White weatherboard farmhouse with verandahs the whole way round, tall roof etc So keeping in mind the windows and verandah posts are going to be WHITE, the weatherboards will be a slightly darker (antique white usa or hogs bristle) My dilemma is 1) Zincalume roof (we were always going to have zinc), but what colour gutters and fascia?? Do we go with zincalume gutter or colorbond? Then which colour colorbond? 2)Colorbond roof? What colour is most like zincalume? Thank you in anticipation! Re: Colorbond or Zincalume?

I don't know if many areas are like this but we are building on a property in NSW and our council will not allow the use of Zincalume or Colourbond Surf Mist as they are too reflective (even though we have no neighbours in sight).

What colour gutters & fascia? 5Mar 08, 2015 8:07 pm If it's a white weatherboard farm house I would be going Zincalume roof. I think Zinc would just put a nice natural effect on it. As for gutter and fascia, maybe shale grey unless you wanted a more heritage look Re: Colorbond or Zincalume?
