Colour Selection Resources

 Colour selection, by far was the most painful part of the process.  Although it was fun to begin with, it will quickly do your head in and colour consultants can be helpful but the best advice we can offer is to collect heaps of magazine cut-outs of colour schemes that you find appealing and start from there.  One thing we found is that the volume builders (ie. Metricon, Porter Davis, Simonds, Burbank, Glenvill...etc...) do colours well as they employ teams of designers/architects/consultants to formulating their range & do al the hard work for you, so checkout their websites - most have good facade finder tools.  'Display Home Magazine' is a good one to flick through to see different colour schemes used by boutique through to volume builders.

Here are some handy resources we found to help with colour selection:
  • Order Colorbond swatch samples here
  • Metricon Studio M envisage to help with colour selections here
  • Find colour swatch information here
