New house colour is wrong!!

Page 1 of 1
Would love some advice please!
We engaged colour consultant, took time to get samples and paint on the walls etc. but now the colour is going on the house, it looks completely different.
House was originally salmon coloured with bright turquoise trim Mediterranean style on the beach.
To go with more coastal theme, we chose Dulux Vintage Beige, white polar half for soffits, with Surfmist for new roof sheeting, guttering and fascia in colorbond ultra which has limited colour range. We were also going to get a feature stone wall cladding ‘Elowan’ by Arlo stone.
Unfortunately the Vintage Beige just looks like cream or pale lemon in the full sun(which our house sits) and will clash with stone wall cladding.
plus the house next door is mustard yellow with a grey/blue trimwhich I think is having an impact.
I’ve lost trusting my judgement and not sure if I repaint house in Dune whether it will work or should I just get used to colour?
Thanks in advance as I’m a newbie to this kind of thing!





welcome to learning that colours vary in different lighting conditions.
