Hi Laura, does your builder do a colour consult with you where you can select colours and see how they work together with your chosen facade? I'm just wondering if you could take the photos of exterior colour schemes you like to their design consultant and then they can run it through a computer design/colour selector so you can see it? (We'll be doing the same in a few months and I'm really excited!!)

Hi Laura, I love the idea of checking your current paint samples ... sounds like something I would do too ;) I think Dulux have a visualiser app/website where you can upload a picture - I think you can select colours from your current photo and it will give you an idea of the best colour match (which might help you determine the paint colours in your current photos) and also do your own make over by selecting colours you like and applying them to your layout - I'm not sure how accurate it is but could be worth a little play to give you a start in which direction to head in?

From my experience, surfmist roof can get dirty very quickly in summer and in humid weather. I'd go shale grey or windspray (the latter can throw slightly blue).
