My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    C.I.L.is a brand. However, I suggest that you go to your local big box store and collect as many grey shade swatches as possible...at least 3 of each. Tape them together to make a larger swatch. put each color up against the area you want to paint and observe them under different light conditions, sun and cloud...then chose the one that most appeals to you.

      A similar color to try is Storm Cloud 6249 by Sherwin Williams.

      I just started my reno with the existing garage. I replaced the white aluminum siding with cedar shingles. Had a tough time chosing color... I wanted a contemporary grey with white trim ...finally decided on C.I.L. solid stain "Grimmey's Grey"00NN 20/000 * A. (It looks very much like this) ... It was very creamy, easy to apply, great coverage and looks FANTASTIC!!

      I too am curious to know siding and trim colors. I recently purchased a 20 year old house with grey decking, bronze windows and cedar soffits. Current siding color is dreary - I would love to update the exterior colour to something very similar to this.
