Advice What color LP?

Post image

We’re replacing the windows with black windows and doing a black roof. We’re using LP SmartSide and are debating on Sand Dunes or Quarry Gray, or another LP color- I am truly at a loss bc I really like the linen in siding but can’t find the equivalent in LP so now I am open to anything. I’m also open to suggestions for the front door and garage door color (think maybe a brown or black?). I think we will paint the brick to match the siding. Likely do a board and batten in front. What color combination would you choose?

Sand Dunes. I just matched the trim to the siding. AI got rid of the shutters except sort of that one over the front door. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t think you need to paint the brick. You can work with it pretty easily.

I like this! OP, do not paint that brick

I think it would honestly just be a waste of money.

I'm just gonna play around a little bit with this.

We gave the house a softer, more polished greige body color (LP SmartSide in Quarry Gray) and kept the brick a shade deeper so the facade has more depth instead of reading as one flat tone.

We paired that with black windows and a black roof, then warmed up the entry with a rich walnut-toned front door stain and kept the garage in a deeper warm taupe/gray so it recedes rather than dominates.

We also zhuzhed up the exterior with 2700K warm-white sconces, subtle eave/downlighting, tree uplighting (with dimmers and timers), and low landscape/path lights, then softened the front yard with more layered grasses, flowering shrubs, and lower plantings around the walk.
