Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 20, 2010 10:28 pm Im hoping Im posting in the right area. You'd think me being a girl I'd have some idea....nope...Im completely lost and I hate to say this but I am completely in over my head with colours when it comes to homes. We're building our own home & am in love with this facade: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So far I have choosen Bristle roof tiles in classic charcoal: http://www.bristileroofing.com.au/Produ ... es/Classic and the guttering we choose is in the colour monument. However I have no idea what colour we should paint the fascia & the eaves. Any ideas? Do my colour schemes sound okay? is momument too dark? Heck I dont even know what colour we'll render the house my biggest concern is that our windows (aluminum) are in white birch and I think I have way too many colours going on. Please help me - Im totally useless! Re: Please help me choose colours- Im a girl & I've got no i 2Nov 21, 2010 8:14 am The Monument gutters look like they will match your roof perfectly. Fascia is a personal preference, some people match it to the guttering, some people like a contrast. Both look great. You could do your fascia in the monument or you could do them in Surfmist which would tie in with your window frames, but won't be an exact match. I probably wouldn't introduce another colour if it was me, I'd probably stick with Monument fascia. What colour will your garage door be? This will also play a part in the decision. For render I'd go a grey or a taupe colour (similar to the pic) to tie in with what you already have. Our eaves are painted white, I'm guessing ceiling white type colour, we never actually selected a colour. In the pic you have shown, the gutters etc look like they are Woodland Grey. Check out Aaron and Erin's build thread. They've used monument and have two different colour renders to their front facade. It may give you some ideas. There's an index on the first page of the thread to tell you where the pics are. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18496&hilit=render I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

You'll need to decide on render colour as that will determine how the other colours go. Nice facade btw... good wide frontage. You must be new to the internet.
