I need your expert opinion in regards to my Exterior colours. I choose them a while back, but im starting to second guess myself. Will it look all brown and blahhhh (blahh being the only way i can explain it hahah). Can you tell me if my colour picks are ok? and/or if you suggest any changes? To be bit more helpful, i'm thinking should i change the Gutters, downpipes and fascias to dune I've attached an Front Elevation pic VERY VERY VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!! Colours: Bricks - Austral tan Roof - Gun metal Gutters, Downpipes, Fascias - Jasper Windows - Jasper Garage - Dune Infill above garage - Dune Front door - Cafe Dior Front pier render - Dulux Rattlesnake Front study projection render - Dune Look forward to your reply, Bgirl Re: Exterior facade colours...Michelle please help?? 5Jul 13, 2011 3:56 pm I actually like your colours but I do like neutral tones Re: Exterior facade colours...Michelle please help?? 6Jul 13, 2011 6:52 pm I think maybe a lighter roof colour, say more of a Jasper colour? I don't mind your colours....

Hmm so a lighter roof color? I'm thinking bit like d@n, will Jasper roof make the whole house brown-y!? Ill find out what otheroptions are available though.. As for the gutters, fascias, downpipes keep them Jasper yea? I was inclined to changing them to dune, but wasn't sure if that was a good idea... Needed opinions re this? Driving around new estates, people have done all sorts of things, ie gutters and downpipes one colour while fascia different etc... I'm starting second guess myself. What does everyone prefer? Re: Exterior facade colours...Michelle please help?? 9Aug 11, 2011 3:42 pm Hi Michelle!!!! Help one last time, i promise!! So our build has started.. I ended up leaving the Jasper gutters, fascias and downpipes, along with Homestead Tan bricks.... but guess what? I'm second guessing my choice of render colours!! So far the house is very brown, refer pic: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ To remind you the render colour for portico is supposed to be: Dulux rattlesnake, while front study projection is Dune, Garage is Dune, and front door is Cafe Noir (a very dark chocolate brown)!! Yes I know everything is brown, and it makes me scared the rattlesnake will blend in too much with the bricks??? I'm happy to change to a lighter colour for renders? any suggestions?? Below is a pic of the display home with the same facade as ours. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Please help? Please? Re: Exterior facade colours...Michelle please help?? 10Aug 11, 2011 6:27 pm I’d like to keep the study projection in the Dune, that way it will balance with your garage door. Possibly try Dulux Shipwreck, its a shade lighter and I think goes better with your bricks.

But bad news is... I went into the showroom this weekend to look at 'Shipwreck' but they didn't have that render sample on hand I could still use it if I wanted too, however I just wanted to see it alongside my sample brick etc. Anyway, a few different render colour options the helpful ladies at showroom found were: Pale Parchment, Candlebark and Light leather... What do you think of these?? None of them are jumping at me, so can't decide....I need help Option 1 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Option 2 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Option 3 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Exterior facade colours...Michelle please help?? 15Aug 17, 2011 6:30 am The last one is the better out of the 3 samples. Make your own sample of the “Shipwreck” by just using a paint sample on a board, your after the colour not the texture, you know what the texture will look like.

Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3279 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature.
