The Hardie website really does help give a sense of the colour in different colour conditions but you still need to see it in person I think, especially the deep ocean... the pictures Blender posted earlier are IMO the best representation (third one in the below)
Ocean
Sage
Part of the problem is that everyone seems to use white accents and windows and I'm using black so it's a different vibe and different outcome. I don't know why everyone wants their house to look like they live in New England. |
Silly question, but is it intentional that the roof in both pics are intentionally the same colors as the siding? Would you actually go with a green roof with Mountain Sage or light blue/blackish roof for Ocean Blue? In the third Ocean blue pic, there's very little colors other than the dirt in the area vs the other pics have much more vegetation. If that's your concern for saturation (especially with dark trim vs white) I could see that, especially early after the build before you get some landscaping in and it's all that dirt or if your outdoor accessories (ie: Car, BBQ, firepit etc.) are also darker tones vs contrasting tones.
Also, will regular visitors be the type to appreciate art/architecture in that they will look at those colors regularly vs out into nature/internal of the home? (ie: You) Art color POV, Ocean blue would in theory sway emotions between tranquility/freedom and cold vs Sage Green between growth/hope and envy? I could see why you have concerns it's saturated/too dark. If there's not enough contrast in landscape color and regular sunlight (grey skies), there is a chance the blue could end up giving a sense of cold sadness and depression.

I hope I'm not reading into it wrong, but it almost sounds like you're thinking that if the blue is really good, it'll be really good, but if it's bad, it'll be really bad. Sage so far sounds less likely to have those extremes. With dark trim, I totally get that and I could see that I'd have concerns about that too. However, I like thinking longer term. For me, I feel like I could address the Ocean blue with landscaping and foliage, which I'd want to do anyways. For green, I wouldn't feel as pressing of a need to do that, but then I'd have concern that the green could fade into a color I dislike (ie: an off olive color) that would require addressing in a manner that the blue would not. Either way, if it were me, I don't fully feel like either color would be a select and forget type of situation.
