Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Feb 16, 2010 11:54 pm Hi all, I am a young female building a house on my own in WA, and have found this forum to be fantastic in doing my research!! I have heard that the paint colours chosen for front render on a house look a little lighter than expected when complete (due to a large space and lots of light) and was wondering if anyone had this experience? I would love to use Dulux Tranquil Retreat for the front of my house (with a dark door and window frames), but I'm worried it may be too light. Any thoughts are most appreciated!

For example we had ours tinted 200%. You just need to check with the paint people that your colour can be tinted darker. I would also suggest you get some sample pots and paint some card and have a look at them in all different lights and sun outside.
