Hi, we have finally decided on Colorbond Jasper for our roof, and most likely black aluminium window frames for our double storey house. We will have timber-look steel garage doors possibly in a cedar colour. But we are at a loss as to the render colour. All the brickwork will be rendered. I'm thinking something in a latte shade, but not too light.
Can anyone suggest colours that will harmonize with Jasper? Are the black window frames a mistake? If so, what would you suggest? What colour should the gutter and fascia be?

If you have something similar, please feel free to attach photos.

Many thanks,
Clueless and Colourless!

Sorry, I'm getting in on all your unanswered posts.

Have you got onto the colourbond site. It has loads of colour combo ideas and you can play around changing the colours of houses but the following link shows a house with jasper roof, black windows. What do you think of that render colour?? I think it might be nicer a little darker but this is ok.

Good luck.

Thanks for that, rocketship. I spent a whole morning playing on the visualiser, and my only complaint is that they only allow you to choose one brand of paint colour. However, I think I have narrowed down the render colour and I'm sure a good paint supplier would be able to recommend other colours that are similar.

PS Does anyone have jasper coloured aluminium windows, and if so, would you be able to show pictures of them please.
Many thanks.

We have Jasper windows and sliding doors. Really happy with this choice. The front windows are timber to match front door and garage door.
We have a Dune colourbond roof and Jasper gutters and facias. Jasper was a colour that went well with our bricks. There are some photos on my thread but the colour sometimes looks a little like a grey in them.
