I really like the look. And since you are in a cold climate that would be fine in black.

i envy the English barn conversions which always have the black. To me it is a very good look.

Oh and you may have bird poop as well. But all can be cleaned off.

Everyone is different , and while I understand what you are trying to achieve lookwise , my eyes automatically go to the white window . That is sort of the aim -- to blend in -- but I think is too much . I'd probably do a red oxide roof or similar -- a matt mid red , so it isn't all the one colour , but that shade of red is pretty unobtrusive , and is common in nature too .

Hi! Thanks for your feedback- the white window edging isn't an important element for me so easy to go for another colour. I was pondering a shade of red- maybe a rusty shade...thanks again.

I didn't explain all that well sorry -- I like the small bit of white because it means it isn't all black -- just me , on your pic you posted , I'd do the black walls , the white windows , but a red oxide ( aka rusty red ) roof . Having said that , red around the windows would look good too , but I'd prefer the red roof and white highlights .

we have a small holiday house built with Ironstone Colorbond steel cladding and our son has a Surfmist Colorbond clad house and the spiderwebs are much more obvious on his light coloured walls

In that climate, go for it. Black colours oxidise faster, so can look like they need a repaint sooner than if it was a light colour, but it’s less an issue in cooler climates.
