thanks for the replies! egbar - I was thinking a deep navy color for the shutters and door. I agree the above color is too cool. The gray shutters are a good idea also with a lighter stucco color. i'm going for a more modern look with stainless hardware and lanterns. so maybe yellow is out of the question. nosoccermom - the grout color is gray. a brown gray is a good idea. its just so hard to find the right one! so confused!

I think a light grey would look very smart - white trim. Be sure to paint the garage door the same color as the house to help it disappear.

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.

I'd choose the Iron Ore, you have a nice wooded setting, the Iron Ore would rally stand out.
