    Use cedar stain if you want a nice, clean look. Cedar stain or a paint that is close in color to cedar stain are great options when trying to match a paint color to cedar siding. Be selective when matching colors if you are trying to match paint color to an existing cedar siding, as the weather may have caused the siding to fade over time. If you are dealing with new cedar siding, purchasing your paint and siding from the same place will help you get as close a match as possible.

    On the Other: Contrast Can Look Great

    Use an alternate color, like brown or green, if you want to have a paint color on your home that will contrast with cedar siding. Cedar siding is usually reddish in color, so earthy greens are best if you want to avoid the look of Christmas red and green. Other browns or reds also match well with cedar siding.

    Bottom Line

    Use software like that found at home improvement stores to compare different colors of paint to one another and see what would look best with cedar siding. Ask the clerk at the store for recommendations. The beauty of cedar siding is that it goes with just about any paint color for your home. It is up to you to decide how dramatic or streamlined you want your home's new look to be.
