Colour questions?

Page 6 of 20
Hi Michelle,
Hoping you can help, I'm stressing myself out over our external colours. It's too late for pretty much everything except our render colours. I was hoping to post photos but can't work out how.
We have a two story house with a monument colorbond roof (regretting such a dark colour already argh). Silver window frames. Wood look triple garage and front door. We have to choose Dulux accratex colours and have chosen Silkwort and Exposed Elements. Will this all go together or will it look like a mess and/or way too dark?

Hi Rebecca87.....

Here are your colours. You have thrown a brown into the mix with greys and charcoal.
If possible I would change Exposed Elements to a mid grey. not mid brown.
But other than that one colour, everything else works.

Hi Michelle, just wanting some advice please if you don't mind. What colour would you recommend to paint internal trims and doors if the walls are kitty grey. We prefer the cooler tones and don't want to much of a contrast. Would it suit to do the kitty grey in a half or quarter strength? I would really appreciate your help. X

Hi ma_prez...yes you hit it on the head.
If you like your wall colour drop it back a couple of shades for your trims, that way all colours are in the same family.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for your reply! Do you have a suggestion of a mid grey from the Dulux Acratex selection?
Thanks,
Rebecca

I'm pretty sure Acratex is just a paint finish/render you can mix any colour paint into.
I'm heading out the door soon, I'll have a look later for you.

I have no issue with a step down, it helps to define your leisure space.

2. I choose espresso brick from pgh and want best match of render and cladding colour as my wife want Surmist render and garage too....plz reply

Hi there

We have recently build in QLD with Plantation Homes and now need to choose our render colours. I thought all the big decisions were behind us but seems not to be the case. We've sampled a few paints (Dulux evening haze and dune and white duck) but none seem to be right. I would love some advice.

Looking for something neutral to go with our surfmist colorbond roof etc but everything seems to not be the tone I'm chasing. I'd love something with a bit of brown/neutral but not dark or overwhelming. Any tips? Pic below



Hi all....I'm really sorry for not being around for so long.
I have had the busiest time in my work for a very long time.
I'm still trying to get through a few projects but my time is freeing up slightly.

I hope to be in a little more now.

Hi Michelle,

Would really value your opinion on our color selection for the front facade:

Front Projection : Malay Grey
Full House Render Color : Silkwort
Tile on side wall: Alpine Charcoal
Roof, downpipes and gutters: Monument Grey
Windows: Stegbar's low sheen black
Garage: Timberlook Coaba
Front door stain: Ash Brown

Here is my poor attempt creating a render from the color palettes above:



And here are the elevations:



Thanks in advance...
