Hey!

I am building the same house but probably with Clifton facade.

We have some similarities

I was looking at the Brown Terrain bricks, although the people at Boral couldn't give me any addresses to look at them at...

I think they will go nice with the paperbark.

My roof tiles wlll most likely be maquarie in gunmetal too, unless they can give me a great price for the striata

Gutters/fascia/downpipes I am also having in woodland grey, I think I remember Mich saying it is good to have them and roof tiles all one colour - more uniform, so you are on the right track there I think

Front door is also the same as mine...I am no colour expert but I would maybe suggest a lighter colour against the dark bricks....maybe the paperbark too...I recall P has a Paperbark door in the same style and it looks really good

As for the render I don't really know what colour that is, I have also tried to get colours off the Rockcote website with no luck....

Overall I think you have done a great job - should look really good

Hi hysterical1144.

10 points to you for supplying all the links to your selections!!!!

This all looks good to me.

The reason why you won’t find a colour on the Rockcote site is because they supply the product not the colour! That’s someone else’s!

Do you know who makes that colour? Dulux..Taubmans exct??????

Boral in Thomastown did give me an address to look at the Brown Terrain bricks (i think it is in Epping). Call Boral again to ask.

Cheers

Sorry but the PD color selection centre only indicated that it is a Rockcote Dry Creek and with no mention of the color manufacturer.

What do you think of my front door color ? Is it too dark ?

Cheers

No, it should blend with your roof tiles.

When selecting colours it’s always good to have a flow of colours.

I think you have done this, front doors should stand out….IMO.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. We were trying to make the front door stand out but was worry that it would be too dark.
