    That colour reminds me of Colorbond Paperbark (Used to be Merino). It goes well with Woodland grey in my opinion. Could do gutters in that or the studio cladding. Are you wanting to go light, dark? For a similar tone, Dulux Beige Royal might be a good fit. It's difficult to tell colours online. They completely different from site to site and can change depending on what screen I'm viewing them on.

    Do you have a small piece of cladding with the yellow tone paint on it. You could take that into a paint store to get an idea of what it's called and what colours would suit alongside it. Some stores can even do a colour match scanning an item you bring in.

    thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm thinking of going a different colour to the main house and wanting something complementary and probably darker. I do like the idea of a soft grey and will check out the woodland grey that you mentioned.

    Woodland grey is quite dark.

    Looking at your photo today, I think the house looks more classic cream. Either way, a soft grey would work. But there are SO many variations and tones.

    You might like to hire a colour consultant if it gets to overwhelming.

    I think the golf holes are too close to the windows.
