I've gone for Boral Victorian Blue for my ground floor bricks and would like some ideas for the render colour for the top. My photo doesn't show the brick colour very well so here's one I goggled Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The fascias and guttering are Colorbond Monument (grey colour). Roof tiles are Boral French Terracotta tiles in Eclipse (again grey). So I want to help break up the house by selecting a neutral dark cream/light brown colour. Can anyone suggest a colour that is not too light nor too dark. Re: Help with Render Colour 3Sep 04, 2012 1:39 pm Which Dune are you referring to? Even Dulux has a few shades of Dune! All too hard to decide. If anything, I would prefer lighter rather than darker. The renderer advised darker would make it look smaller.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ What's your honest opinion of it? I'm thinking of reprinting it myself in the next couple of days before the roof tilers are back. I think it's too yellow and I should have used a darker colour, latte or grey. Do you think it's worth repainting, or is ok the way it is? If repaint, what colour I repaint it? I still have the walking planks up there to paint the eaves, so isn't that big a deal to repaint before the tiles are installed. Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply again.
