Exterior Color Study: Zeus & Paris White
Expertly curated palette for Pacific Northwest Residences
Siding
Color: SW 2085 Zeus
A commanding, mid-to-dark tone neutral that provides excellent coverage and hides dust—ideal for wooded lots in Sammamish and Woodinville.
Trim
Color: SW 2088 Paris White
A sophisticated off-white that avoids the starkness of pure white, providing a soft but clean contrast against the darker siding.
Shingles/Accents
Product: Semi-solid SuperDeck
Color: Cedar
The natural warmth of Cedar-toned deck stain balances the cool earthy tones of the paint, grounding the home's architecture.
Expert Commentary: Light and Substrate
When applying SW 2085 Zeus in the Pacific Northwest, we pay close attention to the substrate preparation. For darker tones like Zeus, we recommend upgrading to Sherwin-Williams® Emerald Exterior. This ensures the color stays true and resists the fading often caused by the intense UV exposure on south-facing walls during our summer months.
The addition of Semi-solid SuperDeck in Cedar on shingles or decks adds a much-needed organic element that softens the transition from the home to the surrounding PNW landscape.
