Need Help in picking out Paint colors for our orange brick home.
Comments (6)I had an orangey-peachy house in Baton Rouge, LA and I painted the back porch and door an opposite color on the color wheel - a beachy-seafoamy-light turquoise green. I loved it, but colorful houses are "done" there and this was 20 years ago. If any of your darker bricks go toward the red/maroon spectrum, a cranberry or maroon color could work well for a front door. You might have to make your pictures "public" in order for us to see them....See MoreNeed help with trim color for old orange/pink brick home

Comments (10)Thanks everyone! Your ideas are so helpful! @Lyn Nielson Thanks for the tip about the perennial garden bed! I'm glad to know it will take 3 years. I can be impatient with these things sometimes. Do you have any suggestions for what to plant? We are zone 5. @houssaon Brilliant! It would be nice to keep the white trim just because it's less work than changing it. A colour pop on the door would be a dream come true for me. How would you do it without making it look like we live in a fun house? @tangerinedoor I have a new appreciation for our window now! You're right. No one else has anything unique like that in our neighbourhood. @uoflcardfan77 Such a great idea to replace the shutters and I didn't realize the door would continue the theme but it totally does! Great eye!...See MoreDilemma: Exterior paint color to downplay pink/orange brick
Comments (15)I guess I didn't say that I am trying to deemphasize the brick. Not sure if you can tell from the photo but they are Roman style bricks, lacking the interesting dark colors and white stain of more traditional flat brick. It seems like blues and greys would make those bright pink and orange tones pop. My original thinking was white with dark accents. But I do like the dark exterior colors that are popular now. I worry that the dark colors will just make the bright pink/orange really stand out. Ultimately I guess I am looking for the house to look fresh without changing the good bones that it has. I am trying to embrace the look of the brick. Someone want to talk about how to tone down the brick without painting it?...See MoreLo Whitee
