Answer
In the Pacific Northwest's gray, overcast climate, paint cedar shake in saturated hues like warm teal or vine green. These jewel tones brighten cloudy days and contrast nicely with beige or cream vinyl siding. Pair with cream trim to complement soft undertones and avoid losing the house in the landscape. Testing samples under natural PNW light ensures the color maintains vibrancy year-round and holds up against moisture from wet seasons.
