Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 12, 2011 9:24 am Hi Everyone....seeking some advice on colours. A little bit of background... We have a contract on our home and will be building on our acerage block, (2.2 acres) in the near future. Shed will be going up soon 9x9 with rollar doors on gable. Walls will be Dune, gutters fascia and roller doors will be Jasper and roof zinc. We are yet to decide if roof on house will be zinc too or colourbond but as the shed is down the back of the block we thought we'd try a zinc roof to save a couple of dollars and to see how it looks as we are considering zinc for the house. The house will also feature Dune and Jasper but we need a 3rd colour to go with these for the render. House will be a combination of boards, render and FC Sheeting. Here is the front view...hope this works [url]<a href="http://s1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee491/chookandlardy/?action=view&current=IMG_0001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee491/chookandlardy/IMG_0001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/url] At this stage we believe the boards and sheeting will be Dune, the gutters, fascia and window frames Jasper but would like to incorporate a third colour for the render which will feature somewher on the entry too....not sure if the posts or in the alcove for the entry....I'm lost and need help!!! I find I get myself hung up on the colourbond colours and haven't really ventured much into finding out what else we could use for render colours. I don't mind the look of Ironstone with Dune and Jasper but unsure if I want to go down the blue path....Plus worried how that would look in render. We are thinking down the sides of the house will mainly be Dune but there will be a couple of spots that stick out for bathrooms/dinning which we'd like to render the same colour that we choose for the front. Have I lost anyone yet. Would dearly love any opinions/colour advice. Thanks in advance.

Will try and upload when able to. Would love to hear if anyone else has a suggestion of what to team with Dune and Jasper Re: Colour Help Sorted Please!!!!! 7Feb 22, 2011 5:58 pm Since my original post I have been thinking maybe Dune should be the render colour and a lighter colour on the boards at the front, maybe like Surfmist??? If you get a chance could you offer your opinions at all please. I think the above colours will work, possibly Jasper for the poles out the front?

Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 3618 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 1033 Hi there, we have classic cream gutters, fascia’s, roller door and undercover carport.
