rendering our house

Page 1 of 1
Hi, I have a mid 60's home that has been renovated inside and now the outside needs attention. The exterior currently has the bagged cement look in Merino colour (similar to Colorbond Paperbark I think).

All the windows are new, they are aluminium in Monument colour. Gutters are woodland grey as are the facias. We will be having an acrylic render put on all over the house and I'm trying to decide on a colour.

Originally I thought the Colorbond Dune colour would be a good choice but after painting a small section of the house with a sample pot, it looks alot colder/greyer than I was anticipating. I probably prefer something on the warmer side but have no idea what to look at. The front yard has a low wall of sandstone pavers along the driveway.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Utilise Dulux online colour guide - it has swatches of complimentary colours. We wanted to paint our house grey, so we found a colour we liked and then entered it into google with dulux.
