Need help with Render Colours ?

Page 1 of 1
Hi All,

I'm only new to the forum, and I'm trying to figure out what render colour this house is.

Ive attached two images of two houses with slight different colours.

Your feedback would be well appreciated.
Probably dune, but only a guess.
The colours COULD be, Dulux Buff It and Dulux Blind Date.
What colour render would this be, The 1st floor has a different colour to the ground floor.

Any help would be appreciated.
It looks the same as the other lot of units.
Is it the same developer?
Hi Michelle,

They are different developers, in person the colours look different when seeing it on the monitor. I knocked on the door to the 1st house above and asked the lady if she could tell me what render colour she has and I will find out in a few days.

Too many different shades of render colour and strengths.

And I,ve noticed that today people are using acrylic render with 3 coats and no colour applied to the render, and the end result is

House with No colour applied to render, looks like it has alot of very light grey colour, very soft on the eyes.

The picture isn't that great as I took it from mt phone, sorry.
Love the last house! Very nice they have done an excellent job.

I can't really tell what colour it is, on my screen it seems to have a slight hint of pink in it.

Obviously not though.
Hi Michelle,

The owner just gave me the render colour for this house.

Its Pale Earth (Sand Cement Render)

I actually purchased a few sample pots, full strength and half strength. You are right it does have a slight pink in it when
looking at it in different sun light and conditions. How do you reduce the pink in the colour or get rid of the pink all together and go with a more brown??

As i painted some on my wall, and the 1/2 strength Pale Earth (Sand Cement Render) is close to surfmist. Been going crazy painting on my wall with various colours to see which one it might be.
You can't get the pink out of the colour as it has red in the mix.

What colour are you actually after for your units?
