Exterior painting

We are remodeling an older farm home, a wrap around porch, cedar beams, brick and native limestone to match the exsisting fireplace. We are using the concrete board for the siding, we rather like the look of the primed green color!! We are looking at SW paint colors, has anyone tried to match this color before?

    Can you take a sample piece of concrete board in and just have them do a computer color match?

    It always makes me laugh when people like the color of a project they're not supposed to, like the primer? Have the dealer match it, but DON'T expect it to look like what you're seeing now. It will be different, mostly because of the change in sheen, and the type of coat.
