How do light conditions influence vinyl and cedar shake color choices?

Light conditions greatly influence color perception on vinyl and cedar shake. Cloudy, diffused light, common in temperate climates, mutes colors, so saturated tones like warm teal or vine green stand out better. Cream trims brighten shadowed areas and provide balance. Testing colors under different lighting during the day reveals true undertones and contrast, preventing dull or washed-out appearances. This ensures your exterior color complements your home's environment consistently.
