sage greens work well, the shutters could go, or be replaced a bit larger. the front door needs to be a pop since its set back, maybe a blue tone. soft yellow trim is nice with this combo

We recently bought a 1950s red brick house, and I'm looking for suggestions on exterior paint colors. We'd like to keep the brick as is but update the siding, shutters, trim and front door. The first picture is the house now (we are going to remove the large wheelchair ramp and add some landscaping). The second picture is old, but it gives a better view of the front of the house. TY in advance!

Hello Houzz folks - wanted to give a quick update on our project and maybe ask for a little more advice. We put off our roofing project (yay 2020!) but are about to pick it up again. In the meantime we have made some other changes inspired in part by this very thread, so it only feels right to share! First, we painted our garage door Urbane Bronze as suggested by one of the commenters here. We LOVE what it does to ground the front facade of our ranch and it really brings up the darker brown and black in our brick. Please pardon the crappy photos (and the overgrowth!) in this picture, which was taken as the first coat of paint was drying. Looked even better after the second coat! (No idea why this picture keeps coming in sideways!) Next we tackled the front door situation. I'd always wanted a vintage solid wood MCM door to match the age of the house. A friend found a PERFECT fit at a local Restore several years ago, and I finally got around to rehabbing it. After many hours sending, several tubes of wood filler, new glass and some paint, we had a vintage deep blue 3 lite door with black hardware. I'll update with a picture of our finished product later, but the color we used was Salty Dog by Sherwin Williams, which looks absolutely beautiful against the brick and the bronze storm door. Here's the Salty Dog color: And our door is similar to this: So now we will finally get around to the roof to wrap this all up!

On your house, I would leave the roof, paint all the trim white (get rid of all the tan/beige, since it doesnt go well with the house). The maroon shutters also dont go well on your house. I do like shutters on the house, but, maybe use your black on them. Happy to hear you are redoing the landscaping. Those shrubberies are not only too close to your house, they are not really all that attractive either. Everything is linear on the front of your house, try to get some curved flower beds, etc, when you do your landscaping.
