Dear Houzzers,
Your invaluable advice needed. We’ve just had new windows and porch put in to our Edwardian House (see pics). I chose to have them sprayed in RAL 1000 and I like the colour but it’s yellower hues than I was expecting. We need to repaint the exterior and I was hoping for some ideas on colour to try to minimise the yellow and bring out the green? Colourhappy... again your advice would be much appreciated!! It’d have to be light tones as we live on a street with all light coloured houses...
Many many thanks in advance!

Comments (9)Some really great visual leads there ACOF! Thank you kindly. The last three show me just how lovely the alu windows will look in grey from the inside as my living space interior walls shall be on the white spectrum. I need to thank you all already. Why? Because you have helped me realise in just a little over two hours that I don't actually want to paint the outside of my house grey at all! And moreso that I love the dark wood with the brick. I think that the early images I had in my mood-board had me stuck on this grey tip as I saw so many orange doors (which I am getting) paired with grey. What I really want is a very light grey as an **accent** colour for the exterior of the house such as bay window box and door frames. And definitely a dark anthracite grey for my window frames. Does anyone have an idea of how I can achieve something like this lighter tone of wood for my own exterior without recladding? There has to be a way of making the wood at least a shade or two lighter...And also paint suggestions for a very subtle grey for trims (like the floor decking colour in 'A small retreat pic) would be much appreciated....See MoreHelp with colour for exterior render and new front door.....
Comments (16)Thank you Colorhappy, I was secretly hoping you would comment as you clearly know all about colour, something I definitely struggle with a little. I think your suggestion of a stone colour for the render and a green blue for the doors would look lovely, and I love the idea of it relating to the greenery in the garden. Do you have any suggestions for a stone colour? I have looked at F&B for the green/blue, they have a paint actually named green/blue, but I am not sure if this is too much of a literal interpretation of your advice :-) I also like the oval room blue too, do you think this could work? I love Stiffkey blue, but not sure if this is too rich/deep a colour and would end up looking dark? The front of the house faces north but still gets lots of great light, the house is elevated somewhat so it is never in shadow if that makes any difference to our choice of colour?...See MoreHelp.

Comments (7)This was in 2011, when we just started renovating. Top windows are new (ral7039), walls ral9010. You see the neighbour on the right has bright white, the attached on the left some creamy tan. (Landscaping credits go to previous owner..) Don't have many new photo's, but this was a few months ago, when we had the front door and livingroom window done too (pvc): Lower edge on the wall still needs some paint.. And landscaping hasn't been done yet either, but we did take out the dug in roof tiles.. (plus we're slow renovators LOL no stress)...See MoreCan anyone help with advice on exterior paint colours?

Thanks again everyone for your invaluable advice!
