Your door supplier should have given you colour swatches of any of the Colorbond range of colours. The samples are relatively true to colour and you can quite decisively use them to narrow the choice down. Check out the Colorbond range of colours on our website (scroll down to "colours" and click on them) http://www.asapgaragedoors.com.au/garage-doors. Consider Ironstone as a first choice which looks like the blended colour of the driveway, or Woodlands Grey, Basalt, Jasper or even Monument. Keep in mind that lighter colours will stand out more against the brickwork while darker colours will recede and the doors will not dominate the look of the house. The white-backed curtains are a good example of how colour can be a distraction. On first glance at the photo, the curtains stand out. I would change the back of the curtains to a darker colour. If you can't find a Colorbond colour that suits, you can elect to have the doors powdercoated in any Dulux colour.

haha believe it or not, my garage door is still covered up in alucobond cover, so i haven't actually seen the colour yet and i don't want to peel it off just yet incase it gets damaged...Will wait til all the tradies have finished. Here is a photo of a section of my garden jocelyn lawry designs & colour - Not bland anymore??? :))

siriuskey, i am not a big fan of glass balustrades. It would've been an easier option to be honest! And still keeping an open mind about it. We have hard wearing and low maintenance plant in the box, like agaves and other kind perhaps. We are learning from our neighbour whose planter above garage (but theirs is on the deck, different to ours) has gone wild due to the selection of plants. Maintenance? did mean something else?

Look how wonderful your dark window frames and dark outdoor furniture look against the home. You only need one more colour for both the gutters and the garage door. I would choose basalt or monument Colorbond.
