Need help selecting exterior colors for new house

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

We are building a new home and are having trouble deciding on siding. We've picked out the brick (antiqued), stone that will go along the front porch, and roof color (Pewter from Certainteed). At first I wanted taupe siding, but its just too brown. I like grey, but want a warm grey. That led me to Scottish Thistle, but I had not envisioned a green, grey which is what this appears to be. It would be good to get your thoughts on whether this color would work or if there or other siding colors in warm gray that may work well?

Note: The trim will be cream (Cameo by Mastic), the windows either black or driftwood from brickmould, and the shutters black.

Can you clarify where the brick and stone will be? From the elevation photo, it appears that the house will be brick with stone accents (no siding)? Is the siding only on the rear of the house?

Hi CLC, the siding will only be on the side and back of the house, correct. The front is brick with a little stone along the front porch. Thank you in advance!

I think the scottish thistle would be a nice choice. You have a warm brick and a cool stone, but the green works with both of them imo. A warm gray would work, too.....you will just want to find a shade that works well with the brick and won't be too monotone with the roof.

Thank you for the reassurance on the Thistle, helpful!! If you happen to know of other warm grays. Our contractor shared only Mastic colors and I believe its due to quality. But we are open to other brands, we just are not sure of quality for others.
