As we are restricted to RAL colours and looking for pale blue with hint of grey can anyone suggest which shade to use? And what contrasting colour should we use for the front door?

Hi , just in the process of finishing a self build in Kildare and looking at options for softening the appearance of the front of the house. Originally we had burnt wood cladding (per 3d model images attached) but took them out for budget reasons. regretting that a bit now and difficult to retrofit cladding without risking damage to plaster so looking at what options or ideas people might have to break up the front, even at this stage. Thanks in advance

Is there any way to stop timber cladding going grey? Or is there a good alternative to timber cladding which has minimal maintenance??

I think its beautiful. It adds warmth and charachter. I think you should leave it but paint the rest if the house
