Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Jul 09, 2012 9:25 am I have a 1960's colonial style house that we are renovating. The roof is peaked roof and is currently a brownish tiled colour and we are looking to render and paint the outside, we are also adding a flat roofed garage. I need some help with garage colours. We are thinking: Gutters, fascia and downpipes: Jasper colorbond Exterior rendered walls: Buff It Half Windows: Will be a white So my questions are: (1) Do we go with a Jasper garage door - or is that going to be too 'brown'? (2) Would an Evening Haze of Dune colour work? If we use this, do should I make the fascia this colour so that it is incorporated into the overall colour scheme? I also like the colour look of 'The Amari' in Perth if anyone happens to know the external colour scheme. Any help is appreciated. Re: Exterior colour advice - building renovation 2Jul 10, 2012 6:45 pm I can't really recommend colours because my own taste is a bit wilder than yours (I'm into strong colours) but would just like to make a comment. Why do so many houses paint downpipes as if it's a feature? Gutters - yes - it kind of frames a house - but downpipes? When we painted our downpipes the same colour as the walls, letting them fade into the background, it was just so much better looking.
