Need help picking colors for exterior of Home!!
Comments (8)I can't tell what function the low brick walls are serving,(is that a patio area? a garden?) but I do know that I had a similar wall around a side patio of my house. That side of the house had drainage issues due to the slope of the land. One of the first things my landscaper did was take down part of the wall because it was basically acting as a corral for the pooling water.

I agree with earlier posters about trying one of the tan/brown colors in the brick to paint the rest of the house, which will minimize the yellow you dislike so much.

Comments (2)I like your home. I also agree with you that the current color looks like an unfinished stucco job. Consider a paint color similar to the one below, it works with brick too: You probably need to sample colors to get to one that works with your home and brick. Also, if you remove the plastic inserts from the garage windows you will instantly update your garage door. Those half circles don't seem to relate to anything on your house, but the rectangular windows you get from removing those inserts would work well with your design....See MoreNeed help with picking out paint color for exterior home in Pacific NW
