Too much white?

Page 1 of 1
Hey all, just trying to decide on external colours. Is this too much white? Not enough contrast in colours? Was originally going with monument roof but think the surfmist will keep the house cooler.


Dune is a nice colour for main render and you can make contrast by a darker grey like colorbond Basalt for feature render together with Monument window frames.

For downpipes, one option is to match the colour with the brick colour and ask the builder to paint the downpipes on the render to the render colour. My builder suggested this in the prestart meeting.

Surfmist is a good choice for the roof in my opinion
