What Color Should I Paint My Cupola?

When selecting the perfect cupola for your home, there are several details to consider, including size, style, material and custom accents. One factor that can get overlooked is picking out a cupola paint color. While many customers choose traditional white cupolas, there is a rainbow of possibilities to choose from. Our cupolas are built from PVC vinyl and Western Red Cedar, both of which can easily be painted to match any color scheme. 

How to Choose a Cupola Paint Color

When picking a color scheme, it’s a good idea to acquaint yourself with the color wheel. This tool will help you avoid choosing colors that clash or simply don’t blend. An easy way to keep things simple is to stick to two colors on your home’s exterior: one main color for siding, and one for trim. If your siding is dark, choose a lighter color for your trim, and vice versa. If your siding is a medium tone, a darker trim will give a more modern look while a lighter trim is more traditional. With this approach, you would paint the body of your cupola to match the siding and paint the base and/or accents to match the trim.

Cupola Paint Color Example

Picture
This elegant custom 30” Bethany Cupola gracefully adorns a 20’ carport. Our customer painted the cupola to match the warm, neutral tones of their home’s siding and stonework, and then detailed the trim in a rich, dark green that highlights the window below. This is an example of a triad color scheme because green, brown, and blue (the undertone in the shingles) are evenly spaced around the color wheel. By choosing two darker tones and one brighter tone, the homeowner was able to evoke a traditional, rich look.

Here’s an excellent example of matching your cupola to your home. We created this custom cupola for a customer from the architect renderings they provided. By painting the cupola to match the building and adding shingles, the customer created a seamless design. Not only is the cupola a perfect fit for their custom layout, it looks like an original piece of the building.

You can also choose paint colors that highlight a specific design scheme of your building. For this commercial project, the customer chose cupolas with grey bases and roofs and white vents. The strip of white on the cupolas provides the perfect contrast to the strip of grey below, creating a unique, eye-catching design with only two simple colors.

For an extra pop of color, our Sundance cupolas feature cellular PVC vinyl and a metal roof and base. The metal is available in 25 beautiful colors that complement any color scheme. Whether your style is traditional or modern, we have the color to match.
