Facade: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The top part where is rendered in the picture will not be rendered, only the front post? Bricks: Austral Newport (we are also considering Latrobe and malt) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Windows: White birch/primrose Front Door: A dark red colour? Not sure. Or maybe cedar? Garage door: Jasper Gutters: Jasper Fascia: Surfmist Downpipes: White birch/primrose Bargeboards – White birch/primrose Eaves - surfmist Roof tiles - black colour? or Jasper again? Not sure yet So the question is the render colour out the front. I really love Jasper but I am worried with the garage door being Jasper, it will be too much? What do you think? The other option is to go with a black garage door to match the roof or a cedar garage door to match the front door. That way I can have the Jasper render. With the render colour I really want to stay away from any colour that has a shade of grey in it, like dune or bushland. What about paperbark? I have not seen this on a house so hard to imagine it! Anyway, any feedback you may have is much appreciated!

Garage door: Jasper Notes – Primrose it too yellow for your selections with your windows. Also, watch the amount of colours you use, less is sometimes best. I have gone off the colour of the bricks for your colours. And whoops!!!! I did these colours with Surfmist in mind for the render, this way you have the contrast of both the Jasper and the Surfmist.

I just don't know about the render colour. I am worried surfmist would be too light? Is there a colour between the surfmist and jasper that you think would still look good? Thanks again for your advice Re: Exterior colours help please! 4Aug 31, 2009 7:32 am Dune would be the in-between colour.
