Our titles were settled on the 24 June (paid deposit inSeptember), soil testing done, came back quicker and cheaper than expected, and today we signed some contracts.
Next week we are having our pre-start meeting and I need a little help with colours...... as I am seriously colour-UNcoordinated.
Our brick colour its "burnished red" and as I have said before, I found it to be the least ugliest of the 6 bricks we get to choose from. Roof tile is 'vienna', graphite in colour, only got 4 tiles to choose from, and again least ugliest. Our mortar is cream, and the windows will be white lustre. Our fence is 'wheat' (estate rules)
The part I need serious help on (as it needs to be decided for pre-start) are: colours for gutter/fascia,front render, garage door and front door.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/jericoholicau/2611447192009581.jpg roof tile....It looks blackish sometimes but mostly it looks like a dark chocolate colour. Before getting a sample tile I thought black as gutter colour, I now think it would be too dark, what colour now though? Also I dont think our builder is keen on painting 2 colour for gutter/fascia.

Other half is no help at all...He just says "choose what you want".... he has no concern at what the outside will look like at all

I just dont want it to end up like some of the houses I have seen......red roof/green gutter/cream fascia/black windows/red brick...I think "what the?", but know that I am likely to make the same mistake

Any help will be very much appreciated.
