help choosing a roof colour
Hello wonderful people. We love our new home and are looking to paint the very faded & patchy roof and concrete driveway. What colour would you all recommend?
It was a light blue but open to suggestions.

Which colour would you choose for this roof reno?
Comments (4)There is a Dulux colour called iron sand that depending on the light can throw both chocolate and liquorice green which would work with your brickwork - You could probably do the same with the guttering. You should be able to get a chip from a roofing specialist and try it against the bricks. You could also take your lead from the colour of the tiles on the windowsills. Drive around your neighbourhood and see what you like. good luck...See MoreChoosing colour bond roof colour to blend in with terracotta tile roof
Comments (6)Hi there Mary, that's something I hadn't thought of re painting the ridge tiles, I had thought to replace them with the grey, it would depend on the condition of the ridge do they need re setting, this would be a good time to replace rather than fiddle with painting, Woodland Grey is a classic Colour Bond, Gully a bit lighter. Your Roof is a strong red colour, I would get a sample of both grey colours, if you have a spare red tile take it with you to look at samples good luck...See MoreHelp!

Comments (65)Thank you so much, Julie. I thought you would be interested in the end result, given how much encouragement and advice you so generously gave me. :-) I do love it. It has made such a difference and I think (fingers crossed) the landscaping will give it the finishing touch. We are reroofing the pergola, so will post photos when that is completed. The gazebo looks great after its facelift, too....See MoreHelp choosing external roof colours

last yearAgree a light or white Colorbond roof would be my suggestion. Is there a reason why you wish to paint the concrete driveway? Does it just need a good clean? The style of home is just “a home built in the 90’s”. No particular style. I always think this architecture reminds me of the rows and rows of house in Las Vegas. I describe this architecture design of 1990 homes as Vegas homes. All look very similar, just with some faux additions. In your houses case, the round vents.
