The grey on the western wall looks dark and purplish on my monitor. It may come over as too imposing and monolithic on the southern face. If you're sticking with the grey palette then a warmer tone would suit the sandstone better. Does Dulux have a colour palette recommendation that includes your Berkshire White plus a grey? Check online or in store pamphlets. But, for such a big, expensive, and impactful paint job I would actually be tempted to get a colour consultant. You're not just repainting a loungeroom wall if it doesn't work!

Hi! We've just been through this issue and like you I initially chose a lighter colour, as I wanted a stone/sandstone look and chose Dulux Tully Grey. We tried it out and it was TERRIBLE! So our painter suggested a darker colour, Basalt which I think is a Berger Jet Dry colour.....Also YUK! It looked blue on our place. Back to the drawing board. We ended up with and are EXTREMELY happy with Dulux Grey Cabin mixed into a Berger Jet Dry non slip paint. I don't have photos yet but it was difficult to get a match with a lot of timber balustrading being painted in Hog Bristle 1/2 and accents of Monument (its almost black) all this against those colonial sandstock type bricks... I don't envy you but dont give up! My suggestion is to get as many sample pots of paint as you can....paint large sheets of paper and fling them around in different spots, during different times of the day, in sunny spots and in full shade. Bearing in mind, concrete paint will be flat and not semi gloss like the sample pots so a little imagination is key. Good luck!

I think a Dulux colour consultant would be a safe bet but obviously the confusion over kitchen colours needs to be resolved first.

Funnily enough , I think the whole house already looks too dark , and I think the bricks and the roof are actually a good base , but again just personally , the windows used to close in the garage I would have liked to do in say surfmist or silver just to lighten things up . Maybe not for good reasons , but the lighter concrete below those windows is the first thing I noticed -- I realise it will presumably get covered or painted , but I noticed it because it is lighter in tone . The green fence doesn't help , and I'd do it in charcoal , which might sound 'silly' with what I said about the windows , but to do just the fence in a lighter silver or white or off-white would look 'weird' -- you want the house to be noticed , the fence less so . So what else ? Maybe a bright front door , or even a natural cedar or lighter -- make it a feature , at present it just blends/blands in . Maybe 2 or 3 large bright orange or yellow 'ali baba' glazed pots with vibrant spikey plants , bamboos , etc positioned right along the front -- large pots at least 60cm x 80cm to get noticed ! Just my thoughts .
