Keep your soffits white or take a risk and do them in the grey of the roof. If under eave lighting is installed the grey overshadowing looks divine. Painting both the soffits and the weatherboard both in dune won't actually allow you to differentiate a tone, as dune is a metameric colour and is viewed differently in different lint etc, it can be a weak shade. However, if the soffits are clean white the dune will have a stronger impact, which is what I'd do, or the grey would accent the roofline if it's architectural. However as your windows are also white I'd lean toward White soffits too. The fascia and gutter are best in the roof colour anyway, they are not particularly a feature, particularly if your roofline is gabled. If you want to introduce colour, do it on your front door. I will say reconsider white windows as they will tend to look unpainted next to the dune walls and a grey roof. If it's only featured on the soffits lining which doesn't count as a colour, the windows may just look undercoated. I'd do them grey also. As far as accent colour goes, most would work, however they would need to be low chroma, meaning not bold vibrant colours rather somewhat dulled down in brightness, so insteadof being orange a low chroma orange could be a terra-cotta. For example not saying do that. I like the idea of an ink blue.

Twould never say that. Saying it is just nice to be. would not want to be the alternative would you? Happy to be with aussies, and India Indians, and Americans, all of them, and europeans, and Afrikanis, and Asians, and most of all Polarites! If I left anyone out forgive me, this is wearing me out. Just for the roos on board. brewhaha! Poor little aussie op, she did not ask for this.

I'd rethink the red and cream colours. There are multiple threads here with people trying to change those exact colours. They are a bit dated but have what you love.

Thanks Clipsal. I like to avoid putting more into landfill as much as possible especially when you have great "bones" to work with. I believe the brushed chrome electrical cover plate is from you guys. I've recently used your products on another jobs. :) Detail, details - make a HUGE difference.
