We are in the process of changing render colour, I desperately need some help from you as we are too scare to choose the wrong colour again!!! Here are our existing colours: Externals Roof - Black Terracotta (shingle profile roof tiles) Gutters - Dulux Mountain Blue Fascia - Dulux Mountain Blue Downpipes - Dulux Miller Mood Posts - White Birch Masonry Walls - Dulux Miller Mood Windows - White Birch Doors - White Birch Garage Door - Mountain Blue We originally wanted the walls in a grey colour with a slight touch of blue in it, but ended up really light blue! Can you please suggest or give us your expert opinion of an alternative nutral colour, as we are thinking of repainting the rendered walls only and not changing any thing else. Re: Change of render colour - please HELP! 2Mar 26, 2010 6:41 am How about below - Dulux Wild Dove?

My house is a double storey house and it's fully rendered. I'm just thinking wether Wild Dove is too dark for it? I will post you a photo of my house when I get home. (I'm at work now! ) Re: Change of render colour - please HELP! 5Mar 26, 2010 11:50 am You have to remember when it's in the light it won't be that dark. I read somewhere when choosing exterior render colours to go 2 shades darker, the sunlight sucks the colour out.

Use the whole pot and make sure you get 2 coats on so you see the true colour. Get another photo for me after you have done that. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 3622 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 1033 Been in a similar position and we decided to let the builder go. Some of the PSA money goes to engineering so we at least got those documents and they actually refunded us… 2 4551 |
