Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 26, 2020 3:23 pm Repost as i moved to correct section. We did our external colour choices this morning and ended up going against surfmist for our whites. In the studio it just didn't look white at all and more of a grey/cream colour. We ended up with: Roof/gutters/fascia - Monument Brickwork - Bluegum Windows - Pearl White Garage Door - Perisher White Feature render - Taubmans Brilliant White Still not 100% sold on the different whites vs surfmist but surfmist just seemed too far away from the "white" contrast we were looking for. Does anyone have any pictures of surfmist or pearl white garage doors with darker bricks they could possibly share?

I have to say we were concerened it would be too much of an off white but it is such a nice white once you see it outside and on a larger scale without being to stark.

Thanks for the reply and thanks for posting the image! Yeah I've heard a few people say the same thing regarding the surfmist. Managed to find a few example images online of the pearl white windows with the perisher white garage and it didn't look too bad in those images. Just keeps getting more and more difficult to commit to a decision.
