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.

Was not suggesting you clad the brick at all -- just paint it, which is relatively cheap. My other suggestion was to eliminate one of the siding choices on the front (Thereby saving some $). In so much as I can see the right colors better on my monitor and it appears that you like blue, my opinion was that w/the absence of the yellow brick you the darker of the blues would work w/the stone. My comment about the timber ark was related to the question you asked of me earlier when on my iPad it looked as though you had posted brown (timberbark), white, and gray -- thus illustrating the point I attempted to make earlier about the distortion of color in this medium. Again, good luck.

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 like the one that @Beverly likes. Not to be snarky, but contractors aren't always the best people to choose colors for you. But if the product rep says a color looks purple when installed, THAT I would pay attention to.
