Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jul 10, 2012 7:20 pm Hi Michelle, I heard lot of god things about you and I am wondering if you could provide some advise on which colours to choose for our external surfaces. We are very new to building and we are building our first custom design home in canberra. The hardest task I found is choosing the colours, could you please have a look at below images and suggest some colours. Any help would be much appreciated. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/52 ... ation.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/20 ... ation.jpg/ Following are the colour we are thinking of at the moment: Roof - grey but not too dark Gutter - Not sure but want to match with the window colours Windows - Mat finish aluminum colour Rendered portion - cream Garage - dark brown timber colour Door - dark brown timber Matrix cladding - light green, light shiny grey or timber colour to match the garange (bit worrried because it is quite a big portion from front and side view) We are loosing our sleep in finalising these colours, not knowing whether they go together or not. Please help us. Thankyou. Re: Help needed with external colour selection 3Jul 10, 2012 7:25 pm tiled or colorbond roof?
