Color on the walls

The final set of options we had to choose were the exterior colors for the Hardieplank siding and the shingles, and the type of stone veneer we wanted. But this was more difficult than most of the interior selections. How can somebody imagine what the house would look like, just by looking at small pieces of wood or a small sample of stone? Adding to the visualization complexity was having to process in our head, multiple combination of allowed colors for each sample of stone and this made finalizing a combination even more difficult. 
So on the first meeting, we spent a lot of time trying out different option of colors next to the stone. One of the main issues was that since we have an elevation which has siding and shingles, there needs to be two colors. So, somehow we chose a set of colors and stone, after we spent an hour and half trying to figure out a combination. In the process, Rhea got frustrated and started taking samples away, thinking we were playing some game, moving samples in and out! After all that effort, our final choices at the end of the meeting seemed to make sense.
But after leaving the place, we decided to drive around in a couple of communities of Ryan Homes to see if we could spot if somebody already had made the combination we had chosen. Well, that drive didn't turn out too good, as we were surprised how the stone veneer we had chosen, actually looked on existing houses. It was not the sort of look, we were aiming for. 
Lekshmi then mailed the Sales Rep and had her send across photos of different stone veneers in existing houses, so we had a better visualization of how each stone sample actually looked. It was another difficult process of selection.
The second time around was faster, since we had narrowed down to one stone veneer, and we just had a couple of color options for the hard.
... And so here are the final color choices

All of the colors together including the garage door color(Natural Almond), the hardieplank siding color (Light Mist), the shingle color (Cobblestone), the door color (Marooned) and the stone veneer (English)
