My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Hi Igor,

    Thank you for your inquiry. The lighting in this photo makes it look a little blue, however, the color is Benjamin Moore in Gunmetal (#1602). Hope that helps!

    Igor, I love the colors of this home as presented in this photo. I was wondering how it held up since the Houzz photo was from 2010. This 2016 Google image of the home shows a more realistic rendering of the Gunmetal:

    I think I'll use the Benjamin Moore option to "Show Colors" to select the colors from the architect's picture as I really like the blue.

    Most photographers will take the exterior picture in the evening light. That google photo looks like mid-day in harsh light. Thats why the color temp. difference.
