Painting a Grey Gradient Outdoor Wall

Megan Aubrey
by Megan Aubrey
I decided that my vinyl siding wall in my sun room needed to be painted. However, there was a plethora of colorful DIY projects taking center stage, so I wanted to make sure the wall didn't over power the other projects. The solution was painting a gradient wall in greys. The result is beautiful and interesting but not over the top.
The final grey gradient wall. Neutral but still beautiful and interesting!
I picked a trio of grey paints for the gradient wall.
I needed to first prime the wall since an oil paint had originally been painted over the vinyl.
The first coat of greys.
The second coat of greys - much darker and richer.
The final look with furniture!
It's subtle but beautiful!
I love the beautiful backdrop this painted wall creates for the DIY projects in the room!

    This looks great! You kept the colors close enough that you could see the difference without having it scream at you. I just wish they sold siding in a wider range of colors so it could be done with siding without creating a maintenance project. Great look!

      @Julie Bruno Thank you so much! I agree on the siding. The previous owners made everything in the house, including the siding, a creamy beige color...not my cup of tea!
