose a color that matches your molding or fascia. This is especially true if you have brick or stone cladding, as it's almost impossible to find a gutter color that perfectly matches it. When installing new gutters, it's important to make sure they match the substrate they're attached to.
If you choose gutters with a white primer, you'll need to paint them so they blend in with the exterior color scheme. If you're not buying copper gutters, displaying them is usually not a good idea. They may stand out against the roof or siding and clash with existing colors. Once the new colored gutters have been installed, both will fit together perfectly, but you'll need to paint underneath the new gutters.
Seamless gutters with gutter protection are generally the best choice for their functionality, but the color options may be less obvious.
