Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 30, 2009 5:11 pm Hi! I am picking out exterior colours at the moment and was wondering what your thoughts are on this combination: Brick: PGH Espresso Roof, Gutters and Downpipes: Colorbond Monument Fascia and Garage Door: Shale Grey Shale grey or similar colour render feature at front Timber front foor and timber feature above entrance. I am wondering whether Monument is too dark with Espresso brick, maybe i should be doing shale grey roof?? Any ideas or suggestions please let me know!!!! Thanks!! Re: Exterior Colour Comination....

I like the sound of Monument, Shale Grey and Timber together too.. And i am hoping Espresso fits in with them! Re: Exterior Colour Comination....

Like you I'm wondering if the monument and the bricks will be a bit heavy, but the timber and the garage door will certainly break it up a bit. Using the off-white rather than neutral mortar will lighten it too. Do you have any addresses of homes that have used the brick (PGH should be able to supply addresses)? It'd be good to see if you could find a place that looks like it has the monument roof with those bricks so you can see if it's too dark. This home in this thread has similar-ish colours... http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20278&start=60 We're home!!!

LOL Good luck with PGH , and let us know what you decide. We're home!!!
