Renovating house near a beach including new exterior covered in Linea weatherboard. Picture of design below.
Which Dulux white to use? We would like to use a crisp but not blinding in the sun white. Not too cream or beige or grey. Trim in Dulux vivid white hopefully stands out from main colour. Colorbond roof probably Slate Grey as will be the rendered garage. Houzzers suggestions welcome.

Which white? External render dilemma
Comments (26)Hi all, it's now 2020! I'm at render stage and would love it to be white but the renderer I spoke with this morning said to think long and hard about 'white! as it gets dirty very easily especially taking into account the recent dust-storm, not to mention the ash and smoke from the ongoing bushfires. I would like to know: how your respective white renders are coming along in regards to appearance, staining and maintenance; and what type of render and render finish do you have? I am looking at a sandy Rokcote acrylic render. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!...See MoreExterior Paint Colour for 2 Story Weatherboard House

Comments (39)As soon as I see greys and off-whites as main colours , without something to add that Wow , I sort of wonder Why , but thats just me . No-one is offended at Charcoal , it ties in with most colours , its safe , but it adds to most overall schemes . My only real worry with charcoal is that it may get to be what Mission Brown or Forest Green became -- so overdone and tacky that everyone hates it ! A violetty blue , or bright red , or sunshine yellow is more polarising , and natural timber or stacked stone are outside some peoples budgets , but I always like to add something that is just a bit upmarket or bright or unexpected . Your place is sounding like 80% of new builds , whereas a bit of thought and $5k more could give it that extra attention IMO ....See MoreTimber door on largely white coastal exterior
Comments (17)Know what I love about Houzz? How pottsy, dreamer, Kate, Mandoozle and I, and almost definitely Mark and Kym, can all have different, or even opposing, opinions and yet appreciate, and learn from, each others styles. My softest of blues and timber home couldn’t be further from the vivid colours pottsy prefers but those colour choices gave me the inspiration for our backsplash, which gave our kitchen just the lift it needed. A comment of dreamer’s, even though it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, made me rethink introducing another texture into the living area and I thank dog every day. And Kate’s design touch…well, what can I say…love,love, love and pinched multiple times. I’m new to Mandoozle, Mark and Kym but look forward to future interactions. Serious this is the best SM app out there...See More
