Austral latte brick and surfmist

Page 1 of 1
We are looking at using austral "latte" bricks and trying to work out if colorbond surfmist or evening haze is better. Has anyone used this combination that could share a photo?
Not sure if it would help as photos are never as good as the real thing. Try going onto colourtouch.com.au & have a play with the colour selections
I'm using the urban one latte and surfmist for the windows. its currently in the process so you may not be able to "see" much.

search Alkira .. a member (Forg) built with latte as well I think he used evening haze ...
IMHO, the Evening Haze and the Surfmist are so close to each other that once you put them on a house you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you're specifically looking for differences (or the neighbour builds with the same colour combo
).

I think my build-thread has a photo or two which might be of use: Clicky-click
Although the roof is tiled, we had to get the garage done in Colorbond because it was going to be too tall for CDC without reducing the rake of the roof (and the angle was under the allowed angle for tiles). I don't know if the thread says what we used on the garage; but I think it'll be the lighter of the two.
Thanks for the responses! I think I prefer the surfmist. It just looks fresher
