Fiona Re: Boring Stuff for the Rest of You - My Colour Selections 14Apr 10, 2008 9:49 pm Deep Ocean is also our choice for window frames & doors, and garage door. But we're also using it on fascias, gutters, downpipes etc as well to keep the amount of colours used to a minimum.
It looks slightly lighter in real life. Photos in my thread (Our M3tric0n Story) of windows installed in a coupla days, hopefully. Actually, our bricks (Austral 'Latrobe') and roof tiles (Bristile 'Magnum') are similar as well. Geoff - Decophile.

Our fascia/spouting colour - Mountain Blue - is very close to Deep Ocean - to the extent it'll be hardly different at all. Dh was a bit worried about the presence of such a lot of dark colour, however I'm sure it'll look fine. Looking forward to seeing your pics with the same colours!
