Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Nov 12, 2010 2:18 pm We have recently completed a renovation and are unsure of what colour we should paint hte soffit. At the moment on the existing part of the house it is a real creamy/yellow colour. We have changed our roof to charcoal and have quite an orange brink (1989 style). We were also wondering about the down pipes? What is the trend now, same as soffit or same as roof? We were planning on driving around to new estates this weekend but thought I would ask here first.

I'd do charcoal. With the soffit - do you mean under the eaves - don't really know what the soffit is I'd say white if it is. Charcoal would be too dark I would have thought. Still not in.
