Will you repaint the whole house one colour, or use two or more? I was wondering if you had checked out the Houzz article on exterior paints at [https://www.houzz.com/magazine/5-easy-tips-for-choosing-your-exterior-paint-palette-stsetivw-vs~3317364[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/5-easy-tips-for-choosing-your-exterior-paint-palette-stsetivw-vs~3317364) - it seems like a good article!

There's also a Resene chart at http://www.resene.co.nz/homeown/decorating_inspirations/EzyPaint-exterior-schemes.htm

Without knowing any more info , I'd say its near impossible for anyone but you to know what colour/s to choose -- do you want the house to blend in but have its own style , or do you want it to stand out ? What colours are your main furniture items and even kitchen etc ?

For xxample , if keeping the beige walls , how about doing the eves and gutters and garage door in a tangy ( bright , but not glaring ) orange -- this would work with the existing colours and not require a complete repaint .

BUT if your kitchen was mainly various shades of , say , green and teal , and your lounge suite and duvet covers were mainly blue hues , that may 'feel' funny , clashing with the exterior ? Of course , blue and beige exterior may not work with the brown aluminium , as youve recognised .

Another option ( a bit hard to tell from the pictures ) is that a light grey ( repaint the beige ) with mid-charcoal base boards may work with the brown aluminium , then a bright colour on the gutters and front and rear doors to suit -- anything from sea blue to bright yellow , orange , red , even white or off-white would probably work .

First thing I would do is get rid of the Yucca plants! Passionate about how dangerous they are as the tiny tips can break off and result in a serious infection - doubly so if children around. Know a man who ignored this and ended up having a good chunk of his hand removed. Sorry to interrupt!

Thanks everyone for your input. We are doing up to sell hence asking others opinions. We have decided on colours.

I have a similar style house with brown frames and went for Resene Botticelli. I've been meaning to upload pics as I asked for advice on this website and it cemented my decision!
