I have a 1960's colonial style house that we are renovating. The roof is peaked roof and is currently a brownish tiled colour and we are looking to render and paint the outside, we are also adding a flat roofed garage.
I need some help with garage colours.
We are thinking:
Gutters, fascia and downpipes: Jasper colorbond
Exterior rendered walls: Buff It Half
Windows: Will be a white
So my questions are:
(1) Do we go with a Jasper garage door - or is that going to be too 'brown'?
(2) Would an Evening Haze of Dune colour work? If we use this, do should I make the fascia this colour so that it is incorporated into the overall colour scheme?
I also like the colour look of 'The Amari' in Perth if anyone happens to know the external colour scheme.
Any help is appreciated.
I can't really recommend colours because my own taste is a bit wilder than yours (I'm into strong colours) but would just like to make a comment.
Why do so many houses paint downpipes as if it's a feature? Gutters - yes - it kind of frames a house - but downpipes? When we painted our downpipes the same colour as the walls, letting them fade into the background, it was just so much better looking.
I think you are right re: blending the downpipes, we have decided to do that, but still have no real idea re: garage door colours!
Anyone else have any colour suggestions with a jasper roof?
If you love brown then that's ok...but a bit of variety is always nice. Introduce some neutral colours and timber goes well too.
