Your bricks certainly look like two differernt colours in the different light. I really like them - both colours. Have you seen them up on a house? Paula Re: Newbies toy home - Betty update :) 19Sep 21, 2008 3:55 pm One thing I found is that the paletts arrive with dust all over them which makes the bricks look dull. Also when they are washed the color comes up brighter and richer. You could try taking out one brick and giving it a good clean yourself to see if it looks any different. I find brick colors can be very deceiving until you see the whole wall complete with windows and facias around it. We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds. The quote above was purely for “pre-wiring” so the blinds company can install the motors and blinds.
