Colour Selection - Part 1 : Facade

We had our colour selection last month.  I thought we came prepared but there were still things that we were unsure of during our appointment. By the way, we are building with Carlisle Homes.

These are the colours that we chose for the facade: Hopefully it will look like how we imagined it to be. The brick is AustralBricks category 5 which is an additional $4,900! This type of brick needs neutralisation which is an additional $800.  To accentuate the colour of this brick, we also upgraded to off-white mortar.  I don't have the price yet but you guessed it right, it's an additional cost too!

I tried it on Carlisle's Visualiser but it was very limited; the facade was lacking some features like moulding on the garage and windows. The colours in visualiser do not look like the actual colours.  

We originally picked Grey Pebble for the Balcony render but the designer thought Dieskau will blend better with the Cat 5 bricks "Steel".  I was unsure whether I wanted the windows to be in Monument or Surfmist.  Either will look good but the designer thought Monument will give it a bit of contrasting effect so I opted for Monument.  I wanted to have a brighter and lighter shade of white paint for the first floor, mouldings, timber posts, entry door and garage door but it's a bit tricky to pick the right shade of white.  Too bright a white and it will look like a primer so again I chose Surfmist.  This is what they used in most display homes and I've seen how it looks like on actual houses so I think it's a safe choice but will still give me the look that I want.  I hope they will look good together... fingers crossed.
