Have to pick the colours - one main and one for feature wall. We are having a zinculume roof(silver) and are set on a ceader wood garage door. Dulux colours are what we need to choose from and they have to be "in keeping with australian natural " Any ideas for walls and gutters. thanks Re: Exterior Colours 2May 20, 2007 6:53 pm So, when you say you can pick from Dulux colours I'm going to assume...well...I dunno. What is the exterior materials going to be? [sneakersss] Re: Exterior Colours 3May 20, 2007 9:40 pm Dulux exterior colour range is what the builer uses for you to select your colours from. Front of the house will all be rendered. Re: Exterior Colours 4May 21, 2007 10:49 am Are the sides just exposed brick? And have you picked the colour for these? [sneakersss] Re: Exterior Colours 5May 21, 2007 2:29 pm Sides of the house and back are exposed brick
We have chosen limestone hue from midland brick and tuscan as the second choice if we can't get our first Re: Exterior Colours 6May 21, 2007 9:31 pm I thought I had Dulux samples/brochures somewhere but I don't. So, I just found these colour names on the website under the exterior textures.
I'm thinking: Mallard Grey + Warm Neutral or Toffee Fingers + Pale Tendril or Networker + Prince. Hope that helps or at least gives you something to start with. Wow, it's exciting picking colours. Maybe I should build another house. [sneakersss] Re: Exterior Colours 7May 22, 2007 10:27 am Picking exterior colours is the hardest!!!
Do you have any idea what sort of colourings you would like - are you more into the grey's or creams etc? I've only got the Dulux brochure here so it doesn't have the full range (you can see that at a Dulux store or Bunnings) but I agree with YSSIM the Mallard Grey looks nice.....it's really hard to tell what the colours look like until you actually get a sample pot and paint a sample!! Good Luck Nat Re: Exterior Colours 8May 23, 2007 9:27 pm painted out some Mallard Grey and it looks good, and have picked a couple of tan/beige/cream colours just not quite sure yet.
