Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 13, 2009 3:30 pm Hi Michelle, I just need some advice on my exterior choices so far - Brick: PGH Espresso Roof: Monument, or something lighter like Shale Grey? Garage Door/Gutters/Downpipes: Same colour roof we choose Fascia: White Windows: White Timber front door and timber feature on Entry! I am just a little worried Monument will be too dark, but i am also worried Shale Grey is too pale?? Any suggestions would be great!!

I dont know which one i like more!! I have heard Espresso can chip really badly, so was thinking maybe i should go for a better quality brick like vic blue or storm, i really like the storm brick in that pic too!!!! What are your thoughts? Which ones the nicest? Re: Exterior Colour Scheme! 19Aug 14, 2009 7:43 pm I like them both. But I think for a timeless look the last one maybe better. Storm.
