Sorry to see the issues with the colour.
Just so you know don't worry about the Shale Grey being green. I can tell you we did it as our render and it is a very grey colour, no green! I ended up talking hubby into letting us have the house repainted surfmist! I love the change. Many might not notice it but the shale grey I felt like it was a bit of a depressing grey (keep in mind it was our only render colour so I think it was a bit much, I have seen it on other houses where it was one of two or three colours and it looked great). When I drove up to the house after it was painted surfmist it made me smile!
I agree that the developers requirements can make picking colours difficult as you are very limited! Keep in mind that once the whole area is developed there will be no stopping people changing colours. I have a friend building in Ellenbook. Her colour choice was knocked back so she plans to repaint once the house is finished.
BTW I can't remember if I said it after seeing your final plans you have done an amazing job! it looks great and such a practical layout!!

fmac - thanks so much for the lovely comment re our final plans - it means a lot coming from you! Your build was one of the first ones I followed on here even though I didn't take part in your thread much as I wasn't building yet! In fact, we're still waiting for the before and after shots of the render colour
