What colour/tone is used in new buildings in Ireland?

UnhappyCustomer · 2023-07-29 08:43:56

This is more about exterior paint but I felt it was more related to design than construction. I would like to know what are the colours used to paint the new buildings in Ireland And I mean that grey/black or dark grey like the one in the photo. My house is not new but I would like to use these colours anyways. Any help is…

There are numerous shades used. Go to a paint suppliers and look and the shades of grey available. There will be example images of popular colours in brochures.

Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 seems to be the base colour.
Start there and work your way out.
