Assuming the midnight is dark blue and the graphite is dark gray. Either would work with the brown roof and white trim. I think the dark gray is more neutral for other accent colors whether it be door and garage door colors or the colors of the flowers and foliage in the landscaping. Depending on the colors in your landscape, and whether they are in the cool family (blues, whites, greens with more blue than yellow, purples with more blue than red and silvery foliage) or warm tones (reds, oranges, purples (with more red than blue) that would be the main thing to determine other accent colors, if all your flowers are in the cool family, it would not look right to have a chartruese or yellow front door and garage door, but you could go with a cyan or light turquois, and if all your flowers are are in the warm color family you would not want a Robin's egg blue for your front door.

Do the windows, transom and slider have double-pane insulated glass to keep the chill out? Do the full lite doors offer shades for privacy? I think cedar siding with the black trim will be beautiful. Is it real cedar or high quality looks-like-cedar siding? Does the manufacturer guarantee against fading?

I ordered shades in the slider, both front & back entry doors.

The midnight is black. The Diamond Kote is a LP Smart siding, 8” lap, wood texture… I’m really looking for something smoother, narrower, a product called Veratex (PVC) just found me as I was searching Facebook & there is a metal product called Tru Cedar or longboard, but I guess it is expensive. Just found an estimate of $2 -$6 per square foot (Jan.2021). I guess that I need to get those sections measured.

I did spend $25 to have Diamond Kote to do a rendering of the front of the house. Checking my email regularly to see if they sent it. I tried this (free) with Ply Gem vinyl & was not impressed… It is really all about getting the color scheme right & the vinyl just doesn’t seem to capture the look. I found these for inspiration recently.

Our builder just finished installing DiamondKote siding on our new build. It looks horrible. We are very disappointed in the product especially given the cost. There are several areas that need touch up painting either from nail holes or just scratches due to nicks from handling the boards while installing. The touch up paint provided has a flat finish to it so it doesn’t match. It’s very obvious where we have done touch up painting. Apparently handling the material during the installation process requires white gloves or you’re left with a mess.
