If you have a tan house and do opt to paint your shutters a neutral color, Housekeeping Bay recommends choosing a color that is at least several shades darker than your house's shade of tan. In this case, dark browns and blacks tend to work well.

Black shutters are a shutter color that is perfect for creating contrast on a tan house. Black shutters will make your tan house pop and stand out from the rest. This shutter color is perfect for a more modern home or any home that wants to make a bold statement. Black shutters can also be a great way to add some drama to a more traditional home.
