Despite the name, clay siding is not red. In vinyl, "clay" means a soft warm taupe or greige, the color of dry pale clay, and each brand has its own version. Below are the four main clay siding colors compared, how they differ from terracotta, what goes with them, and a tool to try each one on a photo of your own house.
Clay siding colors by brand
Four different colors that share the word clay.
1
CertainTeed Natural Clay
A warm light gray-taupe, a soft greige. Sold in several CertainTeed lines, such as Monogram and Restoration Classic. Not the same as the stone product with the same name.
2
Mastic Pebblestone Clay
A muted taupe-beige with a warm undertone, a little more tan than Natural Clay.
3
Alside Tuscan Clay
A khaki taupe. Alside notes it hides dirt well.
4
Gentek Canyon Clay
A muted warm beige-tan with a soft gray cast. Alside also has a Canyon Clay, which is a different color.
5
Clay vs terracotta
Terracotta is a red-orange. If that is what you want, you will usually find it in fiber cement or paint, not in standard vinyl clay colors. Try the terracotta look in the tool to see the difference.
What goes with clay siding
Clay is a warm neutral, so it is easy to pair.
1
Trim
Off-white or cream trim keeps it soft. Black window frames and accents make it modern.
2
Front door
A red door is the classic pairing. Navy or deep green also work.
3
Roof
Brown, weathered wood or a brown metal roof suit clay. Charcoal works for more contrast.
4
Two-tone
Clay with a sand or muted brown accent and off-white trim is a common two-tone scheme.
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 clay color you like 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.
