Her husband hates the brick and will paint it - a lot of homes in their area are painted brick so they are ok with that - they had originally picked Kendal charcoal by Benjamin Moore but think now it is going to be too dark with the hale navy

Kendall Charcoal is going to be way to dark. Other B-M colors that would work include:

Chelsea Gray

Rainstorm

La Paloma Gray

Shaker Gray

Timberwolf

Some of these are cool grays and some are warm grays but all of them would go with

Hale Navy

That being said, I am not a proponent of painting brick as you take a no maintenance product and turn it into a long term maintenance issue. However, it's not my house and you requested some other grays that would work.

The roof color also needs to be considered when choosing paint colors. The roof looks more brown than gray on my screen...? If so, and the roof isn't changing, I would choose a warm gray. The roof line is low so I wouldn't go too dark with color choices.

Big mistake to use gray with the brown roof. I agree that the painted brick will remove value from the home. They did a nice job with the landscaping - they can just wait for the plants to grown a bit larger.

Denise, we have a lot of ranch homes in our neighborhood with similar roof lines...long and low. The ones that look the best have lighter colored sidings. The ones with a dark siding tend to look more "squatty" to me. However, we also have old oak trees all around the neighborhood, so there's also a lot of shade.

The roof is being replaced with charcoal shingles - the steps r being made larger and the home owner owns a nursery so the landscape will be spectacular ❤️ thanks so much everyone for your input -
I will post the after photos when she sends them to me ❤️

Charcoal shingles...yes! :-)

They decided not to paint the brick ~ updated as of today

I painted my all brick house 15 years ago and the paint looks as good as the day I painted it. It sold the same day I put it on the market. I painted it myself after acid wash then pressure wash, dried thoroughly. I used a SW paint. Painting the brick made a huge difference and looked so much better, my husband hated the idea but loved it after.

Good choices, and a wonderful job on the landscaping!
