For dark architectural style, pair Marley Stratus Design Series^® Typhoon^® spouting with RP80^® downpipes in Black with weatherboards in Resene Double Foundry. Resene Double Foundry and other dark Resene colours are available in Resene CoolColour versions meaning they contain special heat-reflective technology that stays cooler than the standard colour. Tie in lighter grey tones with chairs painted in Resene Raven, soffits in Resene Black White and deck in Resene Crowshead, a tar-coloured brown wood stain.

Make your spouting and downpipes a design feature by pairing Marley Stratus Design Series^® Typhoon^® spouting with RP80^® downpipes in Black with lighter contrasting weatherboards in Resene Double Silver Chalice. Tie in grey tones on the soffits in Resene Sea Fog, an off white with a touch of grey and add a hint of blue with Resene Bluff on the chairs. Keep the decking soft and natural with Resene Woodsman Natural.

If you like the look of dark exteriors but want to try something different, consider blackish green, Resene Karaka on your weatherboards. The dark colour will still combine well with the Marley Stratus Design Series^® Typhoon^® spouting with RP80 downpipes in Black and green undertones can help your home become in tune with its natural environment. Paint soffits in a green-infused white like Resene Merino and pair with decking with a hint of green like Resene Grey Green. Chairs in Resene Saratoga will pop against the Resene Karaka weatherboards.
