Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Sep 18, 2012 9:44 pm HELP!!!!!!! Painting is due to start on our very old, outdated, flaking weatherboard/fibro home this week and I am completely stumped and very under-prepared now it's comes to choosing colours. The roof is a brown cement tile (will eventually have the roof painted) and the exterior blinds are colorbond deep ocean. The blinds will be staying. My idea is to go with a light grey for the walls, dark grey for the gutters, white eaves and trim. Should I have the fascia the same colour as the walls, eaves or gutters?? Should I also have the aluminium cover over the blinds painted too? And the front door white or the dark grey? Colour names would be greatly appreciated, as would any other suggestions!
