New home dilema

Page 1 of 1
Folks.

Just completed a new home and it looks "externally" terrible. I really have no option but to now render the exterior walls. The Roof is DUNE and I would appreciate any suggestions which color "Granosite" I should use to render the exterior walls and which color should I paint the Guttering etc. The Colorbond chart suggests either Dulux "Tristan" or "Linseed" walls but do any of the braintrusts on the Forum have any good advice.

Thanks.
John
Would like to see a photo of your façade to help get it right for you.

Are you able to follow this link so you can post a photo?

Please dont say it is the 'dune' roof that makes it look externally terrible!! We are just about to start building with a dune roof, gutter and facia!!! And our render is almost dune as well (it's Taubman's birchstone). I love dune, but some people I have spoken to say dune throws a salmon pink shade in some lights
Hey thanks for the quick replies.
"Homeone" give me a day or so and I will post some Pixs and many thanks.
"Belandchris" dont panic but yes the roof colour being not pronounced is really at the mercy of the light and really does need a distinct contrast wall colour
IMO, Dune looks great with Tinker.
