How Vinyl Siding + 2025 Color Forecasts Can Transform Your Curb Appeal

Vinyl siding continues to be a top choice for homeowners — and for good reasons. It’s low maintenance, durable, and comes in a broad range of colors that elevate any home’s style. But in 2025, color isn’t just about preference — it’s about personality.
That’s why the Ply Gem Portfolio goes beyond timeless neutrals and bringing trend insights to the forefront, blending long-lasting vinyl siding performance with trending color palettes, based on the Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Colormix® Forecast.

A Fresh Take on Exterior Color

Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Colormix® Forecast introduces four distinct palettes — or “Capsules” — designed to inspire and reflect what homeowners crave today: authenticity, calm, joy and connection.
Here’s how homeowners can achieve each of these capsules on their exterior with popular vinyl siding colors from Ply Gem— helping match long-lasting products with today’s most inspired color directions.

1. Chrysalis — Soft Earthy Neutrals

A return to nature and simplicity, Chrysalis is filled with grounding tones like warm beiges, taupes and clays. Think Sherwin Williams colors Grounded, Thunderous, and Studio Clay — all tones that evoke stillness and peace.

Try It With:

• Mastic: Almond
• Variform: Heritage Linen
• Ply Gem Performance Collection: Autumn Tan

Ideal For: Traditional homes, Craftsman styles, or anywhere you’re craving a warm, neutral palette with natural harmony.

2. Wellspring — Serene Blues & Botanical Greens

This palette taps into timeless blues and lush greens, embracing reflection and restoration. Sherwin Williams shades like Outerspace, Gallery Green, and Quietude bring calm energy to exteriors.

Try It With:

• Mastic: Quiet Willow
• Variform: Bayou
• Ply Gem Performance Collection: Spruce Blue

Ideal For: Coastal homes, modern farmhouse looks, or nature-inspired design that blends seamlessly into landscaping.

3. Paradox — Bold & Playful Contrast

Paradox celebrates surprises with unexpected pairings of bright accents and grounded bases. Think Chartreuse, Carnelian, and Upward paired with structured gray or warm taupe.

Try It With:

• Mastic: Pebblestone Clay
• Variform: Flint
• Ply Gem Performance Collection: Stone Gray

Accent With: Dark shutters, bold-colored doors, or a contrasting trim for visual punch.

4. Kindred — Cozy Neutrals with Bold Accents

Kindred connects warmth with personality. It embraces familiar shades — like Warm Stone, Oyster White, and French Roast — but encourages bold pairings.

Try It With:

• Mastic: Brandy Wood (SolarDefense™)
• Variform: Rich Mocha
• Ply Gem Performance Collection: Wicker

Great For: Ranch homes updated with traditional exteriors, or designs that blend soft structure with contemporary flair.

Deep Color That Lasts: Mastic® SolarDefense™

A number of these capsules can also be achieved with trending dark colors. To get that bold look without the risk of warping or fading, Mastic® SolarDefense™ Reflective Technology is engineered to handle the intensity of sun and heat — protecting your color investment long term.

Top Dark Color Picks:

• Brandy Wood
• Natural Slate
• Newport Bay

Pair these with Sherwin-Williams’ darker tones like Sealskin, French Roast, or Iron Ore for a look that’s bold, modern, and built to last.
