Back to exterior styles hub

This elegant traditional home works beautifully in Dulux Hakataramea with Colorsteel® Flaxpod® to highlight the roof and gutters.

Elegant beauty

A beautiful contrast on this ornate façade is created using Dulux Te Kūiti for the front door and Cardrona for the fretwork and windows against the elegant soft grey of Grey Lynn.

Traditional house with deck and chair outside.

Exterior

Grey Lynn

A soft and cloud-like natural grey with a slightly coolish undertone that can be used both inside and out. Grey Lynn is a popular choice as it works well with so many other colours. Try it with greys and charcoals such as Manorburn Half, The Remarkables, Maraetai and Rāwene as well as crisp white of Ōkārito and the dramatic green-blue of Hauraki Gulf.
