What colour eaves please :)

Page 1 of 1
We are in the process of building an extension and renovating our fibro shack. We have put in angled eaves to modernise the shack a bit, but I am not sure what colour to paint them.

Colour choices so far for the external:

Roof – Surfmist (can not really see the roof)

Visible Gutters - Surfmist

Capping (no fascia) - Surfmist

Downpipes – surfmist ?

Eaves - ?

Posts – Vivid White

Cladding - Dune colour bond cladding laid horizontal.

Windows and sliding doors - White with chunky vivid white surrounds.

Front Entry Door - Woodland Grey or White (will have chunky white surround)

Deck – Stained Timber with Woodland Grey fascia board

I only have a picture of the back of house at the moment.





I was thinking surfmist, simply because the capping is really all that you see of the surfmist roof (with the exception of the front of house which will have visible awnings over front deck), but am just not sure.

TIA, Hayley.
i'll go with surfmist too
Thanks for your reply Pepto471

I am thinking I will just go with Surfmist, no one is jumping in to say otherwise
White. To match your poles and windows.
Thanks Michelle.


My hubbie thinks Surfmist is the way to go but I have convinced him that doing an undercoat in white and seeing how looks will be a good idea. Considering we need to buy the white paint anyway I think I can convince him.
