Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 24, 2012 1:41 pm Hi Guys, i am building in Wellard and almost halfway done (expecting lock down this weeekend). I regret not having come to this forum before. I liked the standard elevation colors of one of the standard houses in their brochure and during my Pre-start i asked the consultant to replicate those colors for me. Now when my roof is up, i have realized my mistake of not researching a lot. I selected Dune Colorbond and it came out so light (looks just like surfmist) . Now, i am freaking out about the other paint choices. I searched the colors mentioned in the contract and cant imagine a finished hours with those colors. May be becoz i am panicking. Can anyone please help me put things together? any suggestions?? COLORBOND ROOF Dune EXTERNAL COLOUR SELECTION Entry doors and frame (Gloss Enamel): Solver CB Stone Secondary Entry door and frame: Solver Soapstone Garage Door: Jasper External render 1: Solver White Cliffs 200% External contrast render 2: Solver CB Jasper INTERNAL COLOUR SELECTION Doors and frames (maximum 1 colour) Solver Soapstone Re: Building in Wellard - Doubting my color selections 2Oct 24, 2012 2:05 pm Sounds nice to me, don't forget Colorbond changes shade every five minutes depending where the sun is! White Cliffs is lovely and Jasper is a good colour, you'll be fine. much worse out there! Re: Building in Wellard - Doubting my color selections 3Oct 24, 2012 2:27 pm Thanks Donna, thats encouraging. As i am at lock up stage, i am thinking that i pay penalty and get the color changed. Any suggestions for better colors to go with light roof? Re: Building in Wellard - Doubting my color selections 5Oct 24, 2012 2:49 pm I have white cliffs on my house and carabou (darker then jasper) and the colours look lovely. On my thread I have two colours of white cliffs...200% and 300%. Both are lovely but we copied a display home and it was 300% and they mistakenly told us it was 200%, thus the change. It is a grey white. certainly not yellowish. I think it will go nice with dune too...we have woodland grey, but if we didn't have that we would have gone with surf mist (our garage door colour) which is a lot lighter then dune. Dune having that grey tone, will go lovely with your render. Look at my thread and you will see...go to last few pages for the 300% render...it looked nice at 200% but i think with us having the darker roof and contrast render the difference needed to be toned down (i hope that makes sense!)...having a light roof and jasper, 200% will give it the perfect difference!

That means mine will be bit lighter.... Re: Building in Wellard - Doubting my color selections 9Oct 24, 2012 5:15 pm The Archer (Dale Alcock) is also 300%...so yes yours will be a little lighter. Incase you couldn't find our house painted in the 200%...here it is! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hope that helps. Remember our feature wall is a lot darker then jasper, so i think the lighter version will look really nice. and Dune is a nice soft colour, great for heat reduction...and not creamy! Will go really nice with the render colours! Thank you for your comments on our house. We love it! Love driving up to it! The front just stands out...although someone up the road copied us...or copied the display (as they are also building with dales!)...but i would like to think they copied us because our house looks so great! Re: Building in Wellard - Doubting my color selections 10Oct 24, 2012 5:16 pm of course don't look at the letter box...that was prior to render! We also noticed that depending on the render colour they use, will depend on how the final colour appears. our house render was a dark grey murky colour, whereas the cream render for the letter box. I notice a difference in colour...but others don't! Either way is nice though! How much are you ahead in payments compared to where the build is at? Have you fully drawn down the loan? 5 11934 I would probably definitely consider contrasting out garage door (e.g. light ash would look great) and make downpipes and fascia same colour as your walls, not as your… 1 3574 Suggestions please for acrylic rendering Color to match austral brick urban one pepper.
