Top Reasons to Choose Green Siding

Did you know that the color green is one of the most peaceful, balanced, and serene shades on the color wheel — making it extremely popular in home design? 

In this post, we’ll examine the psychology behind the color green and share some natural, earthy green shades from the Magnolia Home | James Hardie Collection that you can use to add this peaceful serenity to your home’s exterior.

Psychology & Meaning of the Color Green

Green is a cool color that falls near the middle of the visible spectrum, making it one of the most attractive, restful, and easy colors for the human eye. 

Green is often viewed as a “bridge” between primary and secondary colors and cool and warm colors. Because of its versatility, green is seen as a balanced color, which is why people associate feelings of peace, serenity, health, stability, and safety with green. 

Nature is also associated with shades of green, so the color invokes feelings of growth and harmony. In general, lighter greens encourage feelings of change, refreshment, and energy, while darker greens have a more serious tone and can be seen as soothing yet intense.

How Is Green Used in Home Design?

Green is a versatile color used in almost all types of home design and architecture. However, the shade you choose will impact the feeling and overall “vibe” set by your green exterior.

Light Green

Light green, and especially bright colors, like Lime, are a better match for modern or contemporary homes. Soft green shades, like Mint, convey a sense of peacefulness and stability but can still add a touch of playfulness to any space.

Dark Green

Deeper, jewel-toned greens, like Emerald, tend to be associated with traditional, historic-style homes. However, dark greens with a brownish undertone, like Moss or Olive, tend to give off an earthy, organic, natural vibe that’s becoming increasingly trendy.
