the siding was put up pre-primed. the background blue gray color is the prime coat. those first two pics show 4 color swatches the painter put on the pre-primed siding this afternoon. there are two tan colors on the left versus the pale yellow and super light gray brown on the right.....these 4 colors DWIED and DIED picked out from those paper samples you can get.
one of these 4 colors will be used to paint all the siding on the walls. all window and door trim, facia etc will be painted white...the roof will be blue.
some of the guys here today said they liked the color of the primer, but with the blue roof i think it'd be HOWDY DOODY....THIS IS A BLUE HOUSE...so we opted for something similar to the original color scheme of the house.
this is as close a pic i could readily find showing the original siding color:
