Garage door colour, match wall to blend in or gutters or roof?
Comments (20)The stone is from YDL Stone called Kalala Shan. I wanted caesarstone calacatta nuvo but that would have broken the bank! This one still has that marble look I wanted but it's actually a warm base more off white, goes well with wood and the trouble I am having is which grey to put it with in the bathrooms! I was thinking light grey with off white...where did you get your tile from?...See MoreExternal wall colour to match Woodland Grey gutters/fascia
Comments (13)@jactheshe, it would be very hard to imagine. Even digital photos of the colours together can look so different. And depending on how your house is situated & how the light plays on it, that changes things again. I was looking at a picture online of a house using woodland grey with colorbond dune. The dune colour looked completely different to the colour card on the charts. If you have some large lightweight boards around, I suggest painting them out with colours you're considering. Or getting a large sheet of foam core from office supplies or sign companies and using that. It would be light enough to attach temporarily on the facade & give a better idea of which colour works. That way the angle how the light hits the colour is accurate....See MoreWhat colour roof & gutters ??
Comments (17)Beautiful view Jane, gosh you're on the side of a mountain no? Yes if left natural the cedar will weather to grey but to me that looks weathered & dry & possibly not in keeping with your house style. I still like the red door & think the cedar weatherboards look to be in good condition. I would start by painting the gutter & fascia in the graphite, then the pergola as well & lose the cinder if that is the light colour. Funny thing, I live in a pole home too but without your amazing views!...See MoreHelp with roof, gutter and garage door colours
Comments (6)I'd go Monument or similar for the gutters , the barge boards around the roof , the timber above the front door , AND the fence to the left ( okay , charcoal stain for that , but most people would guess that ) . I guess I should say that yes , I'd do the roof in surfmist or a light silvery grey -- well , I wouldn't , but I'm guessing you wouldn't like my choice of terracota , so I'll assume you are going surfmist . That existing garage door colour is roughly halfway between surfmist and monument , and I actually think it suits , so I'd keep that , but do the 3 window sills across the front in it as well . The windows I assume are powdercoated ali , and look to have a greenish tinge -- I'd keep that , or is they are easily paintable , maybe go the 'garage door' tone for the part that is recessed . I'd do big street numbers in stainless on the letterbox , maybe even get a signwriter to do a 'shadow' in the 'garage door colour' behind the stainless -- you could try and do it yourself , but I'm a bit OCD haha , and prefer to pay a professional $150 or so and get the lines really tight and accurate , but maybe thats just me . That leaves just one thing -- the entrance door . Me , I'd go Sunshine Yellow , but I guess most people would go an apricot , a mid red , even a light spearmint green if leaving the windows as they are . Add something that ISN'T any way related to grey ....See More- last month
