Exterior Color Selection

Although nothing had happened so far but thought it is time to share my color selections.  Basically I am pretty happy with my interior colors and matches but I am still thinking of my exterior colors.

This is a photo of the facade of a display home which is similar to the one I am having, just to give you a comparison.  Forgive me for the dark photo because it was so hot and the lighting is so screwed!
So these are my selection :

Harmony Roof - Flint (Greyish Black)
Render - Colorbond Dune (color seems grey but some said it is a bit pinkish under the light)
Feature Wall - Colorbond Dune with 50% more intensity meaning a darker Dune
Gutter and Fascia and Downpipes - All in Dune as I want it to be the same as the render color
Garage Door is in Georgian Design and painted Colorbond Paperbark (Thought it look creamy but appears to be quite dark cream and people and saying Paperbark and Dune don't go well together)
My entry doors are double Madison 114 model and will be painted in Colorbond Paperbark as well.
My 2 course bricks around the house are Loogana Limestone
Driveway paving and around the house - Natural brick paving with charcoal border
There's all for the exterior, will share more of the interiors later.

Land Title Delayed

Haven't posted for a while and that's because nothing is happening.  I just came back from a trip to Perth hoping to see my plot of land but was told other than tradesmen, there are no access roads for others.  Apparently the developers are in the process of laying down sewage and electrical cables underground and so the land titles cannot be issued and without land titles, I can't get any building license, I can't get bank loans, my builder can't inspect my site so everything is at a standstill.

Nonetheless I can show here the aerial view of my plot of land.  First one was taken on 8th Jan and the 2nd on 15th Feb.  You can basically see some digging done around my plot of land.  It is kind of hard to tell you which one is my plot but it is there in these pictures.
During my trip to Perth, I also managed to choose the colors for most of the fixtures in my house, in fact it took me 5 hours to complete that but that's quite a short time compared to some who does it over 1 day.  Anyway I have taken some pictures of my selections and will post them when I download them.  It is hard to see how the overall house will look like but I hope all the colors will come together and the entire color scheme is pleasing to everyone's eyes.
