Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 03, 2012 10:48 am Hi everyone, My wife & I are building a new house & have chosen Grecian Gold bricks. We have decided to go with a Dune colorbond roof & were thinking about Jasper gutters, Dune facia & Jasper window trim. But now I am thinking the Jasper would be too dark for the window trim & the light roof, dark gutter, light facia & darker brick would be a bit much. Has anyone used or seen any good colour schemes for Grecian Gold bricks? We are open to any suggestions even if they don't include our colours.

This makes about 15% difference to the overall look of your house, according to the brick manufacturers. Have you tried colourbond colours Evening Haze or Paperbark? Evening Haze is more a neutral than Jasper and Paperbark is a creamier brown-toned colour. Dune and Evening Haze go well together, but it all depends on your grout tone (white, cream or gray?) and what look you are wanting to achieve. The other way you can go is with a darker roof (like, say, the Jasper) and use Dune for the eaves and gutters. . . Also looks good. There's a house down the road from where we are renting with this combination and it looks great, very restful. They have used painted render which is a latte colour instead of brick, with a light brown stone trim on the feature wall.

What about changing your window colour? I'm renovating - building a small extension at the back of the late Edwardian house. This is the first stage.
