Third option is to go with a dark charcoal siding for a more modern approach. Over time presumably the cedar would age and the colour change/patina would be sure to not clash with the neutrality of the Hardie siding. In fact the contrast might increase as the cedar fades and look really good over time? Have to think about impact of the window frame colour on the overall look and feel.
A much more conservative option would be to go with an earthy green for the Hardie board vertical planking. It would not look as good as the red does with white windows and may require the expense of coloured window frames.
Another example of the rusty red boarding. Looks punchy with white framed windows. The grey green complementary hue to the door is interesting too. Maybe something to keep in mind for the front door colour as an accent to the facade.
Another example of the burnt orange/rust red exterior we are sort of gravitating to in combination with the cedar boarding. Especially if the cedar will weather to a slightly contrasting tone and perhaps a greyish patina with age?
We like this rusty red/burnt orange colour for the facade boards; depending on what tone and colour of the cedar will be. And how it will weather. With white framed windows this could look really punchy but still have a barn/farmhouse sort of feel.
What if we did something like this to extend the roof peak and instead of posts, used braces to support the roof from the facing wall. As in the other images I tagged
Front porch provides overhead shelter and has a nice rustic feel but without the weight of corner posts that are typical of a beam type design. Which feels lighter and more modern. Although in this case the slab roof wouldn’t work; it would shed snow and rain directly onto the steps. But the posts against the house and brace idea supporting a peaked roof might work?

Not referring to the curved roof at all; just the use of braces to create an awning/roof extension beyond the front entry vestibule.
