Jen Van_Dam I wrote to the builder who stained the house asking for the colors. This is what their reply was.
Thanks for your interest in the Shingle house shown on Houzz.
The exterior siding color is hard to reproduce. It was done with Cabot Semi-Transparent Stains, on cedar shingle siding. Some of the color is from the wood itself, showing through the stain. You don't get the full effect in a photo on a computer screen, of course. My recollection is that it was a custom blend of two colors. Probably Pepperwood and Beechwood.
Cabot does have sample cans, so you can do testing on scraps of wood and see what you like. We would not recommend doing a color blend, as it is hard to replicate, and to do patching. As your house is already painted, you would want to use one of their Solid products. They have a number of subtle, soft and woody colors. You should be able to find one that you like.
susanaldridge2000 Still no answer to the brown trim stain on garage and banisters and front door- and no answer on the brown paint on the windows- looked and looked for all answers on this site. But since the wood doors are "sustainable mahogany," the window paint may be matched up to the mahogany color on doors.

Same house. I just noticed th brackets on the top of the columns, it might be nice to add that to the columns on our house to give some additional detail.
