Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Aug 25, 2011 11:02 pm Hi all, I have just joined up as my Wife and I have purchased a house that needs a bit of TLC. One of the first things we have planned is to re roof. Currently it has aluminium roof tiles (first I have heard of them!) and it has more holes than a politicians promise! We are trying to decide on the colour of the roof, which will be done in colorbond. We are leaning towards either a grey or green colour at the moment. Obviously we also need to choose a colour for the gutters, fascia boards and the walls. Anyway, here's a pic so you know what we have to start with. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b330/smally351/20110707192345.jpg We plan on removing the existing pergola out the front and on the side, possibly replacing it with a small bull nose verandah each side of the centre window. Any suggestions on colour schemes (or even pics to help us choose) would be greatly appreciated! Re: Exterior Colour Scheme Advice Please 3Aug 26, 2011 4:32 pm d@n Will you be keeping the windows? They look brownish from that photo? If that is the case you could go with a jasper or loft roof. What's that big tower thing behind your house? Not really fond of the window treatment, so will look at changing them or just the colour of the frames if possible. The big tower is actually a TV aerial. We live in the country and it was all the rage a few years back to put the TV aerials up really high to pick up the city channels. Never really worked properly.
