Colour match - any ideas on this colour?

Hey everyone!

 

I've noticed a house near me with an exterior colour scheme that I absolutely love and want to match for my own house.

 

I'm hoping someone here can steer me in the direction of Dulux colours that are similar for both the weatherboard and the plinth. I'm looking for warm colours.

 

My guess is the weatherboard may be Dulux Ecru. 

 

Any further ideas?

Thanks for your input @MitchellMc and @redracer01 

 

Decided to go full strength on Light Rice and it looks amazing! Thought it was a bit light when we first started spraying, but the next day the colour had darkened slightly and the second coat also really brought out the pink undertone.

Will definitely paint the house this colour too

 

And for a comparison, this was the half strength picket vs the full strength

Again, so glad I went full strength!

 

Can't wait to see what the finished fence looks with Toffee Fingers

That looks fantastic, @jsuyat! Much better than the half-strength, I think.

 

Please keep us updated on your progress and reach out if you have any more questions.
