I think white walls would make the jarrah a feature, maybe antique white

Timber and brick house built in the 70’s. All exterior trims originally painted Mission Brown plus colorbond on garage doors. Updated in the 90’s repainted with lighter sand colour to match bricks. Another paint job required for 2018... what paint colour would suit modern ideas? Fascias have been replaced and undercoated. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks

First, I would try painting the awning the same shade a the house colour to tone down its dominance. For me it is like a far too bushy eyebrow. Then see how the gutters’ colour sits in the landscape. Then start adding highlights, including front door and its screen surrounds, then planting. The need is for more contrast and interest. Maybe some big colourful pots on the right had side of patio. You have a magnificent tropical oasis. It has great possibilities to be styled as a contemporary tropical Asian house and garden where the house blends into the tropical garden.

I like the colours you’ve suggested. I find neutrals restful. Do you have a sample of your cabinetry? An easy way to get a coordinated look, without whites clashing, is to have the white colour matched at the paint shop to the cabinetry. The colour match will tell you if White Beach is on the right track. I’d consider a more plainer white for the trim ie Natural White as suggested above or Berkshire White. For your splashback - could the budget stretch to the benchtop material? If not a tile colour that picks up one of the benchtop fleck colours will give you a coordinated look. Sounds lovely.
