Hello! We are a windows and siding company, and have FANTASTIC siding. We use James Hardie siding and with our ColorPlus Technology siding the color palette depends on the region you are in. I have attached the website for James Hardie Siding and our website! Feel free to give us a call! http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner/colorplus-palette.shtml http://www.wonderfulwindowsandsiding.com/ As for a color scheme for the house though- I would go lighter! That will really make a change and will bring out all of the details in your home! -Wonderful Windows and Siding

Are there some traditional colors in the area where this is being built? Right now the U.S. Is pretty beige/tan/greyish. And what style of landscaping do you plan?

Hello Chandni, Do you have a 3D view of the plan to use the wood. The suggestion on real wood material on external facade would depend on the likley placement. You may consider High Pressure Laminate sheets as well. They are durable, decorative, water and fire resistant. Thanks, Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.
