Hi, am planning on beginning the exterior painting next week and still haven’t locked down a colour. Have tried multiple light greys but have had the same issue as others with them looking blue or green. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Comments (14)Hi, I like the overall concept of the darkish grey, it suits the home. I am a colour consultant and have been working with the Dulux range for 17 years and you are on the right track with the Guild Grey. The Dulux Signature will give you a dark blue house. Another option if Simone Weil which is just a bit lighter than the Guild Grey, if you find that one too dark. Sample pots and A4 brush outs onto white cardboard are the best way to decide, because computer programs give an overall impression of the "look" but are not accurate with colour choices, you can't beat the human eye. All the best, it's going to look great....See Moreneed help deciding exterior paint colours
Comments (5)That colour reminds me of Colorbond Paperbark (Used to be Merino). It goes well with Woodland grey in my opinion. Could do gutters in that or the studio cladding. Are you wanting to go light, dark? For a similar tone, Dulux Beige Royal might be a good fit. It's difficult to tell colours online. They completely different from site to site and can change depending on what screen I'm viewing them on. Do you have a small piece of cladding with the yellow tone paint on it. You could take that into a paint store to get an idea of what it's called and what colours would suit alongside it. Some stores can even do a colour match scanning an item you bring in....See MoreHelp to decide colour bond roof to match existing red terracotta roof
Comments (3)Personally I'd use Manor Red. Probably won't see a lot of it anyway so if theres a discrepancy between Colorbond and tile it won't be as obvious. I'd also guess that the Manor Red would be a darker red than the terracotta tile? Could use Basalt for gutters and facias if you want a bit of grey perhaps?...See MoreHelp deciding what colour to paint external fascia
