Before and after examples

Example images are AI-generated: both the sample houses and their redesigns. Results change from render to render, so treat them as concepts, not exact product matches.

AI-drawn generic stand-in of a two-story house with cream engineered wood lap siding, white trim, a gray roof and a wood front door — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): cream siding became a muted sage green, as asked. The orange front door, the white trim and the roof look the same.

The same house with muted sage green lap siding; the white trim, gray roof and orange door kept — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): cream siding became a muted sage green, as asked. The orange front door, the white trim and the roof look the same.

AI-drawn generic stand-in of a modern house with white engineered wood lap siding, white trim, a flat roof and a gray door — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): white siding became a golden sand beige, with black fascia and trim, as asked. The flat roof looks the same. The sand reads more golden than the neutral stone we wanted.

The same modern house with golden sand siding and black trim; the flat roof kept — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): white siding became a golden sand beige, with black fascia and trim, as asked.

AI-drawn generic stand-in of a two-story house with tan engineered wood lap siding, white trim, a brown roof and a wood front door — Example 3 (prompt 3 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): tan siding became a deep slate blue-gray, as asked. The brown roof, the wood door and the white trim look the same.

The same house with deep slate blue-gray lap siding; the white trim, brown roof and wood door kept — Example 3 (prompt 3 below; the before is an AI-drawn generic stand-in house, not a real photo): tan siding became a deep slate blue-gray, as asked. The brown roof, the wood door and the white trim look the same.

What the AI can and cannot do

It can recolor the siding in your photo while usually keeping the shape of the house, so you can compare colors before you order samples.

It cannot show a real ExpertFinish color, check which color is stocked near you or follow every instruction exactly. In our examples the model drew its own version of each color. Check the whole image and name what must stay the same.

How to choose an LP SmartSide color

The points below come from LP's own color pages (the maker), Amerhart (a distributor) and Woodworking Network (a trade site). The maker and the distributor sell the product. Sources were read on 24 October 2026. Some of them sell siding or lead homeowners to local pros, so treat the color advice as sales-adjacent.

Question	What the sources say
What is it?	Engineered wood made from strands, resin, wax and zinc borate; not solid wood and not fiber cement (Amerhart).
ExpertFinish or Primed?	ExpertFinish is factory prefinished. Primed boards are painted any color on site (LP).
Core palette	16 colors: Snowscape White, Sand Dunes, Desert Stone, Quarry Gray, Prairie Clay, Terra Brown, Harvest Honey, Timberland Suede, Garden Sage, Redwood Red, Tundra Gray, Summit Blue, Rapids Blue, Cavern Steel, Midnight Shadow and Abyss Black (LP).
Naturals Collection	Adds six more: Washed White, Smoky Slate, Saffron Cedar, Weathered Walnut, Aged Amber and Bonsai Black (LP, Woodworking Network).

Color of the year	LP lists Sand Dunes as its 2026 color of the year.

Three LP SmartSide-style colors to try

Muted garden sage green. Example 1 turns cream siding sage and leaves the orange door alone.
Warm sandy stone with black trim. Example 2 turns white siding golden sand with black fascia and trim, on a flat-roofed home.
Deep slate blue-gray. Example 3 turns tan siding deep slate blue and keeps the brown roof, wood door and white trim.

How to try a siding color on your house

The examples were run directly on an image model, not through the tool above, so your results will look different.

Photograph the front in daylight, straight on, with the whole house in the frame.
Upload it in the tool at the top of this page, or open the exterior designer, and choose a style.
Name the color and what must stay the same, like the prompts below.
Compare two or three colors and note which parts moved.

The exact prompts behind the examples

These are the edit prompts used for the three examples, word for word. Swap in the color and the list of what stays.

Prompt 1: muted garden sage green

Change ONLY the color of the lap siding: repaint it a muted garden sage green. Keep the white trim, the gray roof, the wood front door, the driveway and the lawn exactly the same, and keep the camera angle.

Prompt 2: warm sandy stone beige with black trim

Change ONLY the color of the lap siding: repaint it a warm sandy stone beige and make the trim black. Keep the flat roof, the gray front door, the windows, the driveway and the lawn exactly the same, and keep the camera angle.

Prompt 3: deep slate blue-gray

Change ONLY the color of the lap siding: repaint it a deep slate blue-gray. Keep the white trim, the brown roof, the wood front door, the driveway and the lawn exactly the same, and keep the camera angle.

Before you order siding

Order a real ExpertFinish sample, or paint a primed-board sample, and look at it outdoors.
Ask whether you want ExpertFinish or primed boards before you pick a color.
Check which colors are stocked near you.
Check your HOA or town for color rules.

Who this is for

Homeowners planning engineered wood siding who want to see a color on their own house before ordering samples or paying a contractor.

Frequently asked questions

Is LP SmartSide wood or fiber cement?

Neither exactly. Amerhart describes it as engineered wood made of strands, resin, wax and zinc borate.

Primed or ExpertFinish: which is better?

They suit different jobs. ExpertFinish is factory prefinished. Primed boards are painted on site in any color, per LP. We do not rate them; ask your installer about upkeep.

What are the LP SmartSide ExpertFinish color names?

LP lists 16 core colors, from Snowscape White to Abyss Black, plus six Naturals Collection colors. Check LP for the current list.

What trim goes with Quarry Gray?

LP suggests black, off-white or dark gray trim with gray siding and advises against beige trim. See the exact pairings on LP's pages.

Can I see a LP SmartSide color on my own house first?

Yes. Upload a photo of your house in the tool at the top of this page and name the color to try. A render is a guide only; test real samples outdoors on all sides of the house.

Will the render match a real LP SmartSide color?

No, not exactly. In our examples the model drew its own idea of each color. Use the render to narrow your choices, then compare real color samples.

Is this tool free?

Signing up is free and gives you 5 credits, which is enough for 2 renders in most countries. Free renders carry an AiExterior watermark. If you want more renders or clean images, paid plans are available on the pricing page.

Do I need an account?

Yes. You need to sign in before a render starts, with an email code or your Google account.
