Help needed with exterior colours
We are building a coastal home. Council DA requirements stipulate the Solar absorptance rating be between 0.475 - 0.70 which limits our choice of colours to Windspray or Basalt. We will have Scyon Linea board on the upper floor and rendered brickwork on the lower floor. Can someone help me with choosing exterior colours please for fascia, gutters, upper and lower floors and garage? Also what colour window frames (white or black/charcoal or grey). Thanks so much.

6 years agoYour designer should be able to make some suggestions. If you were my client I would suggest the "Windspray" for the roof, gutter and downpipes. I would use Colorbond "Surfmist" for your fascia to contrast the gutter, and match this with a paint colour for the upper Scyon Linea board as the upstairs is the largest visual element and you don't want to make it seem top heavy.
For the downstairs render I would bring in "Basalt" as a paint, and match this with a garage door in the same "Basalt" colour, to visually anchor the base.
Verandah posts I would do in Basalt, with window frames in black, and a front door in a aqua/teal.

Comments (8)I would go for a stone colour so not too dissimilar to what you've got. Little Greene does a good stone colour too but will work out a bit expensive. This is Oxford stone by farrow and ball. If you were doing the windows and front door then maybe an old white with door and windows in french grey...See MoreUser

6 years agoI've post some drawings of the other elevations. As you can see, the upper floor will be pretty much level with the backyard. Glass balustrade at the front with a wooden deck at the back (probably with wood posts and wire - sorry, not sure what it's called).

6 years agoThis is it at the moment. The bottom is yet to be texture coated and will be in shale grey the same as the cladding. Hopefully it will look ok.
