I have played with the visualizers but often find the example houses are more visually interesting than what I am working with. I am starting to think that after the extension there will be less 'wall' and so the colours won't be quite so unappealing Sorry its took me a while to get a photo of the house, turned out it to be quite difficult. The Left side of the house where the tank is will be the extension which will have large glass windows. The existing wooden decking is replaced and the steps moved. The new decking fence is strained wire with natural wooden top rail. All windows are being replaced with black aluminum frame. The front door moves to the new section and isn't front of house facing (left of the new steps). We are semi rural so I don't think a very pale colour will be wise as dirt and dust drifts to the house.

The roof is "Gully", and the walls are white, but you could use an off-white. You could find a place to use "Ground Pepper" (from the palette above) as an accent, and paint your front door "Pumpkin Pie". I know living in a semi-rural location the tendency would be to avoid white, but we live in a fully rural location and we have white (Colorbond "Surfmist") everywhere, and I've found it’s often the dark colours around our place that show up the dirt more than the light ones. Besides, suburban locations are often much more dirty than rural ones because of all the car exhaust and tire dust. Like ⋅ 1 comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Much a do about nothing.
