Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Jan 26, 2010 11:30 am We are painting our garage floor with Dulux Durabuild. We are having problems deciding on a colour. Walls in garage are Hog bristle and driveway is a dark charcoal. House render is Dulux Gnu Tan and roof is black tiles. We will need a practical colour and was thinking a mid grey that is not too dark as this would show dust marks. I had a look at the Dulux greys and was totally confused.
