Here are the colors included:

The overall idea is that you can mix and match siding directions on your house without using a different color (unless you want to use more than one color, of course), which is a very easy way to add exterior interest. In any case, the vertical and horizontal textures were created from scratch by me. The diagonal texture is a slightly edited version of Maxis's diagonal, because I like it well enough and because trying to get my own texture to tile properly and look nice on the diagonal proved...frustrating.
Here are some in-game pics of some of the colors, so that you can see each version. There are a few more attached below:


And here is a sample house, so that you can see an example of how these look together on a house. The color used is Summit Sunrise, and the front of this house is facing away from the light, so you can see what that color looks like on "dark" walls:

As always, I hope that you will find these useful in your own building projects!
