Top Exterior Paint Colors for Southwest Florida Homes in 2025
A fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look and feel of your home — and in Southwest Florida, where vibrant sunsets and tropical greenery define the landscape, the right exterior color can make your home shine. From pastel-toned beach houses in Naples to Mediterranean-style stuccos in Fort Myers or family homes in Cape Coral’s growing neighborhoods, exterior painting enhances every architectural style.
It’s more than just visual appeal. A newly painted exterior gives your home a fresh, well-maintained feel, increasing its value and making it more inviting — especially if you’re considering selling in today’s competitive Gulf Coast market. Plus, in a region known for sun, salt, and humidity, the right paint provides essential protection against weather damage.
