Browse Forums Building A New House Re: The building begins....**updated** 16Jul 20, 2008 9:38 am Personally I like No 2.
Im a big jasper fan, we have it on our house and I am having a shed made in it. It is a warm colour. As for yoour front door - I think Jasper would be too much, are you game enough to go red? Paula Re: The building begins....**updated** 18Jul 20, 2008 1:26 pm I prefer no. 1. But on my screen the bushland looks really green. (more like Wilderness from the colour bond chart).
If you're worried about going too dark, what about going the lighter colour on the garage door and the feature wall as they are the blocks of colour. Or matching the garage door to the fascia and guttering and having the feature wall as a stand alone bold colour. Just probably confusing you more. Try windspray for fascia, guttering and garage door, shale grey or surfmist for rest of render and Woodland grey for the feature wall. Then if the feature wall is a stand alone colour, it could also be your front door colour? I'm using samples from a brochure so they may be way off from actual samples. So ignore me if they look rubbish. And I know I've suggested a render colour that wasn't on your list. Sorry. I'm pretty crap at externals, so maybe no help. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself.

Well I love red, DH on the other hand doesn't! But what do you think of this.... Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We will be changing the doors a bit later down the track anyway....I love the pull handles and glass in the doors and we cant get these, on this house, through the builder. I was thinking yellow door, to go with the brown.... (he did say he didnt care about what it looked like!) but DH said NO, he on the other hand, suggested black...with white stripes That was a NO from me too hehehe I think we are going with #2...after looking at the colours in the sun (after all the rain we've had) and asking the neighbour (mrs jessup ) we decided that the jaspar and dune look the best, and ditching the woodland grey for 'weathered copper'....its a bit darker than jaspar, but not quite as dark as the roof. Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess.
