Remodeling Design Dilemma Exterior

Hunter Green or Imperial Green James Hardie Siding

3 years ago

Hello,

Does anyone have photos of a house with James Hardie siding using Hunter Green, Imperial Green, Evergreen Forest, Oregon Trail, or Forever Green (or any other dark green)? I see a lot of photos with Mountain Sage and Heathered Moss, but we are looking for something darker. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Chris

Unfortunately Houzz's exterior search engine is not working now, because there is a beautiful dark green house there.

It seems that the actual colors available in an area are much more limited than the vast array of colors in their color chart. Have you checked what is available?

My two top colors are Evergreen Forest and Imperial Green. I also like Oregon Trail. Forever Green has a gray brown cast to it and I never saw Hunter Green look like black.

This is pretty, but not the one I'm looking for.

This is Essex Green from Benjamin Moore, but It might have been custom mixed.

I would need to see the style of your house and also any stone or brick that is also part of the house.

pdessena, Yes a Brentwood. I wanted a gray that was away from the blue that seems to proliferate around here. We used the hardi siding and a color that was on the purple side of gray. The (doubled) gables were the builders idea, he uses that as a trademark. It provides a toybox and sitting area in the window. I am happy we spent the extra(abo--anticipated budget overrun) on the siding.

@dcw0405, same… (even older thread now!). Our windows and doors are sierra pacific black sable, which have a navy cast to them. I was looking at the new magnolia collection stone beach but was told the magnolia colors cost 30% more! Would love to see pics of pearl gray lap siding with dark windows.

Would love to hear from anyone who used a white from the Hardie “dream collection”…I’m renovating a colonial and want a true white. The arctic white is very popular where I live and it definitely appears gray, especially next to white Azek trim and it’s not the e look I’m going for.

Thank you. This is a picture below. I would change the trim and gutters to white.

Did you find a color that worked for your home? We are having the same issues right now and are between Forever Green and Climbing Vine - would love if you could share any pictures that you found!

We too are considering these shades of green in the james hardie siding. We are restoring an 1890 house that is green now, we would like it to remain green but are looking at what shade might be best. I ordered samples from james hardie but its very difficult to tell with the small samples. We will return the front facade to farmhouse style as a 1930 reno was a craftman remodel of bay window. Also i am interested in colours for roofing and trim tho i think white trim looks best. Any photos or comments are welcome,
