Hello, any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Trying to go the white and black theme.

Hi all, I am currently building through Simmonds and stuck deciding on my exterior cement roof titles and brick colours. The front and fascade of the house is a pretty….

Surfmist house exterior

Selecting colours for an exterior scheme can be tricky, mainly due to people not getting the tone quite right. Colours perform so differently outside to inside and we often don't take into account quite how much impact the sun has on an exterior colour palette. Colorbond Surfmist sometimes gets a bad rap however, let me show you why using Surfmist as a trim colour can be a good idea. I wrote this article in April and it is all still relevant today. However, Colorbond has announced in late August that they have a new white — Dover White. This is a lovely crisp white which I would now often recommend for fascias and downpipes. Surfmist is in the high reflective range of the Colorbond colours. You certainly wouldn't want to go lighter than this for a roof. In fact many local councils won't even allow Surfmist as they say it produces too much reflective glare for neighboring properties. I do understand though when people want to use Colorbond for their gutters and facias but also want a very crisp white trim. I would never recommend having gutters any lighter than Surfmist as they simply become too grubby too quickly. However, if you do want a crisper white for the facia, you can consider using powdercoated metal or a classic timber board that can be painted. Before going to these lengths though, I think that you should look at the main colour of your house to see whether Surfmist suits as a trim colour for your home.

Cheaper to repaint the corner vs rest of home!

We are currently renovating our s brick home. Our plan is to paint the exterior brick white. Trims will also be white thinking a brighter white for some contrast , roof will be zinc and garage door will be colorbond surfmist. We will also have timber accents, including the front door vic ash and a deck at the entrance. We have tested the following shades - vivid white, terrace white and lexicon.

However there are rules to follow and I have some great tips to help you to select a colour scheme for your white exterior project that you will love. This pretty cottage has Dulux Antique White USA on the walls, which looks lovely as it is in shadow and you can really see the creamy underlying colour. The trim in Dulux Vivid White, which is in the direct sunlight and offers a nice contrast. Do not underestimate the impact that natural sunlight will have on a white exterior scheme. This changes significantly around the world as the natural light in England is very different to the strong unforgiving sunlight of Australia.

Samantha Bacon says: Hi Carlie presumably you wanted white windows to have more of a contrast so you might like to consider something like Dulux Lyttleton as this is a neutral cool grey. Samantha Bacon says: Hi Fiona and Ben glad you are finding the blog a good resource! In response to Jason. I think Surfmist is too light. What colour should I do the window frames?

The couple of places I saw with black windows looked dark -- remember there used to be a trend where girls did dark all around the eyes and Russell Brand did too I think and I thought it looked stupid -- thats what these houses look like IMO. Hi Josie I think you need a darker colour on the feature which will make the surfmist look more white. Samantha Bacon says: Hi Angela The Surfmist will provide a strong contrast but will also give the house a nice fresh lift. Pearl white Windows. Hi hannah I am currently deliberating on a very similar exterior white conundrum beachside 60s home. Mel says: Hi Samantha, I really enjoy your blogs and articles. However Im really struggling to pick the render bottom storey and weatherboard top storey greys. I totally understand your dilemma. Hi Sam. Kindest Regards, Elizabeth. Samantha Bacon says: Hi Jan I had to read through your note a couple of times to try to visualise the house. We are building in underneath our post war Queensland home. You also need to think about how you want to decorate inside as the white that you have for your windows will play a role there too. Our house is silkwort render first and weatherboard second with downpipes in monument as white is not manufactured? Thanks in advance!
