Help me decide on exterior paint colors
Comments (6)The house colors are already perfect except the sidewalk. I would paint it a deep shade of magenta or similar, something that matches the brick and the plants. I always use the rule, light and dark for basics then dull and bright for accents. That is what the current paint colors show, the dark brick against the light background and the dark shutters all blend together well. If you accent by painting the sidewalk a deep color, it will set it off beautifully....don't use black for the sidewalk, you won't be able to see at night to walk on it...black h3re would be too much black..just the dark shutters will do the trick. It's your house, you have to be satisfied with the colors yourself, this is just my opinion. becky ps a deep green, almost a black, would be better for the shutters instead of a black. be cautious using too much extra color as you already have a lot of color with the brick column and .plants. some people paint the brick but my opinion is the natural brick looks better. good luck....See MoreI can't decide on an exterior house paint colour

Comments (3)I think your home is very charming! I wouldn't paint the brick but would paint the siding a color that corresponds with the stone. I understand that's easy for me to say since I haven't been looking at your home for 25 years. I would just hate for you to paint over some of the charm of your beautiful home. Okay, I gotta admit that the all-grey color scheme, even on the brick does look nice. It just really changes the style of the home. Hope this helps in your decision-making!...See Morebtydrvn
