Can't help without a photo or three.

1" square samples are not going to work, you need to paint the house with the samples to get an actual color read. samplize is peel and stick so that is another option https://samplize.com/

Shutters FYI. Impossible to judge w out pics. I tried picking out paint for our last place, none of the paint samples ended being anything at all like what I had envisioned in the store. Colours vary from place to place. Do you have the product names? Maybe they picked the wrong materials.

We were building from the ground up, there wasn’t any way to see the big picture. This is what we had to choose from, a thing hanging on the wall

Sorry all, I attempted to upload a photo with my initial post but it didn’t come through. I have attached it in a separate comment

Three different siding materials and three different colors? That sounds needlessly busy to me. I would have reduced it to one or at most two materials. But I am not sure you can still do that at this point.

It’s actually a home design that was already created - it’s in a subdivision so we could only choose from 3 styles, and this was the ‘face’ we liked the most. It was extremely difficult choosing colors that we liked and “thought” would look good from tiny little swatches. Of course in my mind these colors looked splendid together and in reality they suck :(

none of the greens from the board look like your house?

First, you will probably like it better as time goes on and you get used to it. Part of the problem, regardless of the green or gray or whatever, is the 3 surfaces you have now - green siding, tan planks and stone garage surround. Is there any way you can swap out/paint the tan at this late date? And your choice of front door and garage door surface and paint will be critical. You should photoshop the possibilities, because you risk yet more colors and surfaces otherwise. I think my first guess would be to try to meld the stone with the color of the garage door. I know colors don't translate well to the computer screen, but I do like the green siding.

I actually really like that green. cat_ky has a good suggestion with the tan being the off factor. Paint it green. The black shutters look better to me than brown would. Something else to consider...don't have a white garage door. The garage is half of the lower part of your house, and it would be a big wall of white getting too much focus.

A lesson learned....never ever let someone tell you to choose colors from a 1-inch swatch.

If you can have the tan eliminated-even if you have to pay to do so-that would look much better. Choose a beautiful front door color and it will look great. Your builder should have known better that to give you two siding color options.

I think the green is beautiful, but as others have said, I'd paint out the shakes to the same color green. With the stone, and different styles of siding, you have enough going on without another color. I would have the white upright pieces painted the same color as the siding and the white pieces at the edge of the stone painted a color close to the stone to hide them (same with downspouts, if that's what some of them are. What color will the door be?

I think the dark shutters look better with the green than brown would have looked. It's a pretty house, just needs some tweaking!

eta: if it's not too late, I'd have them beef up the porch supports, making them look more substantial, then paint them either the trim color or the color of the siding, or even the color of the shutters.

Thank you for your input. So when all is said and done, the garage door will be white like the trim and the (future) columns in the front, and the front door is supposed to be painted to match the shutters - we didn’t have a choice in those. And unfortunately all 3 options had 3 different colors/materials to pick, I guess it’s what is popular in this area. I think it is the tan that is throwing everything off and I will probably be able to paint it - I think it’s past the “change order” phase at this point.

The colours may grow on you. The door could be green, mustard or brown to tie in the other house colours.

So, if the garage door has to be white, could you at least have windows across the top?

I hope we've helped with the green. It truly is one of the nicer greens I've seen on an exterior. In this case you lucked out with that tiny swatch!

This is easily salvageable. The issue is the shakes on the center break up the front of the house and visually create 3 separate sections where there shouldn't be. Preferably I would remove the shakes from that section and carry the horizontal siding across the entire front. This would eliminate the white trim work they installed which further divides the visual line. However I imagine at this point your builder will not do that. So paint the white trim strips and the shakes in the second story the same grayed green (assuming you like the grayed green? ) and then I think the tan shakes on the third story color can be done in a more complimentary color that is closer to the darker gray in your stone. This will be more subtle. More of a warm Greige color. You front door can be painted that same color.I assume your porch posts will be white like your trim is.

Were you forced to choose a different color/material for that middle section and the left side of the gable? Are the other houses in the neighborhood color-blocked like this too?

It makes the house look like 3 townhouses instead of one house. I would try to replace the beige siding with the green. Go in to the building office and throw a fit if you must! Not an angry fit, but a despair fit .... they might feel sorry for you and do what you want! Worth a try! ;-)
