Choosing the right colors for your pole barn isn’t just about looks—it’s about how the building fits your property. From Utah’s desert valleys to Idaho’s green farmland and Wyoming’s wide-open ranges, the right color combo can blend with the landscape or make a bold statement.
Whether you’re going bold or keeping things subtle, here are two pole barn color combos we’re seeing (and building) right now:
Arctic White + Black
Clean, sharp, and always a favorite. Arctic White walls paired with Black trim and roofing give off a bold, modern feel while still being timeless. It’s a simple combo that makes a big impact and nails that classic-meets-modern vibe that a lot of people are after right now.
If you’re looking for a high-contrast color option that works with just about any custom pole barn design, this one’s tough to beat.
Taupe + Burnished Slate
For something a little more low-key and earthy, Taupe and Burnished Slate are a winning combo. Taupe brings a soft, neutral warmth, while Burnished Slate adds a darker contrast that keeps things grounded and gives the whole look a clean, intentional finish.
It’s a great pick if you’re going for a more natural, blended look while still keeping your pole barn aesthetic fresh and updated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are lighter or darker barn colors easier to maintain across Utah, Idaho & Wyoming weather?
Light colors help with heat reflection in summer; dark trim or accent colors can hide wear. The key is in the finish and warranty — metal panels with long paint warranties help no matter the color.
