Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Sep 03, 2011 8:23 pm Hello, I am hoping to get some advice of render colour selection. We are looking to for two colours for the front facade. We have chosen Dulux Toffee Fingers for the front porch and pillars, we now need to choose another colour to the rest of the fascade. We were thinking about Dulux Warm Neutral or Dulux Tavern, keen to get people's thoughts. Externally, we have the following (photo attached): [IMG=http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6585/dsc04961n.jpg][/IMG] Face Brick - Austral Brick Homestead Tan - flush off white mortar Roof, Gutters, fascia - Monomont Windows - Colourbond Dune Front Door - Colourbond Dune / Glass Garage door - to be determined downpipes - to be determined Looking forward to your suggestions Re: HELP WITH RENDER COLOUR SELECTION PLS !! 2Sep 03, 2011 11:59 pm I think Toffee fingers is too similar to the brick work. I'd prefer to see a lighter colour like your Warm Neutral. What's going on the wall around the garage? And have you chosen a garage door?

What's going on the wall around the garage? And have you chosen a garage door? Hi d@n I haven't decided on the garage door colour yet, was waiting to select render colour first. It will be a panel door though. The garage wall will be rendered also Regards Re: HELP WITH RENDER COLOUR SELECTION PLS !! 4Sep 04, 2011 2:20 pm I agree with Dan Toffee Fingers is too similar to your bricks. Warm Neutral is a better choice, why not have the Warm Neutral on all 3 rendered walls with a black garage door to balance with your roof. Then a mid grey drive way.

You kinda need to know what you want for the garage so the two colours work together and with the rest of the facade. Each affects the other. Re: HELP WITH RENDER COLOUR SELECTION PLS !! 6Sep 04, 2011 10:08 pm Thanks for the advice Michelle and d@n, I'm reconsidering my use of Toffe fingers. I also like the idea on Monomont for the garage door, to match the roof. Will get myself some sample pots this weekend and experiment. If anyone has any other suggestions, keep them coming Re: HELP WITH RENDER COLOUR SELECTION PLS !! 7Jan 31, 2015 9:30 pm Hi there - would be interested to know what colours you ended up choosing?
