Exterior Colors… Many Options

Remember what I said about picking a siding color from the James Hardie color palette?

Well…Never Mind!

It turns out that the plan all along has been to put up primed siding and paint the exterior after the siding, and trim are installed. This means that the whole Sherwin Williams exterior paint color palette is now in play (1269 colors). Deb and I played around with the Color Visualizer on the Sherwin Williams website last night. We both liked Cloak Grey with white trim (Deb insists she wants a red door…). I colored Mike Kloti’s front elevation view and included it below. The sketch also includes Landmark Plus dimensional shingles (in Moire Black) from Certain Teed.

*Update*… “James” from the James Hardie Company points out (below) that there is a nice color selector tool available on the new James Hardie Facebook page (here). It’s a nice tool and kind of fun!

What a great tool! We also have a "Find My ColorPlus Technology Color" quiz that helps you see which color is right for your personality. Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/mybhg#/JamesHardieBP?v=box_3&ref=mf and thanks for the mention!
