Who knew it could be so difficult....

Need to choose between these four colours. Which do you prefer? Original, buff, weathered buff or autumn? Majority rules as I can't decide Smile.

House is quite dark, reddish bricks, largish patio with grassed area, planning on paining fence light blue colour.

TIA for any help.

If the house is dark red, autumn could be nice? It would reflect the red bits without being too bright.

I hadn't thought if that, thank you. Because the house is so dark I was automatically looking at lighter colour stones.

I'd go for the darker grey ones. I think the autumn ones look too 'pink' and the 'buff' look too yellow. I think the contrast grey against the red brick would look a bit 'sharper' if that makes sense. Would probably also go better with the blue fence.

Thank you! Dh keeps saying buff but all I see is yellow...no one else here seems to see it as a problem.

Fat fingers on phone!

I was wondering if the yellow tone would go more creamy in the sun?

I like the darker grey ones best too.

Thank you. You've all saved me from buff Smile

Are you able to actually look at them somewhere (eg local garden centre)? We had ours done a couple of years ago, in block paving. It looks very different from the photos in the catalogue and website.

I was going to say buff, only because the others are all grey and miserable. On a rainy day they are going to look very unhappy slabs.
