Is there anyone that can help me make choices on siding colors etc.

For any suggestions you need to post pictures of your house.

without photos it's difficult to recommend any siding colors or configurations.

A coastal style can be a saltbox style, a single story cottage, etc.

Board & Batten doesn't look great on every style of home.

" colors of siding that reflect where I live. " where do you live?

Really ???? We need to see the house to even begin to help. Post pics here in a comment.
