Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 30, 2022 9:27 am HI guys, I am looking for some advice on external colors. My house will have concrete cool smoke tiles. Initially I wanted to have Night sky for garage door, fascias, gutters and downpipes. However, I think Night sky from colorbond is too shinny and too dark for the roof tiles. So, I decided to go with the Monument Matt for garage door, fascias, gutters and downpipes. I decided for Monument Matt over standard Monument because the matt finish it is a bit darker. Now, the question is what color should I go for the windows. My builder suggest to go with monument color for uniformity. However, I initially picture the house with black windows as all appliances will be black. I wonder if any of you have combined monument/monument matt with black windows, does it look ok? Other details: the brick will be Ruby from austral bricks, two front pillars with decorative stone (white with clear grey tones), and some white timber at the top of the porch. See the picture below. The only difference with my house is that the window in the porch are will be wider. Also, the monument matt is not showed for the facias and gutter for some reason.

Its not something your eye is drawn to at all However my new place has monument window frames too (because we had the choice) and they look great. It might be worth asking your builder whether their window supplier can manufacture in any colorbond color and if they say no, ask the supplier directly. I've found often builders sales/colour consultants assume that what they have in their showrooms/books is the full range available to them. We had that scenario with the window winders. Builder said you can have monument windows, but the winders only come in black or white. Called the supplier, and they said they can do winders in any colour to match frames. When i told the builder this they were genuinely surprised. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig.

Maybe I am asking for too much, but would you be able to share some pictures of your current house?
