That colour was f&b stony ground which is actually red based but I think must have some green in, I thought it would work with the terracotta tiles. Something like the lighter shaded white may also work although colours are normally a couple of shades lighter on the exterior. The previous owners of our house painted it farrows cream, I swear it gets more yellow each day! I don’t know anything about the render tbh but I don’t think it needs any maintenance for 20-30 years hence the initial application cost is dearer. I’ve attached this link as I’ve come across a few similar comments (but as I say I don’t know anything about the render and you’re always going to get negative reviews of things). It might be worth creating a separate post on traditional versus through coloured render if you have any concerns? http://www.ebuild.co.uk/topic/15160-traditional-render-v-k-rend/

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)

Thank you for your reply. Every house on this road seems mix designs so we just want something warm and welcoming. The neighbors near us is rather looks a bit bland. We also planned to stay here for a long time to come.

We recently replaced ours after lots of back and throwing with designs. we wanted grey but decided against due to contemplating with how long they'll "stay fahsionable". In the end we went with white & decided to not have the diamond lead this time wheich we thing made them look more modern and lighter inside. We used a really useful website www.windowsplusonline.co.uk where we were able to design them ourselves to suit what we wanted. They do offer a range of colours and designs and as someone said above grey exterior and white interior also seemed a really good idea. Sorry would upload pictures but computer isn't letting more for some reason.
