The front of the house face south. The colour that appeal to me is from light grey/greige to white. I am not into dark colours. My issue is that my fascia is surfmist colorbond in colour and i have white windows. In an ideal situation, I would have loved for my fascia to be white too. My last resort will be to paint the fascia but that will void the warranty on the colorbond. Hope to find a solution soon. Thanks product: http://colorbond.com/colour

Go nuts with sample pots and gaze at the colours throughout the changing daylight! I wanted a soft, fresh backdrop for greenery and used 'white disclosure', a British paints colour, but mixed in Taubmans (prefer Taubmans quality over dulux) , it is a really beautiful 'white' that looks fresh but not at all stark. I started with very 'white' sample pots and was surprised at how awful (and bright!) they looked and that 'white disclosure' actually appeared a muddy brown against them.

Thanks Anne and I will look at pale grey given the maintenance considerations. I have already paid for a colour consultant who was great but the Reckless grey she suggested for the house render and basalt gutters/fascia and front wall were too grey when we had the render samples put on and while it had a modern look, it was not giving the beach/coastal feel. I will head back into our inspirations paint store this morning to see if I can find the warm grey colours that have the most similar colour make up to Dune, and go from there. Anne you don't happen to know the dulux colour most close in composition to Colorbond Dune so I know where to start? Thanks again and I would love to hear from anyone who has got a dune roof and hear if they tried light coloured gutters and what render colours they have used on their walls.

House is in Wagga, usual 1 level, on a flattish section, lounge and bedroom at front plus double garage.
