Help with exterior paint! Would dark paint color look best?
Would a dark paint color, such as SW Gauntlet Gray, work for the body?? I would like to update and make this house more contemporary, if possible. My husband likes the brick and doesn't want it painted. Please help!!

Comments (16)Not an expert here, just wanted to say that I think your home already is charming! What about a taupe color such as SW Sanderling or Stone Lion? https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW7513-sanderling#/7507/?s=coordinatingColors&p=PS0 It's hard to tell from a computer monitor though...See Morewhat exterior paint colors would make pink brick seem less pink?

Comments (7)As noted earlier, the green just draws more attention. I would: 1) Remove the shutters from the double windows. 2) Paint all the trim and garage doors a nice medium taupe. Don't paint the garage doors a different color as it draws more attention to them. 3) Paint the shutters, maybe a darker tone of the trim. 4) Paint the front door. A black door with taupe trim/shutters would be very striking. If you're interested in seeing some virtual makeovers of your home, check out my website, Creative Visual Concepts.

Comments (10)that's a very prominant roof, both in color and in placement. I wouldn't do blue siding. Bring home samples of siding so you can place it on the front of your house and view it w/your roof. I'd do a soft white, charcoal/black, copper accents. These colors I love the wrought iron color. you could do that on the siding Or, leave the stucco in the front, do that in the creamy white, and do the charcoal siding or shingles around the garage door. do a wood garage door you might be able to have those tiles painted. Here's that color roof w/a green. (I don't care for this one. that roof you have is just too "in your face" for this color combo this is basically what a blue color would look like against the tiles. just, NO. You could do a soft white siding and accent w/this blue on the door, or trim color If you like this soft grayish blue, Try a Platinum color w/the darker charcoal for the trim or use the white for the trim color...See More

Alternately, try the sage colors. They work well with brown roofs in a wooded setting and you have a huge selection of sage type colors.
Here is James Hardie Mountain Sage - and you can get a color match with BM or SW

I can't tell if your roof is reddish brown or plain medium gray. Which is it?
