Paint Exterior Design Dilemma

Need help on exterior paint or stain color

3 years ago

We recently replaced and stained/painted our decking and railing from back of house to lake. The railing is painted in Sherwin Williams Iron Ore.
Does anyone have advice on house siding color (which is cedar siding). What doesn’t show in house pick is separate photo of stone that is on house exterior to left of deck and also on part of front and side of house.

I'd go with cream. But you could do a sagey green.

I'd choose the Iron Ore, you have a nice wooded setting, the Iron Ore would rally stand out.

I agree with Lyn Nielson that dark siding in a wooded setting is striking.
