If you seek a modern look for your house, then I can recommend our Ebony range. These bricks are very smooth and have unique dimensions. Alternatively, if you want to mix things up and put some really stone like looking bricks in as features, then our Tierra range will work for you - thinking the Toledo or the Bilbao. They will be the colours that suit. These bricks are really unique. Handmade, incredibly textured and varied. Have a look at these options and see if it helps.

Ah - this takes me back to the 70s, when I decorated my teenage bedroom around a bedspread with this blue and green combination! So .... very retro and cosy. For me, it's a better cold climate or winter colour scheme. I like it, but think I would tire of it more quickly than a more neutral scheme.

Your new home looks fabulous! Congratulations from the Team at North! I am a visual person so I hope you don't mind me adding some photos to help explain colours. Your home has more yellow brick then red like these homes. However the dark grey, light grey and white framing works well with the brick creating a modern clean look. Darker grey for roof, light grey timber/cladding on top level and light grey down stairs around the smaller square windows. You could add a window frame, to frame the windows in light grey/white around the yellow windows or just leave them as they are. Painting aluminum is not recommend unless you get the professionals in. If you wanted to use panels instead of timber have a look at James Hardie cladding - 13 11 03 is the contact number - They have a fabulous products that give you cladding with a paint finish that will outlast any timber you put on your home and is low maintenance. Need to check with the local council as to what roof colours are aloud some don't allow to dark because of cooling costs. Its suggested you pick 3 colours to keep it unified. Its a personal preference what colours you like? Below the white and blue grey looks amazing! Please let us know what you choose. A project is always exciting.

My understanding of colours is that all greys either have a red (ie brown/warm) undertone or a blue cool undertone. Have you just chosen two shades of grey with opposing undertones? This will be more obvious if you put something purely red vs pure mid-blue. Try painting the two colours on a piece of A4 paper and holding it up next to different cool or warm colours inside the house under different lighting. I went to the Dulux site and the colour mix for Ito is Colour Values R:102 G:104 B:112 (more Blue) and for Wayward grey it is Colour Values R:63 G:60 B:62 R & B are basically the same. Not sure that helps, but for each colour, Dulux give similar colours that they suggest as pairings. Maybe decide which of the greys you prefer and then go with one of the Dulux compliments???? I think the colours look lovely, but I don't know what effect you are after.
