Everything above is right. The thing that finally killed the analysis paralysis for my clients was seeing the actual house in each scheme instead of imagining it from chips.
These days I shoot the front elevation on my phone and run a few palettes through an AI exterior visualizer so the homeowner can see their own facade in three or four options side by side.

Pick the two that survive that test, then order physical samples for those only.
