Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Oct 04, 2012 3:16 pm Hi there, We have been struggling with paint colours lately, see lots of houses with colour schemes we like but when we go to bunnings and get sample pot of what we think they turn out nothing like what we see on someone elses home. This is our house below. The photo at the bottom is the colours and scheme we want to paint our house. The current roof is original but painted a creamy colour like the house so we would nee to paint it a similar colour to the base. Can someone help out with ways of identifying colours and also with photoshopping the colours onto our house and maybe suggest a colour for the roof? Many thanks guys Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The colours she wants Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Photoshop request Exterior Paint 2Oct 04, 2012 6:39 pm Oh boy that is one cute house. I love that colour scheme you have chosen on the last pic. For roof colour you cant really go past surfmist (colorbond) goes with just about eveything, otherwise shale grey would also work with that colour scheme. I cant help with the colour of the walls sorry, but will be interested to see what others suggest. For the trim I would think that Dulux White on White or Vivid White would be pretty close. Goodluck Re: Photoshop request Exterior Paint 4Oct 05, 2012 6:05 am Go to a real paint store , or a Dulux trade centre and get a sample pot of Dulux Dryfus, this colours is very similar to in the photo. Remember, all colours will wash out and be lighter in the sun.
