Frustratingly the council records for our house are incomplete and don't have the paint details. We bought it about 5 years ago and need to do some work and have completely failed to match any of the existing paint. As these companies tend to use a bunch of common builders and paint colours I was hoping someone here has a similar age home with a full info pack.

The one I'm currently trying to match are our downpipes and guttering. They are a rust brown and the closest we've found so far is Resene Redwood.

For most of the rooms we're trying to update the paint colours as we work thru the house, but having something to match the existing pain would be useful for some patchups. Most of the interior walls are a cream off white with a hint of grey - and we've tried to match across all major paint companies with no luck

And yes i've approached Universal and they no longer have records for our house
