Certainteed Siding Colors

5 years ago

Hello all,

my my husband and I are wanting to go with a modern farmhouse look. Exterior color a white but not colonial white. We are choosing from CertainTeed Siding or Georgia pacific. I am stuck on options but snow, pearl, and sandstone beige all seem to be within the color reel. Want to get this right to make the look of our house like those in the pictures. We don’t want the house to be “white white” and don’t want the pull of yellows to come through on the siding.

Thanks in in advance for any help. If you have photos of homes with the siding recommendations that would be wonderful.

Do not select colors off a computer screen.

Obtain samples of the colors CertainTeed and Georgia Pacific offer, take them to your site, hold each sample in the vertical position, and determine which one you like the best.

Yes. Samples. Bigger samples than the little chips. Then go do this. And look at it in different lights/times of day.

Jamie - The clapboard siding is Certainteed Monogram 'Spruce' in double 4". The lower half is stone that is in process. We chose Centurion Southern Wheat Ledge. It varies from tan to terra cotta to a deep plum. Our masons are great, but they are also farmers and needed time to get crops in, cut and bale hay, etc. So, our schedule for the exterior is completely skewed. Below are some pics.

Hi Gina. I am currently facing the same decision. We're going with Natural Clay cedar impressions and I'd like a brownish roof color with enough depth for contrast. Curious as to what roof color you finally chose and if you could please post an end result photo. Thank you!

I think they look great together! I just painted my door BM Kensington Blue and it cheers me up when I get home! It used to be a very dull brown! (My trim is Burnt Ember)

Hi, I would say it definitely is more of a cream. I see a more yellow undertone as opposed to gray.

I checked both vendors and I don’t see a color in either brand to meet your goals. If you use a Hardi board product you can paint it the color you want.

Thank you all for the help! We have now ordered larger samples. Will do these and look into the Hardi board. Have you had good luck with it?

Oh yes Hardi plank is great. That is brand name. It is a cement product and has to be installed properly but looks just like siding. I have it on portions of our home and it is like new and 11 years old! Never needed painting just power washing every couple years. It is generically called “cementious” siding. Check it out.

Lauren Pluschke - thanks for sharing your photo - looks great! Why did you decide against Snow, if you dont mind my asking. I'm also trying to decide between Colonial White and Snow but don't have big samples so any insight you have would be appreciated. Also what color did you paint the brick? Thank you!

These are loading in terrible color so maybe this was a bad idea. I drove by three in colonial white and this one in snow. I was told colonial is bright white (which it definitely is, but crisp and clean and not blinding), and snow is more grey undertone. I actually really like it in person and wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the whites honestly. I will update when i get pictures of the other in snow.

Hi any updated photos on houses done in snow?

The thing I noticed about snow when I drove by houses, is that white trim or garage doors will not match. The whites really clashed. I went with colonial white and cannot believe what a perfect beautiful creamy white it is. I expected it to be more crisp and stark and its not. However its not yellow either. Happy to say after struggling between snow and colonial that I am very happy I choose colonial. Hope that helps.
