Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 19, 2009 7:06 am I can't seem to find many pics of houses that have a Caper coloured roof We really like this colour but are still unsure what would look really good and are open to suggestions. Help cause I'm going round in circles. Two ideas I have: Roof: Caper Render: Dune Portico: ? Garage Door: Woodland Grey All other stuff ??? Or Roof: Caper Render: Surfmist Portico: Endless dusk Garage Door: Shale Grey We will be having double doors on the entrance Re: What exterior colours look good with a Monier Caper roof? 2Aug 19, 2009 5:30 pm Are you able to supply a link to your house, or the elevations?

Ours should be the same as this but without the extra portico on the side of the main portico. We will also be having Monier roof tiles and double door entry.

Was it you that put a pic of your front elevation picture on the forum? Could I be cheeky and ask you to add it to this thread? We don't have ours yet. I can't believe I am finding it so hard to choose exterior colours Our house will also have the higher roof and extra gable on the side of the house.

Re: What exterior colours look good with a Monier Caper roof? 17Aug 27, 2009 8:43 pm Well, I've had a week to ponder of our decision but ....... still not sure we have made the right decision with regard to colours. Was going with Dune right up to the last minute but OMG, we decided to go with the white. By the way, I am really, really crap with colours and just can't visualise.

I wanted to add a bit of depth with a colour on the portico. Only being able to use a tiled roof has screwed everthing up. I like the freshness of Natural white render.
