What contrast levels work best with cedar shake and vinyl siding?

Aim for a thirty to forty percent body-to-trim contrast when painting cedar shake next to vinyl siding. This contrast level keeps the facade visually interesting without overpowering the beige or cream undertones of vinyl. A deep teal or vine green body paired with cream trim achieves this balance. Ensuring the body color does not blend with surrounding landscape enhances curb appeal, especially in areas with muted natural light like the Pacific Northwest.
