The PHG liquorice bricks are very nice! Re: External Colour Help 16Mar 21, 2016 6:52 pm ![]() ![]() Probably a dark window colour, will match the roof. What type of front door are you having, painted or timber? Would like timber, but money restrictions will probably force us towards painted. Re: External Colour Help 18Mar 22, 2016 5:38 am Whilst I'm liking the thought of the dark windows in the front of the house against the light render I worry about the rest of the windows around the house on the dark brick.

Bricks are Austral Freedom and cladding is shale grey. Windows are Woodland grey but only because we couldn't get them in Wallaby, in someways happy with the choice with the darker brick. One thing I've noticed with a Wallaby roof is light really effects the the colour. It changes from really light to quite dark.
