Where I’d start
Use the edge by the blue-gray shutters as your reference. A cooler fixed color makes the siding’s warmth easier to see.

Start at the edge where the siding meets an existing finish. Then step back and compare the whole facade.

Before you pick a sample
Choosing between shades?
Is Greek Villa too warm beside blue-gray shutters?
The combination can work if you like the warm siding and cool shutters as separate colors. Sample the paint right against one shutter and check both when the side of the house falls into shade.
