Re: Exterior paint colours to match tile roof 4Nov 23, 2009 4:49 pm We had a jasper roof with paperbark render at our previous house, I could post a photo if you t hink it would help? Re: Exterior paint colours to match tile roof 5Nov 23, 2009 4:56 pm Thought I would post it anyway, might be some help. It doesnt look quite so light in real life. I think that photo was photoshopped by the real estate agent before they put it online - I dont have any non-photoshopped shots sorry! http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac304/ms_builder/105734814al1251689896.jpg I think the bushland is a similar kind of tone but in green (if that even makes sense) so I think it would look essentially the same as that... Hope that helps! Re: Exterior paint colours to match tile roof 6Nov 23, 2009 6:31 pm Ms Builder Thought I would post it anyway, might be some help. It doesnt look quite so light in real life.
