In the not-too-distant past, across the United States and indeed in the Colorado Springs area, builders populated new developments with a particular style of stucco house that teetered brilliantly on a line between Mediterranean and American Southwest. 

This home and its subtle architectural variations grew in popularity as buyers snapped them up, responding to their undeniable curb appeal. 

Most of these homes were initially placed on the market painted in shades of terra cotta, which made sense for their style. 

Colorado Springs Homeowners Seek Change with New Exterior Paint Colors

However, after living in these homes for a decade or more, homeowners may still be in love with where they live, but are nevertheless craving a little something new. 

Sometimes it’s because they want to distinguish their home from similar homes surrounding it, but others are taking an opportunity to make a color change when they see flaking, fading or dirt that begs for a fresh coat of exterior paint. 

These homeowners are recognizing that terra cotta and other sunset hues are not the only shades that make sense for stucco. At the same time, they are noticing exterior paint colors trending more toward the cool end of the color spectrum.

Stucco: Thinking Outside the Terra Cotta Box

Stucco is evocative of earthy elements like stone and clay, which exist in a wide array of shades in the natural world. So, if you’re willing to step outside the boundaries of traditional orange-like shades for your stucco home in Colorado Springs and embrace other natural hues, your home could be a real show-stopper. 

Here’s a recent exterior paint job we did in Colorado Springs that’s a perfect example of how a stucco home can be elevated by a cooler, lighter shade that you might find on a sun-baked upper layer of earth in a clearing, or in a lakeside pebble. 

Look at the “before and after” pictures in this video. It’s undeniable that the “after” shade brings a undefinable elegance to the home, without straying from the earthy colors that stucco seems made for.
