he shingles are #1 perfection 18" red cedar with Cabot's bleaching oil stain. The bleached finish on shingles look like a mix between a light grey and light brown color. If you are interested in recreating the look I would recommend sampling Cabot's bleaching oil and various other bleaching oils on some red cedar shingles to create a variety of similar color tones.
The house is sided with Maibec eastern white cedar shingles that have been factory finished with bleaching oil (which has a gray tint). The bleaching oil accelerates the natural weathering of the shingles to an even driftwood gray over 6-12 months. Without the bleaching oil, the weathering of cedar shingles can take a number of years and is typically quite uneven. Visit www.maibec.com/en/colors/bleaching-oil for more information on the product.
