Cape Cod Cottage Colors
As indicated by its namesake, this architectural style originated with the settlers of Cape Cod in the 17th Century, and is still popular today. It offers a solid design that's built low and boxy to withstand seaside winds. For added protection, the architectural style incorporates a pitched roof that slopes low. For the Cape Cod Cottage style, consider a range of traditional paint colors for your home's exterior. Try Anthem White paint as the main color, La Fonda Trail Green for the shutters and La Fonda Geranium Red as an accent color.
