Seamless Gutter Colors

Guttering systems on houses are designed to pull rain away from the roof and foundation and protect your home from water damage. Seamless guttering has fewer seams than the alternative -- seamed only at the corners and downspouts -- making the gutters more leak resistant and visually appealing. Seamless guttering is the most popular guttering system in the U.S.; such systems must be installed by a professional contractor. Seamless gutters come in a wide variety of colors.
  1. Neutrals

    • Neutral-colored gutters are a common choice and include tans, beiges, creams, eggshells and other off-white or light brown colors; sand and clay are also popular color choices. Neutrals can become dingy from dirt over time and will need to be cleaned occasionally to preserve your home's appearance.

    Darks

    • Dark colors are popular for gutters because they make a sharp contrast to light-colored siding and because they do not show dirt easily. Dark gutter choices include black, charcoal, chocolate brown, forest green, dark red and navy. Dark gutters will still need to be cleaned occasionally to prevent buildup from weighting down the gutters.

    Lights

    • Light gutters include white and gray colors; like neutral-colored options, light colors will show dirt easily and will need to be cleaned to prevent dinginess. Seamless guttering can be made of different materials -- including vinyl and aluminum -- which can be easily cleaned with a mixture of bleach and water.

    Colors

    • Colored gutters make an attractive addition to homes that have metal roofs or siding that is a similar shade, such as green gutters with light green siding. These gutters are often color-matched to blend in with the roof's color. The most common colored gutter choices include green, red, blue, gray and brown.

    Customs

    • Custom gutter choices are those colors that aren't premanufactured or standard; these may include particular shades such as lime green or lavender. Custom-colored gutters are often designed to match a home's siding, or they may be gutters that have been custom-tinted to match older gutters or metal roofs that aren't in standard shades.
