Most Popular Render Colours

What are the most popular render colours is an often asked question by builders, homeowners and architects alike. When you looking for popular outer colour schemes for render they are usually grey in tone. However, the fact that it is a popular render colour should not be the only factor as the colour you select will also depend on the other colours around your house.

Colours are one of the most important things when designing and finding the look you're after in your home. These colours must work together to blend into a final finished home.

3 Ways to Give Your Render a Colour

Option 1: Painting the Render

Painting your render is the most common method to give your render colour. Painting render looks great whilst adding a protective layer to your render to make it last longer.

Option 2: Adding Oxide to the Render

Adding oxide to the render is another method to give your render a colour. The colour range is limited, and no batch of oxide will 100% be identical as the render colour varies through the wall.

Oxide render finishes are uncommon, but they are great if you're looking for an earthy look. It is to be noted that you can't select oxides from regular Dulux and Taubmans colour charts. 

Option 3: Coloured Acrylic Rendering System

The coloured acrylic rendering system is the best of the best when it comes to inducing finishes. It lasts the longest, is weather-resistant and with the acrylic fibres in the render it resists cracking better than all render finishes. For that reason, this finish has many more steps involved.
