The Oyster Shell color is not very bold compared to the white trim.

I agree the French gray is too much and I don’t know if I love sand either based on that picture. I have seen that same picture with Oyster shell labeled as the Clay color, and it seems so gray in the picture compared to the sample I have so I’d like to see other pictures with them besides just the ones on the website.

I do like the seal color but we are looking for something lighter for our house.

We installed LP Smartside Diamond Kote in "Cream" color about 10 yrs ago. This thread has comments and pics showing an issue we've had with chips on the corner trim pieces and siding:

Thank you, that is helpful!

They do have an option to order custom color. We are doing that for our house.

I know, but it would require a much longer lead time putting our house further behind schedule and is more expensive. Just looking for options to see if one of the color options will work for the look we want. Thank you!

What did you decide to use? We are considering the Oyster Shell lap siding and shakes. The color looks so different on each side of our house. On the south side it is very light and seems more a trim color. On the north side, depending on the time of day and cloud cover, it looks darker and really pretty.

We decided not to use Diamond Kote because we didn’t love any of the standard colors enough with the brick we will have and lead times we’re too long for custom. Just decided to go with Hardie and just paint it

Hows the Hardie holding up/ paint fade?

Why do you ask? Your only other comment here is promoting a different product as being the best.

Why are you being paranoid? 😂 its literally just a question stemming from curiosity?
