    Hi,
    Trying to identify the colors used in this house. We've seen a few houses with the colours. Even called to one of the houses to ask but there was no one in! :D

    Any ideas?

    I would hazard a strong guess at Colourtrend Valkriss (dark colour) and Powdered Shell (light)

    Do you like that dark grey? Someone near us has painted their house that colour and I think it looks very gloomy.

    The pic is zoomed in and doesnt look as dull in reality. And we're going from a white house with black trim!

    I would just take Dulux's (or any other paint-making brand) brochure and would just go near the house and try to match it that way.

    The dark colour looks like for example Dulux's Flaked Almond, Brume or Rich Taupe. To describe it would just call it mushroom grey.

    The light colour could be any light cream colour, but I would choose one of these: Lace or French Light to match.

    But I could be wrong, since there has always been a problem with telling colours from photos. Your phone captures the colour and it already looks different than real life and then our screens will show it differently again.

    The image does make it look darker. We ended up going with Inch Strand for the walls and white for the sills and quoins. Don't think its the same as that but we like it!
