Painting House.

cheekyblueeyed, Mar 10, 2:36am
We are painting our house in Resene Tea. Looks really lovely but we have not decided on what colour we should use for the trim. Problem is our roof is a charcoal green, very dark. Any ideas what could match both Tea and the dark green roof! We've been into Resene, looked at all the colour charts.looked at Armadillo but don't really want a dark green trim. Any ideas please! Really wanting to modernise the house! T.I.A

Resene tempo!

We do need a trim colour for the garage door and front step just to break the tea in the entranceway. I liked oilskin and even purchased a testpot.but not so sure it matches the roof. Looks great with the tea but it's the roof that stuffs it all up! We honestly do not have a clue with colours so really need to choose wisely!

Ahh now I see the photos I take back tempo, next to the bricks I wouldn't have anything with red in as they are a colour all on there own.

If it was me I would really keep it simple for the garage door I would have it the same colour as the roof or a version of tea.

Try Resene HALF GRAVEL - looks smart a bit like the mortar between the bricks.
