The best exterior paint color for cedar shake and vinyl siding balances undertones and contrast. In regions with cloudy light like the Pacific Northwest, deep teal or vine green makes a great body color. Pairing that with cream trim complements beige vinyl siding, enhancing curb appeal without clashing. This approach creates a cohesive look that survives wet seasons. To finish, consider adding an accent door color for personality while keeping the palette to two or three colors.
