Thankyou for your response. We live in Orange NSW which is one of the coldest places in NSW. Generally our summers are mild. We do get some hot days but rarely over 35c. However it could still be a problem. Will give it some thought. Problem is I really love monument. Cheers

No I haven't but I have used Dulux Whisper white and love it so much I am now using it on my new build. Nearly finished and it looks amazing. It's a big decision, maybe but a sample pot and paint a large piece of cardboard to move around.

A few things to consider here. Can you get a test pot and try it - if you can't do you have access to Resene as they have a full range of small testpots and many whites. I think the better option is to take a small container and add 1 tablespoons of breadcrumb and add 4 T of undercoat paint and mix and test on the door - this should pretty much approximate 1/4 breadcrumb to see the contrast. Remember doors have two sides and need to work with your other room colours so it may be better to pick a neutral that goes with all and can be used in other places in the house. Remember the door is currently white so consider which sample is closest to what the door is now and decide if you want it lighter or darker or whiter or ? You may need to get more samples - to save brining them all home you could match them at the hardware store where you got your door. but the light will differ Good luck

Hi Sandee, being a real estate business you will want to generate trust and professionalism. Therefore, garish colours - lime green - bright red - are probably out. Yes, they attract attention but it may not be from potential customers. I suggest a classy dark charcoal for the walls and a bright white for the windows, doors, and pillars. Add three large tubs, such as wine barrels, with good sized shrubs or small trees to appear more welcoming. Then add a nice sign with your logo and company colours. Good luck. Cheers, Penelope
