Just thought some of you guys might be interested in some pics of one of the new colourbond colour: Evening Haze.
This is a display in Berwick, it's been used for guttering, fascia, downpipes and roof. It throws a very, very slight green tinge... but barely noticable.
It's actually really lovely in person.
White windows, and I'm not quite sure what the brick was....
And I think the cladding may also have been Evening Haze.
I didn't take any facade shots, as the roof couldn't be seen from the front. Sorry the photos are a bit *******, took them from the car like a true stalker.

Your right Jo, that is a gorgeous colour - very similar to dune with just a bit more brown rather than grey - very nice
Yeah, Michelle described it as a soft Latte colour.
It is considerably lighter than Dune in person. There was a house with a Dune roof nearby and the difference was noticable.
I think it is sort of an alternative to Dune, but like Dune it will lend itself to a heap of combos. Dune is so versatile, and I think this will prove to be as well.
I've picked it as my fascia and my render colour.
So if I picked it, it is suitable for people who don't normally like beige and brown.
It looks quite light up on the roof; I can see that this colour may be banned in some areas where I live, and possibly anyone else living near an Airport!
That is a really nice colour
Nice colour. I thought the cladding looked the same. Infills above the windows look like the same colour too. I like the roof pitch on that house too, looks nice and flattish.
The brickwork doesn't look that flash though! For a display especially, looks a bit **...fromt he windows on the second storey up, looks different to below.
Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a critique of that display home! It's a lovely colour, Evening Haze
Has anyone used Metro Silver for their windows? We are undecided as to what colour to go with and can't work out if the Metro Silver from A & L just looks a bit "fake" as we haven't seen it in situ anywhere yet, we would really like to see what colours look especially with large sliding doors and large kitchen windows all in one area like we are having.
A link to A & L colours below:

vid, my brother has used metro silver and I have mixed feelings to be honest. I've also seen it in displays.
I think it looks absolutely brilliant with a modern sleek interior and facade. But like you said it can look really fake sometimes.
This is a display where I think it really works..... particularly check pic 9 and pic 1 shows the facade.
Pic 9 shows a servery window... the sliding doors aren't ther silver though... they're wood.
M3tricon will be filtered, but just add it in place of the stars.

Hi joles, Thanks for this reply and the other regarding Dune, much appreciated, this decision is obviously major to the look of the house getting it wrong would be bad.
