Painting house walls outside

Well does anyone paint their house walls? if so what colour have you found the most fun. Looking for something bright, and funky. If they have to be painted I thought this year instead of cream I'd go for a colour.

I have considered white with square black trellis but then thought what about colour?

Oh meant to say its the back of the house up to the top of the downstairs windows and a brick shed wall close to the house. The garden faces South West, and gets sun all day mostly though afternoon through to early evening and very light.

China blue always looks good with a sunny aspect or how about a rich terracotta???

Thats it Steve - bright idea's I am tempted I mean its only paint, my thinking is I can always cover it again if I don't like it.

Mine is like a mixture between chinablue and wedgewood blue......thought we would be different!

What about a nice sunshine yellow. Someone a few doors down from me has painted the front of their house lilac

I will look at samples this week and let you know my thoughts and show you when its done

More ideas please all ideas gratefully accepted and pictures of your own painted walls would be most wecome.

We used Dulux Weathershield, you can choose ANY colour you want and they will mix it for you in any DIY store, so you don't have to stick to the original creams, beige etc.

I think I need to pick a colour and then stick to it.

I will have a good look around although I am tempted toward the white with the black trellis. The UPVC is white I amhoping the white may well bring out the brightness.

But an pictures of your painted walls would be most welcome.

This was 'during' painting last summer, we've since painted the porch roof black and window ledges. This picture actually makes it look a little darker than it really is.

Our next door neighbours house is lemon, so they look nice side by side....lol.

Everybody in the street said how brave we were....lol.....not sure if that is a compliment or not....

Here's some idea's for you Kazz

These house's are all one street not far from me, every house has been painted a differnet colour
