Thanks everyone. olychick, your too funny! thanks for the laugh. it's as if you can read my mind. can we say crazy?lol snookums, I was thinking that too. In fact she did pick a slightly darker green. I just wanted something different yet blended. She has a huge A-frame house and mine is old weird add ons different looking house. So at least it wont be like twins sort of thing. cyn427, There's lots of trees and a couple of acres that separate our houses, It's really hard to see her house when the trees have leaves, it just I'll know, and she'll know. And so will our mutual friends. lol She's a sweetheart, so I doubt she'll be upset (to my face). ugh! the real problem is me. I wanna be different...waaah. I've been living in this old run down house for 19yrs and finally have the opportunity to make it look great, and she did what I've been dreaming of doing. She and her family have been friendly neighbors since we moved here. I'm talking best neighbors you could dream of neighbors. They're quiet, keep to themselves, let us use their land etc. They used to buy my kids presents for holidays when they were little. you know awesome old people. lol. I'm going with the lighter gray green. She can have the cypress. It really looks great on her house. :) or maybe that cape cod looking blue thats all the rage.lol :) Laura

Well, the shutters on the bow window have to go, and I think I'd remove the other ones too. It is just too busy with boxes above the brick . Look for a color that works with your brick and roof colors if you're not changing them. The right gray might do it but it will be tricky to get the warm/cool balanced with both brick and roof. Take your time and sample with large poster boards painted with your color choices. Move them around in different light and weather to see how they work with brick and roof tones.

Hi there! I am looking for a vinyl siding color... either a medium tone tan/beige or greige that has a *slightly* green undertone. The original bricks on the house highlight some green and brown/tan tones, but the thought of green siding really scares me. I am hoping to find something that has somewhat of a green undertone but not “whoa that’s green” kind of feel. Thoughts? Different companies to look at? The “green” options from Alside aren’t hitting the spot.

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.
