Please help me find an exterior paint colour to go with brick.
Comments (10)Kelowna is so pretty. Lucky you! The orange brick is a good, low maintenance material. And while you could stain it, I would not bother. I'd focus on improving the landscaping. If you really must change the colour of your house, changing the white siding to grey will have a much higher impact. The large cedars were planted too close to the house and should be removed. Consider planting a shade tree closer to the curb-- yes it will take time to grow, but it will be very worth it in the long run. Since you'll be renting the property out, it's important that landscaping be low maintenance. So shrubs, clump forming grasses, daylilies and hosta are good choices. Rhododendrons and azaleas should be happy there and do not often require pruning....See MoreDilemma: Exterior paint color to downplay pink/orange brick
Comments (15)I guess I didn't say that I am trying to deemphasize the brick. Not sure if you can tell from the photo but they are Roman style bricks, lacking the interesting dark colors and white stain of more traditional flat brick. It seems like blues and greys would make those bright pink and orange tones pop. My original thinking was white with dark accents. But I do like the dark exterior colors that are popular now. I worry that the dark colors will just make the bright pink/orange really stand out. Ultimately I guess I am looking for the house to look fresh without changing the good bones that it has. I am trying to embrace the look of the brick. Someone want to talk about how to tone down the brick without painting it?...See MoreEXTERIOR PAINT AND TRIM COLOR NEEDED to coordinate with orange brick
Comments (7)@amanda, what I don't like about the color now is that it is brown...I dislike all shades of brown. @chloebud yes, I am looking for options that go with our roof/brick and windows which is called "santone" from Andersen. ..it's like a beige colour. The gray/green is an interesting option for sure. @Patricia Colwell oh yes of course, not considering painting brick at all...when I said we are painting it all, I just meant the already currently painted areas. Are there any warm grays that would go with the brick/roof etc?...See MoreWhat paint colors go well with yellow/blonde brick?
Comments (4)Poor house! Well it's in good hands now - any of your "likes" could work, really. Maybe cos its natures favorite color scheme, green and brown is a perennial favorite, it always seems to work. I could see a very light buff (from the brick) for your TRIM, with a dark mossy green for the siding.
