    nope nope nope nope. I think your architect might be colour blind

    Personally I think the master bedroom window might be a bit too large now

    Rule #1 gutters and fascias are not features and should never be treated as such unless it's a federation home.

    Try this

    Colour scheme #1
    Colorbond basalt roof, gutters, barge boards and fascia
    Change the one line of cladding above the garage door and wrap it down the side to the floor (replace that stone) to be blueboard and render in Dulux Basalt
    Dulux Whisper White cladding to gable and walls
    Dulux/Colorbond basalt front wall render
    Cedar/wood look garage door and slat panels to the front wall
    Silver windows

    @Cactus try Dulux Domino or Dulux Caviar for the black that isn't black, Dulux Whisper White and a grey.... what depth grey do you want? a nice mid grey is Dulux Timeless Grey

    Mate for one of our splitter we are looking to go with a darker grey, lighter grey, a whisper white and then a wood look. Also thinking of going the 8.5mm Easy Lap External Wall cladding as opposed to the Matrix which is more expensive, Haven't 100% finalised the colors/materials but very close.

    @Westminster and @Cactus have you ever used the Easy Lap stuff?

    @Leo2413 I've used EasyLap but only in it's whole sheet form and not with any shadow play - Easylap on the ground floor, Stria and Axxon

    BTW the 2 colours here are Shale Grey and Surfmist.

    Same. I used it in collaboration with matrix and stria for alternate materials on a job.
