Exterior- doubting my color choices..

9 years ago

Looking for your thoughts on the exterior of our new construction. Below is the colors we picked but now that its installed I am wondering if the shake siding in the peaks is way too light. Before I make any rash decisions I want to see it with the stone on the front to see if it pulls it together.

What are your thoughts? Will this stone bring it all together or did I go way to light in the peaks?

It's not the lightness. It's the orangeness compared to the brown. Needs to have less yellow in the color.

I don't see that color on the peaks on your sample board. Is it the little sample on the fan? On the house, it looks a little yellow on my monitor, but it doesn't look bad and it could just be the lighting. I think you're smart to put the stone on before possibly changing the peaks. I like it! Pretty house!

The little sample looks beige and seems to go with the stone, but the house photo makes it look Mustard, which doesn't look so good.

In real life does the peak look mustard? Sometimes, photos change the light and then adding them here may distort them further. I know both happen to me all of the time.

The beige sample color is perfect, the color in your picture looks orange and like a completely different color. Which is closer to the true color?
