Need help choosing exterior paint colors
We plan to paint the exterior siding, trim, gutters, and garage door of our house soon and need help choosing a color scheme that works well with our brick, reddish brown roof, and new black windows. Currently, the siding is a sage green, trim is white, and garage door is beige. I understand the previous owner's decision to use these colors, as they pulled from some of the lighter brick colors. However, it's not my cup of tea. I am open to painting or staining the brick to create a uniform look, but my husband is a hard no on touching the brick at all. As you can see, we're growing ivy on most of the front brick anyway.
We initially thought white siding with a dark brown for the trim, gutters, and garage door would be a classic choice and work well, but I'm concerned it will result in too much contrast and make the house look dated and busy. Should we go with a dark siding and even darker trim, go lighter, use the same color for everything? Currently, we are leaning toward a medium brown siding with dark brown trim, gutters, garage door. Never thought I would lean toward darks/browns but I want to choose a scheme that works best with the brick, roof, windows! That particular scheme looks good to me on the online color visualizers, but I would like your input, please!

Need help on choosing exterior paint color for mid-mod house
Comments (20)Thank you @houssaon. We do love this house and have worked on restoring/renovating the interior and now we're moving to the exterior. The landscaping and new front entry steps are the next big project to begin this summer and we're very excited to have it feel more cohesive and appropriate for the house and lot. We have thought about adding a sidelight, but the front door is actually original to the house and has such amazing detailing. It's in great shape and we're hoping to keep it if we can. We'll paint it and see if we want a door with a sidelight - I love the one you posted. Thank you!...See MoreHelp! I need help choosing exterior paint colors!
