External Colour Selection

Colour selection is not easy, for us at least! We are hoping that the scheme in the table below will work with the style of our house.

The motivation for the scheme was basically shades of grey.
(Which is very much what the pre-contract signing stage was like for us!)

Advice for choosing external house colours include:

• Drive through areas with similar style houses
• Visit display home centres
• Ask your builder for house elevation plans, then use Microsoft Paint to play with different colour schemes
• Use visualisation tools from paint vendors, for example http://www.dulux.com.au/colour/mycolour.aspx
• Ask your builder which paint vendor they use, buy a few sample pots, then paint as large a surface as possible and view it in various shades of light
• Search/Ask for colour advice and photos of houses on a building forum such as http://forum.homeone.com.au/
• Read magazines and search the internet for photos – remember to keep your house style in mind
• Consult a specialist
