Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Apr 18, 2012 11:53 am Hi I am new here, but have seen a few threads for advice on colours. We are building a new home that will be bagged brick. It is a long "H" shape home on acerage with a front verandah in the middle. The colours I like are a shale grey colorbond roof with white windows and garage is in surfmist with a medium grey/blue bagged finish (I like Taubmans endure sheffield grey) any other suggestion on the blue grey? I have found it really hard to find the right mix of blue/grey. And the double front doorsI want to be a deep earthy red ( any suggestions on colours please) I haven't seen many pictures around of a light roof with the blue/grey house. If anyone has any that would be great. They all seem to have a darker roof with a lighter base.
