facade colour dilemna

Hi everyone,
due to issues with window manufacturers, I have had to change my window colour to woodland grey. from my samples it looks a little green/grey. this is now making me rethink my roof tile colours...was going to be blue dusk boral.
so we now have a firm decision for windows, fascia,gutters, downpipes as woodland grey.
the whole house to be rendered a taupe/oyster colour. DH thinks that the garage door should match the colourbond woodland grey, and I am inclined to agree.
my concern is should we choose a roof tile colour that matches woodland grey, or go for a lighter grey/brown....or something else
If we match, it may be overall a little bit too dark.
I would really like to see computer experts show me how the different facades would look...or can you show me woodland grey?
is it a green/grey, blue grey, or pure grey...
thanks for your input,
Jo

ZONK check out my house . my windows are woodland grey. My blogs on perrys list of blogs under PD.
maybe black tiles might work for you if your set on woodland grey.

Woodland Grey appears to be a green-tinged charcoal colour. I would either go for Gunmetal or Black roof tiles (I used the Boral colour chart). I know you said you weren't keen on a dark tile, but with a taupe/oyster render, I think going any lighter would look a bit odd. Either of these colours, with a Woodland Grey garage door too, will make your home look sophisticated.
