Gutters woodland grey fascia woodland grey This way you wont have to pay that exorbitant variation fee. or door purple window wall purple portico bushland downpipes dune? Gutters woodland grey fascia woodland grey Thanks That gives me more to chew on...sounds nice!! one thing though.... I already have my downpipes in woodland grey I almost went a light colour (dune) but I was talked out of it by the colour girl...she said it would look odd going in front of the woodland grey. But I have seen the gutters since then and they drop down directly under the gutters don't they? either way to change the door or the gutters I'd be up for a variation I think But I like those choices....how do I chose now? lol Re: What colour render to use?? 24Oct 27, 2009 4:06 pm Go with your gut feel, you know what you like and will have to live with them. I do like Woodland Grey though and Dune. Whatever you choose you will love because it is your house Harribeka Re: What colour render to use?? 25Oct 27, 2009 4:28 pm If you already have the downpipes in HG then dont stress - it will look fine! If you love your purple then do your window wall render purple. Do the portico in the paler shade of the Woodland Grey Hopefully Michelle will come online soon and give you her thoughts.

The Galaxy with Macquarie facade by Young Homes Re: What colour render to use?? 26Oct 28, 2009 9:50 am Well I have just changed my downpipe colour to be Dune as well. I rang up to ask what colour they had put down for my meterbox because it hadn't been brought up and he said it would be Dune. So I asked for the downpipes to be the same tricky lol So...If we start with a clean slate and forget that the door is purple. What colours would you chose 1. door 2. portico 3. window wall My door isn't flash, its just a standard solid door with no glass in it. Thanks everyone - I can't beleive how hard this is!! Re: What colour render to use?? 27Oct 29, 2009 4:10 pm What is the norm with render colours? Do most people have the darker render on the portico and then a lighter one on the window wall...or vice versa? Went and got 4 colour pots today, have found some nice ones.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm wanting a colour for the portico area and another for the wall where the windows are. I was orginally not going to have render so thats why I chose the purple door, otherwise I would have had purple ont he portico. so I'm not afraid of a splash of colour, but don't it to be a eye sore either lol Any suggestions?? I'm having a real hard time picturing it Thanks I'd go darker on the portico. More inviting I think.
