Our colour consultation is coming up and after many hours we have finally decided on our external colours - well most of them! Roof tiles - Mochachoc Gutters - Jasper Fasica - paperbark Downpipes - paperbark walls - cajun brown (like in the picture) Garage doors - ???????????? I would love to have jasper but do you think it would be too dark? Front door - colour of garage - or if we have money left over wooden.... I am sorry that the picture is so dark (got it as an example from our builders) Thanks for your help everyone - I really appreciate it!

IMO I don't think jasper is too dark. But it really depends on the vision you have for your place

I think jasper is a really beautiful colorbond colour.

Everyone, thank you so much for your replies! Really really appreciate your ideas Mez Re: Jasper or paperbark garage doors? 7Dec 05, 2008 8:48 pm Wood, then Paerbark and Jasper .....where?
I think the Jasper for the garage door is a good idea; you need contrast in the front. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Jasper or paperbark garage doors? 8Dec 07, 2008 3:12 pm my vote is for paperbark.. otherwise the door stands out too much. The brickwork is enough of a feature. It's a classic case of aesthetics subjugating function where style takes precedence over practicality. 3 3942 Surrey Hills, Vic 3127 Garage is being built with metal, 3m distance away from my cover deck.
