Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 12, 2014 9:48 am I'm new to this but really need some help! We are painting our 1970s rendered house, it is currently white with green trim. We have already changed the roof and gutters to Woodland Grey and the window trims will be Antique White USA. My problem is the wall colour, the painter has started doing Stepney but my husband thinks its too light and maybe a bit mauve? So wondering if anyone has any other colour combinations, Id really like to stay with the greys! Thanks!

Always good to get some sample pots and paint them on large card (as large as you can get). Take into consideration the aspect of your house as well, paint will look "bleached" in the northern full sun aspect and look darker elsewhere depending on morning or evening light. In this pic, someone has used Antique white usa on the main body of the house, with Dulux elephant grey trims: http://www.homelife.com.au/homes/galler ... 2345?pos=7 and there's mention (on the net) of Mallard Grey being used as well. True greys are hard to find it seems! You do need a warm grey for the Antique white USA trims. Dune (brownish grey) might also be worth trying!
