Hi - first time poster - really appreciate any advice

Would anyone be able to advise on colour choice for our block paving? We have just had patio area done in Bradstone sunset buff. The block paving driveway will fit up against the patio area. We have looked at the Bradstone rumbled and also the Marshall tegula blocks. We would like a circle in the block paving so that rules out the Bradstone. We can't decide which Marshalls colours will work best with the sunset buff patio. Originally liked the traditional colour but now think it may be too pink. The harvest colour is perhaps too pale? We are just so confused now. We have s couple of samples but it's hard to tell with a few bricks.

Our house bricks are a pale yellowy greyish colour.

Personally I wouldn't try to match colours as all your likely to achieve is a mismatch.
For me Pennant Grey works or have you considered other products such as the Drivesett Argent, looks good in the light and dark colours.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what others like, it's what works for you.
Get some samples is the best. Line them up against your house/patio and live with them for a bit, eventually one will grab you.
A bit like you would do when choosing a paint by using those sample pots.

Thanks for your help lemoncurd. We took your advice and got some more samples out. Really liked the drivesett argent as hadn't seen that before. We have gone for harvest in the end. It arrived today. Looks ok but slightly nervous about how it will look when laid.

If you mean the D.Tegula Harvest maybe the below images will help. If you meant the Argent Buff, it's a new product and probably not that many examples installed yet.

That looks really nice with the jumper blocks and Driveset kerbs Mark.

Great pics thanks. Yes we have got the tegula harvest. Our house bricks look very similar too. Like your border. Wish we had gone for that too but we chickened out of having a border!

Cheers Tony, Simon. I would love small driveways like that all year round. Simple, in and out, quick turnover....
Probably get a bit boring after awhile though.

Nice tidy job that!

Argent buff though? Haven't heard or seen them yet. Sound promising as I love argent so,probably best block out there IMO.
