My only comment might be that monument is grey and a nice strong grey but Lexicon is blue based, so I'd look for a gray based white or builders white which apparently has very small touch of black in it albeit it is still white. I think this would keep the undertone matched. For instance, I love green and although I probably won't paint the interior of my home green, Whisper White has a slight green undertone, so even though it's still white, it has the colour tone that I like.

Hi Jenna, Have a look at Colorbond Evening Haze instead of Dune. If you go to a Masters store you can pick up The Wattyl Exterior Colour Solagard Brochure. When you open it up on one side of the colour chip centre page you will see the colours Monument, Surfmist and Evening Haze - this is the "Cool" colours side the other side where Dune is placed is the "Warm" colour side. When choosing colours try to stay with cool or warm tones to create a harmonious look.

I can't quite follow what you mean by 'we must keep the red roof' ? Are you not painting it , or repainting in the same colour , or would you consider a different shade ? Personally , with the White Duck , I'd go for a bolder red roof , with black or charoal gutterings , stay with the crisp white windows and veranda uprights , and the end detailing on the roof , but the window sills I'd do the same red shade as the roof , and the deck a mid grey . Oh , and also , although its cliche'd , I'd do a 1 metre tall white picket fence and double gates in the crisp white , get rid of the wire mesh haha , so everything about the house and fence looks crisp and themed , but also 'period' .

Hi HU- I was wondering if you had resolved your issue from 3 years ago? We are looking at Surfmist for our exterior weatherboards too. I think maybe because the roff is on metal and very reflective it would look a lot lighter than on the boards? Did you perhaps go lighter( say half) surfmist?
