Neutral Colors
Those looking to add color but make a subtler statement should opt for neutral tones when it comes to selecting patio furniture colors. Neutrals create an atmosphere of calmness while complementing the natural hues found outside their homes’ exteriors.
Warm tans, browns and earth tones create the ideal setting for front porches. Their cozy atmosphere makes for easy relaxation or hosting guests; and these colors work with a wide range of decor styles such as country, coastal and modern designs.
Soft shades of pink create an intimate and romantic atmosphere, making a statement with just a splash of color. Pink accent pieces may add the perfect feminine touch, while larger decorating schemes could incorporate its use as well. If pink feels intimidating for your front porch decor scheme, start small by using it on one or two chairs only as an accent piece.
Neutral grays are an elegant option for front porches. Easily utilized on single-toned sofas or as an accent color on two-tone pieces of furniture, neutral grays pair well with other colors such as red and blue hues for an appealing aesthetic.

Gray is another classic neutral hue. Easily combined with any hue and can complement the wood tones on any porch or deck, gray makes an excellent addition.
Light blue hues can also help create an inviting ambience on your front porch. They coordinate well with garden flowers and pair beautifully with both traditional and contemporary patio furniture styles.
