Can anyone help identify the render colour of this fence?

Hi there

The cladding colour in the photo is Dulux Drive Time. Can anyone advise the render colour of the fence & the render colour of the far right column (underneath the cladding)?

Many thanks

Thankyou everyone for your advice. I managed to track down the Architect and they advised the cladding colour is Dulux Drive Time and the render on the fence is White Duck.

Sorry, but you must be joking. (April first is tomorrow)

To be fair if you are serious? Chip a flake off each and get it analyzed, I know automotive do this for car paint, they have technology for matching paint colours.

Thanks. I really love it but have been unable to find anything similar so we'll likely have floorboards once we renovate.

Help with choosing render colours

I had my house rendered last year. To decide on colour, I first drove around looking at rendered houses, to get a feel for the colours & tones I preferred. Then I used the "Paint Your House" program on the Dulux website. You can either look at their various "stock" houses, or upload a photo of your OWN house. Then, using their colour selector & painting program, you virtually "paint" your house, so you can see what it will look like when done. Once I'd narrowed it down to a couple of colours, I got sample pots in full-tint, half-tint, and quarter-tint. Painted sheets of papers with them, and stuck to outside house, so I could see what the wall colour would look like during various times of day / sun vs shade /etc. It was a bit stressful worrying how it would look when finished (since I went a deep ocher gold), but I'm thrilled with the result.

Hi Sarah I absolutely think what you have suggested is perfect. I love Paperbark for the mouldings and the double strength for render. The brick you chose is awesome. I think you've got it sorted. How exciting! All the best. Regards Lisa PS. I love the elevation.

The underside and edges of the concrete balconies in "Ironstone" or "Ticking". If you paint the balcony railings in the same colour or black, they will visually disappear and you will be able to see onto the balconies and inside the apartments. By painting the railings in light colours like white, whitish grey, or a light colour similar to the bricks, the street viewer's sight will be stopped at the railing. This will provide a modicum of privacy on the balconies. For the fence, an orange/ochre will tie-in with the apartment's brick colour. i.e. a warm grey with red or ochre tint in it. The pillar crowns and the capping bricks on the wall in Ironstone/Ticking. Or you could just paint the whole fence in Ironstone or Ticking. If graffiti is an issue in the area, dark colours may attract it. My inner city Perth front courtyard rendered brick fence is a burnt orange and has never been graffitied but the gas meter box which is painted Ironstone always gets targetted. To get an idea of the visual effect of colours, look at the two cars parked out the front. You tend to look "at" the white car on the left (a blocking colour), but you look "through" the dark car on the right and it tends to "disappear" from sight.

Thanks Rhonda - yes it was a serious question, my apologies, I am new to this site & didn't think my question would be considered a joke. Thanks for your advice - unfortunately I only have a picture of the house from the internet - I haven't seen it in person. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi Kerri,
I’ve had this frustrating problem before!
Can I ask, how do you know the colour of the cladding? Did you find the image on the dulux website? If so, you could try a google image search and see if any other posts come up with the render colours used. Otherwise try contacting the site you source the image from. Sounds like would likely be another dulux colour, you could try contacting dulux to see if they can help.
Sorry there no easier way :)
Good luck.

Thanks for the great advice. The cladding colour was through someone else asking a question about the picture. I have tracked down the designers of the house & will send then am email regarding the colour schem used - I am not sure how forthcoming they will be. I will definitely try a google image search. Thanks for your help

With a million variations through a million computer screens you will get a million suggestions and very confused while no closer to your answer. You have to do the work yourself and either get a colour match to a chip the min of a 50c piece or buy a Dulux or Taubmans fan deck and select a colour as close as you can. Alternately get a professional painter or decorator to use their fan deck or atlas to colour match for you and be prepared to pay them for their time.

Looks a little like Shale Grey and Windspray to me. Good luck, I hope you find out =)

Exact color won't be that much of a matter, but for sure it is in a hue of gray to white.
