Normal spring color?

Hello. So my juniper mid winter started losing the vibrant green. I figure it was just normal due to cold temps. I keep it outside or when it dropped below 20 I’d typically bring it into an unheated garage. I haven’t had this one through a winter yet so perhaps it’s just how this one handles cold? My other junipers didn’t seem to lose much color so I’m wondering is this normal looking?

It is still regularly only in the 50s here, maybe a day or two of 60-70 but drops back down so maybe it’s just normal for the season?

Thanks for any opinions

Oh, the foliage doesn’t feel like bone dry and crispy as a dead branch feels but I haven’t been handling the branches in fear of them being fragile

It looks like the wrong kind of color, but I hope I'm wrong. In two weeks it should be evident; if the color doesn't return it's on its way out.
 
The color will not return. This tree is dead sorry.

Most likely died because of soil issue. Cold won’t do that to a juniper. dead roots dried out or soggy will.
 
Just me, but I have never and will never take a juniper inside. I think that kills more than it saves.

I only brought it in unheated garage maybe three times for a couple days each time when it was -0 Fahrenheit
