Colour schemes should generally blend in with the natural surrounds such as: green/greys - bushland; sands/whites beach/seaside. Consider also your existing substrates. Look at the colours of your bricks, roofing, guttering, windows, fencing, garage doors, pools, tiling. Think about the features of your home which you would like highlighted. You may need to review Council restrictions, such as heritage listed areas which limit the choice of designs and water restrictions in some areas. Consider the position or direction in which the home faces. North facing will have strong sunlight througout the day; south facing will be dimly lit. Remember that colours under direct sunlight will always appear lighter. Don’t be afraid to choose darker tones on your exterior. Similarly colours which are high in chroma will appear brighter. Exterior schemes are usually greyed down. Whether you are using Colorbond® steel colours in your garage doors, framing, roof tiles or fencing, it is important to match your driveway colour to that scheme.
