There is no single best siding color, but the same few colors come up again and again on installer and brand lists. Below are ten of them with the brand names to ask for, how to pick the right one for your roof, brick and street, and a tool to try each one on a photo of your own house.

3
Greens
James Hardie Mountain Sage and the vinyl sage greens. Soft and natural.
4

How to choose the best color for your house
Check these before you pick.
1
Your roof
The roof stays, so start there. Black or charcoal roofs suit almost anything; brown roofs suit warm colors best.
2
Brick or stone
Pull a color from the brick or stone: gray, beige or white with red brick, warm tones with tan stone.
3
Your street
Look at the houses around you, and check HOA rules before you order.
4
Sun and climate
Light colors fade less in strong sun. Dark vinyl needs heat-resistant lines.
5
Resale
Whites, grays and soft neutrals are the usual picks if you plan to sell soon.
Before you order
A picture helps you choose a direction. These checks help you choose the actual siding.
1
Get a real sample and look at it outside
Siding looks lighter in full sun and darker in shade, and a small chip looks darker than a whole wall. Hold a sample against your house at different times of day before you order.
2
Colour names are brand-specific
A Clay or a Sage from one brand is not the same colour as one with the same name from another brand. Always say the brand, the product line and the colour name together.
3
Lines carry different colours
Within one brand, each siding line (for example a budget line and a premium line) has its own colour list. A colour you like may only exist in one line.
4
Dark vinyl needs the right product
Dark vinyl colours absorb more heat. Most brands make their deep colours in heat-resistant lines; ask your installer before choosing a very dark shade.
5
Check HOA rules
Many homeowner associations approve exterior colours. Ask before you order, and bring the picture with you.
Get a local quote
Save your before and after picture and take it to two or three local siding installers when you ask for quotes. Tell each one the brand, the line and the colour name you want.
Ask each installer to bring a sample of the color you pick and to confirm it is stocked in your area. A picture of your own house makes it easy for them to see what you mean.
Honest limits
The tool draws an approximation of each colour from a description of its tone. It is not the manufacturer's swatch, and the siding profile is a general lap, shake or board-and-batten look, not a specific product.
It is a preview, not a quote or a survey. It does not measure your walls or give prices.
Trim, shutters and the roof are kept as photographed. If you plan to change them too, use the house painter or roof tools afterwards.
