Country cottage classic cream coverup

My design dilemma relates to the colour of our bush retreat which is colorbond classic cream with cottage green trim. One of my big issues is that I don't particularly want to repaint the aluminium windows which are classic cream. I have sampled Dulux Hog's Bristle and also Beige Royal which I am not too thrilled with.


A few colours that I have since sampled are Dulux Miller Mood and Tranquil Retreat and just to be a little bluer- Dulux White Box. I am leaning towards Miller Mood. I'm not sure I can get away with cream window frames with Tranquil Retreat.


I would love some help with the trim- barge boards, posts etc. There are two buildings that are about six metres apart that will be painted in identical colours. The other building is to the right of the rainwater tank.

    If you’re leaving the windows, I wouldn’t introduce a third colour. Especially as it’s a fairly plan building. My two cents worth. I’d either go Wallaby grey or plain white for everything. And then add some natives that flower in your favourite colour.

    Have a look at Dulux Dieskau for the main areas with Woodland Grey for the trim, barge boards.
