We haven't yet but are pretty sure we are going to use it on our house that is under construction. It's a bungalow and will have a lighter gray stone skirt. We got a sample from a local building supply store. Our builder didn't have the iron gray in his sample box. There are a few photos of houses with it on the Hardie web site. I don't really like it with all the light trim they show though. We will have a black roof (architectural shingles), gray soffits etc., white window frames, black shutters. Right now the front door is white but we might paint it red. We were looking for a dark / charcoal gray and the only other one we found was a premium vinyl, which we were told was more expensive than the hardie.

@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.

Thank you groveraxle, these are really helfpul! Do you think it looks weird with only some shutters? I do but that's because it is just different to me. JudyG, I LOVE the white. Husband hates it. It's the one color he says absolutely not to. :( Not sure if it's worth pushing him on it. I will show him the pictures, because I think white looks the best. PPF - No I do not want trendy, I want something that will stand the test of time. I had not considered getting primed siding and painting it ourselves mostly because I think that would add significant cost and I think the pre-painted colors are supposed to hold up better. But it would certainly be easier to find a color I like.

Depending on lighting they seem to change color so much. In some lighting the Cobblestone looks off-white, in other lighting more of a tan. Arctic White can look like an off-white/light gray and sometimes bright white. If these are the only 2 choices, I think I'd make the decision based on what time(s) of day you're likely to be looking at your house from outside. :-) Without knowing the architectural style of your house, or where you're located, it can be challenging to make any recommendations... Would you consider a color, maybe, instead of a neutral?
