I found this useful free site to have a go at creating your external colour scheme, since our builder doesn't have that option. But because Colorbond also provides roofing you have to imagine the house roofed with a traditional profile tile in a Chocolate colour and the brick is a general dark brown colour, (you can choose other standard brick colours or a paint colour to imitate a render) but otherwise this is a pretty good idea of what is intended by the colour selection.
The other difference is that because you select a standard house from a range I went with what I felt was a simple single storey, but I do not anticipate the front garden will end up like this. I did appreciate playing around with the colour of the rendered, retained garden beds, and I feel that the dark blue colour actually looks really effective, but not a colour I would ordinarily consider. A deep plum also looked pretty good.
So go to http://www.colorbondcolours.com/home/residential/see-our-colours, and in the menu go to the Colour Visualiser, which opens up in a new tab or window, and give it a go.
