Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 09, 2020 1:20 am Hello, Planning to build a beautiful house but I am totally confused about which brick colour I should choose!? Lot of houses I see these days are using dark colour brick with grey colour mortar to make house aesthetically appealing is this the trend? Am I wrong if I chose a light colour brick? I am basically building through Henley. I think they are pretty good. We build the house as our asset so that when we retire we can sell and use the money to fund our retirement... hence I am seeking your guidance. Kindly guide me Many Thanks Re: Exterior brick colour and mortar colour 2Aug 13, 2020 8:07 pm We are also building with Henley. We have chosen Mannagum from Austral bricks. Still undecided about the mortar though. Hope this helps. Exterior brick colour and mortar colour 3May 22, 2021 1:40 am [quote="ilovebighouse"] Am I wrong if I chose a light colour brick?
