TESTING YOUR colour CHOICE
Exterior colour schemes need to complement
your home’s architecture and surroundings.
Solver has sourced a number of stunning
exteriors in a variety of architectural styles
designed to provide you with inspiration for
your own colour scheme.
Solver has made choosing your perfect
exterior colour scheme easy for you.
Choose the colour palette or house image
that appeals most to you. Each palette has
been laid out in a range of popular light to
dark colours which are suitable for exterior
walls and architectural features.
Solver has selected four Colorbond colours
at the bottom of each palette for you to use
on your roof, window, door and trim areas.
These colours have been designed to
complement other colours in the palette.
A sample pot is the perfect way to confirm
your final colour choice. Brush out one square
metre of paint and view your colour at different
times of the day. Before making your final
colour choice, check that it co-ordinates
with roof and trim colours.
We have arranged our most popular
exterior colours into easy to use colour
palettes. Select your personal favourites
to complement your home’s surroundings
and reflect your style.
Soft neutrals and dark grey tones for trims
are currently the most popular exterior
colours. These popular colour palettes
will help you create a stylish exterior.

match the roof, but it does need
to work harmoniously within your
colour scheme.
