Also- will the Ultra Silver Gloss windows stand out too much?? Woodland Grey would at least match roof??

Michelle Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32574 Re: Help external colours please!! 2Mar 31, 2010 1:50 pm I like the above pic. But I love surfmist... so I may be of no help! We have chosen to go Surfmist with the silver window frames too (colours are on my blog) But my opinion may be a bit biased as I love those colours!!! I have recently painted my current front door in Dune and it was a lot lighter than I expected, not so brown more of a soft white (if that makes sense) so maybe Dune may be the way to go if you don't want to much of a stark contrast with Surfmist being really white!) That's my opinion, hope it helps Sleven Moved into our Atlantique MkII 36 by Carlisle Homes Re: Help external colours URGENTLY PLEASE??!!!!! 3Mar 31, 2010 10:02 pm Hi Shelb, We have Ironstone roof and gutters with Dune facia. Our house is rendered and painted Dune with some feature walls done in Ironstone. We thought the Dune would be a much more beige/latte sort of colour but has turned out quite grey. In fact, when part of the house was first painted you could barely tell the difference between the Dune painted wall and the rendered unpainted wall. So, you may find the Dune is what you are after. Many houses around us have the Woodland grey colourbond roof and it has a definte army green throw to it when the sun hits. Ironstone does throw to dark blue in some lights but most people think it is really dark grey, especially when mixed with the Dune which also throws to grey. Anyway, so far I haven't been much help. My thread has a few pics of our place for you to see the Ironstone and Dune together. I am really happy with our colours and think they would go really well with your brick choice which seems to have a throw to the bluey tones also. But I am biased!

I love that colour (it's what we've chosen for our windows) and it is actually more of a light grey - i don't consider it to have brown/beige undertones at all...... i think Dune will go perfectly with your beautiful colour scheme.... i absolutely LOVE your colours!

Re: Help external colours URGENTLY PLEASE??!!!!! 6Apr 01, 2010 8:07 am Thanks guys, Well I think you have helped me decide on Dune!!!! Yay.... but Seast, now I am second guessing the Woodland Grey, actually not so much second guessing it because I know it will look good, but will Ironstone look better?? Your roof looks great. Seast- are your windows Dune or Silver?? Still not sure on this decision either. Today I am going for a drive to look at window frames! Yay- kids will be very excited!

Re: Help external colours URGENTLY PLEASE??!!!!! 8Apr 03, 2010 2:55 pm Have decided on Ultra Silver gloss for windows.... still unsure on garage door, facsia. Surfmist is out after I realised alot of the Surfmist garage doors I admired were Shale Grey. So is up between Shale Grey and Dune, unfortunately my builder tells me Shale Grey isn't a standard Garage door colour and would have to be powdercoated at an extra cost of $650!
