Need help coordinating exterior colors with brick
We are working on updating our 1980s brick home and are having trouble deciding on exterior trim and door colors. All of the homes in our neighborhood are Tudor style homes and painting the brick is not an option. I threw some blue paint up the door to provide some contrast and try to draw the front door out from the house (house faces north), but am not sure if the color was a correct choice. It‘s SW Lakeshore.
Any suggestions on a different front door color and a coordinating trim color for around the door? Our home is in Florida, and we can be a little bold with the color choices.

HELP please I need help picking exterior colors for this brick!
Comments (3)With that color of brick, any light shade of white or cream, along with darker shades like black, hunter green, or several shades of gray would look great with that brick color. What color is your roof? That's the other color you need to think about when choosing paint colors for your house. You do not want your trim clashing with it. Here are a couple of my favorite brick homes from Houzz painted with colors that would go with your brick: This shade of gray would work really well with the color of your bricks....See MoreExterior color to coordinate with blonde brick

Comments (18)Your current color looks good with the brick. If it doesn't need repainting, then invest in other curb appeal features: --new cement and brick steps using varieted bricks like the ones on your house --cedar stained railing --Remove shutters entirely --Deeper garden beds with new foundation plantings and perennials that produce dark red leaves and flowers, but use reddish mulch. Great landscaping enhances and extends the look of a house....See More"Blond" brick! Need help with paint color for exterior!
Comments (8)We were able to match the mortar color pretty well and ended up with Coventry Gray. It's not too warm, and not too "blue" or "purple" which was how some of our other test colors ended up. It's also lighter so it doesn't fight with the awkward brick and roof colors, like @la_la Girl mentioned! This visualizer pic seems pretty awful lol, in real life it's a nice match to all the elements. Thank you all for your help!...See MoreAnna (6B/7A in MD)

4 years agoI think cream/warm white would be nice for the trim. Not sure what the cream color is my brother used on their brick house. My sister used BM Swiss Coffee for her siding which looks nice with her Tarrytown Green trim. It's nice but can look much lighter with exterior light.
