Ok, there is a colour I use frequently both for modern and traditional exteriors. It's a colored grey. Not grey with blue what so ever. It's more of a beige concrete tone. A coffee toned beige I fear would be too rich next to the cedar, all very warm and would overpower the street front. Muddy or dark tones will fit against the cedar and emphasize the orange-ness. Not so great and it will look dated. In keeping with cedar windows, the richness of the timber will warm the exterior quite a bit, and with terra-cotta roof,orange can dominate the facade. To reduce that, and compliment their richness, the neutral tone of urban grey counteracts that, and introduces a neutral overall exterior. Off hand, can say it's similar to a mortar colour. I urge you to sample a large area, not next to any yellow. So either paint inside a cardboard box, or undercoat around a window frame, and paint the urban grey in a large area to see it's colour change in all lighting.

Hi, I like the overall concept of the darkish grey, it suits the home. I am a colour consultant and have been working with the Dulux range for 17 years and you are on the right track with the Guild Grey. The Dulux Signature will give you a dark blue house. Another option if Simone Weil which is just a bit lighter than the Guild Grey, if you find that one too dark. Sample pots and A4 brush outs onto white cardboard are the best way to decide, because computer programs give an overall impression of the "look" but are not accurate with colour choices, you can't beat the human eye. All the best, it's going to look great.

Framed corrugated iron shutters left natural would be my preference, colour might be a bit 'try hard' and natural will sit in the environment more easily. Could even make barn doors with it if you prefer that look. The actual barn door fittings are the pricey bits I believe. Our cyclone was made of corrugated iron (by pro shelter builders) and it never ever budged (loud though) so a bit of coastal? wind won't worry it. You don't have much wind going by photo's, all trees seem to be growing upright so a regular build will be fine.

Maybe paint facials white and put some white cladding in front gable so eye drawn to that not windows not a blue tinged white eg not dulux lexicon but warm white to go with cream blinds eg natural or polar white or grand piano 1/4 strength would also go nicely with woodland Grey and jasper - cb basalt also goes nice with woodland Grey maybe go 1/2 strength on walls as it’s a nice neutral black/Greywhixh would detract from purple tinge
