Hi again- I have been looking at Benjamin Moores colors and have chosen a few you might look at. My technique for color choices is to buy several large sheets of MDF from the hardware and several paint samples that I think will work. Grab a plain white sample pot as well and just play with colors; if what you thought looked good in the shop and doesn't look good in reality, just add a bit of the white to lighten it and use the darker tones to deepen. Once you've found the color you like paint it on one of the large MDF sheets and live with it for a day or two and see how it looks morning,night, south side of building,northside of building. If the color that you like is one that you've mixed yourself, just go back to the paintshop as I'm sure B Moore would have the right shade so you can match it. Do you know the color name of the roofing? Is it IRONSTONE or MONUMENT? I'd be tempted to use that same color for the windows. My personal trick for contrast and trims is to take the main color and ask paint shop to make it up in 1/4 strength even lighter if need be. Good luck and post pictures when it's finished.

Oh wow, it looks fantastic! The black looks so striking against the white, not too sharp at all. Congratulations on the house, you must be very excited to move in. :)

I have the creative job in designing our new build house but I am struggling over choosing the joinery colour. We have very large windows and sliding doors in the front of the house. The siding is a colour steel with the colour Gull grey (light grey). I thought I wanted a light bronze colour but I am now worried that it may look brown next to the grey. Should I pick a contrasting colour of dark grey or should I keep it light?

Which would look better tiles or glass and what colour? Would it be best to cover the whole wall, half wall under the range hood or just between the range hood and cooker?
