Hi Jat5475, I would keep it a neutral or lighter greys to keep the house looking timeless, however here are some great articles to help you choose : [The Best Paints and Colours Under the Australian Sun[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/the-best-paints-and-colours-under-the-australian-sun-stsetivw-vs~26316013) and [How to Choose Exterior Colours for a Show-Stopping Australian Home[(https://www.houzz.com.au/magazine/how-to-choose-exterior-colours-for-a-show-stopping-australian-home-stsetivw-vs~30507484). Hope that helps!

That's an interesting dilemma. I would be inclined to go with the dark grey chairs because: - the chairs will be under the table surface most of the time, so it shouldn't be "too dark" when combined with the dark grey sofa; - the dark grey should tie in well with the sofa; and - the dark grey will provide a nicer contrast with the concrete table surface. Does the store you're purchasing from have a returns policy? If you explained your dilemma, they may allow you to take one of each colour home to see which colour works best in the space. Alternatively, can you go to the store which stocks the table, see what other chairs they have in the showroom and see if there are some light grey and dark grey variations that you can try in the store?

I had the same problem too. I rang Dulux and had a paint consultant come in. I have chosen the white exchange full strength throughout the double story house as we have a lot of natural light with vivd white ceilings and WA white doors and trims. The bedrooms I have 1/2 strength white exchange with vivd white ceilings. I wanted my white kitchen to pop with the wall paint colour. Our kitchen cupboards are polar silk white with moose silk contrasting and ice snow bench tops. Hopefully it all blends with the spotted gum floorboards. We have not installed the kitchen yet. I hope it all comes together. Good luck.
