Paint house exterior black?
So I went and started painting our exterior 1/2 strength tranquil retreat! Our whole plan was for grey walls, white trim & monument roof.
My husband quickly realised that 3 other houses in our street are the exact same and is now pushing for something bolder.
He wants a black house. I mean like everything black except for the deck. Has anyone had any experience with this or some examples they’ve seen? Looking for a very flat black? Iv seen some photos of dulux black which look quite good. Anyway I think I’m just asking is this crazy to do to a renovated rendered house in Australia 😂

Advice on paint colour for exterior of house
Comments (30)I was just thinking.... looking at the photos.

This is a big decision so wor taking the time to consider as it will have such a dramatic effect on the look of the house....See MoreDark Home Exterior Paint - Does anyone have recommendations
Comments (1)Hi Lisa, Some great ideas in the link. We have done one house in Brisbane a long time ago. Don't have any photos, but it did make a statement in the street. Very impressive especially if there are gardens around with the green foliage contrast. You're on a winner if you go dark. Wattyl have a lot of good colours as does Resene. Maybe a Colour Consultant can help with ideas for a couple of hundred dollars. Money well worth spending....See MoreExterior Paint Colour for 2 Story Weatherboard House
