Selecting Colors for Your Metal Building

Once the structural blueprint of your metal building is mapped out, the next exciting phase is to finesse its aesthetic appeal and functional harmony. While we've touched on the functional facets like incorporating gutters and downspouts in previous discussions, let's now delve into the color dynamics that can significantly impact both the visual and practical aspects of your metal building.

Selecting a harmonious color palette from our diverse color chart will define the color scheme for your roof, walls, and trim. Options like Colonial Trim and Dutch trim corners further enrich the design, adding a touch of elegance and distinctiveness.

Our patrons at National Custom Builders often hinge their color choices on one of three fundamental color coordination principles:

1. Monochromatic Scheme: This scheme employs variations in shade or tint of a single hue, creating a cohesive and sophisticated look.

2. Complementary Scheme: Utilizing colors positioned opposite each other on a color wheel, this scheme offers a vibrant and energizing aesthetic.

3. Analogous Scheme: By choosing colors adjacent to each other on a color wheel, an analogous scheme exudes a serene and harmonious vibe.

For those with a penchant for a classic appeal, the Colonial style is a delightful choice available exclusively for vertical side buildings. This style features a contrasting band along the bottom, akin to wainscoting, typically showcasing a dark lower color complemented by a lighter shade above. It's an elegant solution for regions where the building might encounter splashes of mud or gravel dust.

Considerations for Color Selection:

1. Thermal Efficiency: Light colors are adept at reflecting sunlight, aiding in maintaining a cooler interior during warm seasons.

2. Timeless Appeal: Given the enduring nature of steel buildings, opting for a timeless color rather than a trendy one ensures your building remains aesthetically pleasing over the decades.

3. Local Regulations: It's prudent to ascertain any color restrictions imposed by Homeowner Associations or local municipalities to ensure compliance.

In Conclusion:

Color selection is a pivotal step in the journey of personalizing your metal building. It not only dictates the visual allure but also plays a role in the building's thermal efficiency and compliance with local guidelines.
