Exterior siding and front door/shutter colors to go with brick

Comments (10)Thanks everyone for your comments. I think those grey/green shutters could be an option for us. I like the look of darker gutters (not black, more iron ore or copper), but starting to think that the uneven gutter coverage on the front of the house will just look odd unless we also do dark trim on the peaks of the house. Since we want to avoid painting the trim it might just be easier to go with white and add color/character via shutters...See MoreAdvice Needed: Paint brick colonial without shutters?

Black windows and trim could achieve what you want.

I got many many compliments from the neighbors after changing to this combo. I think that combo, or something close, would look good on your house....See Morekellyc311
