1. Cypress

If you like the color of green but want to shy away from its eye-twitching bright shade, then cypress’ green dark tone is a must-try.

Its muted green shade is perfect for a minimalist yet elegant look. It is among the usual options for folks who prefer tones that lean toward a natural aesthetic.

It is also preferred in areas that value natural colors such as in the countryside and other communities that are surrounded by trees, woods, or fields.

In fact, if you noticed, houses located in the Northern sections of the US typically has vinyl sidings in the color of cypress.

Cypress’ muted green also complements well with various colors.


2. Cedar

If you want to embrace a cabin aesthetic, vinyl siding in the color of cedar is a great choice.

Cedar’s stain is warm in the eyes and gives a nice deep tone when hit by the sun’s light.

It works perfectly with cool shades for accent as well. 


3. Light Maple

If you are fond of light but not too pale type of color, I highly recommend vinyl siding in light maple.

Its rich tone which resembles the translucent color of a maple tree’s heartwood makes a great backdrop for houses with strong, vibrant color accents.

Essentially, it can be used as a base color in parts like the door and shutter along with richer shades.


4. Coastal Blue

Just like Cypress, vinyl siding in coastal blue is a slightly darker but vibrant tone.

The shade evokes feelings of peace and serenity, which beaches naturally provide.

While it is commonly used in houses located in coastal areas, its calming tone compliments well in an environment that is rich in natural colors such as the countryside.


5. Flagstone

For a neutral tone that is not cream or tan, flagstone’s deep gray would be a great choice.

Such a vinyl siding color is highly recommended for a modern and minimalistic aesthetic.

Its rich color complements well with its neighboring shades like white and black.

Although it works well with deep red and blue.


6. Hale Navy

From Benjamin Moore’s collection, Hale Navy is a rich blue color with gray undertones.

Its muted blue tone gives off the classic navy trend. It will surely make your house stand out without overwhelming the eyes.  

Moreover, Hale Navy complements bright white—as shown in the photo above—and other light shades as accents.


7. Barnyard Accent

8. Marigold

Vinyl sidings in marigolds are perfect for folks who are into bright yet warm types of shades.

Its soft and subtle, yellowish tone is ideal for when you want your house to be noticeable but not too strong and striking.
