I would not invest in paint until I tore that roof off. Sorry.............: )

We have old Chicago brick on the front of our home--much orange/cream. We live in the

The roof color is challenging, for sure. I would test the Sunset Meadow or something similar since gray-greens are one possible option with your roof.

I would absolutely LOVE to replace the roof. The guy who had it before us must've picked the absolute cheapest roof possible. Unfortunately it was a brand new roof still when my husband bought the house 8 years ago so it's not getting replaced anytime soon. :(

Maybe getting rid of the charcoal trim and fascia would de-emphasize the roof color and simplify the facade.

I think an earthy green would look good!

I think soft white could look really good on your house, keeping the dark trim.

our house is sage green and used to have a reddish roof. I thought it was a good color combo.

I think your house would look lovely painted like these homes - all of the trim including the window trim in a soft creamy white, paint the garage doors in a soft black or dark bronze. Replace your garage lights with more updated fixtures, add black larger house numbers, black entry door.

Forgot to mention I would also strongly consider painting the brick the same color of white as the rest of the house it doesn’t appear there’s that much brick and it will soften all that orange.

I bought a house with that roof color. House is white, including the trim. I considered a sage, pale blue-gray, or light yellow, plus keeping it white and adding a different color trim.

I do have an older home, though, so the white seems to fit the era. I have considered changing the roof in the future, but that is likely 15+ years down the line.

totally different way

SW Muddled Basil. Not perfect but I wanted to toss out a darker color

IMO a pink undertone paint will make that roof look even worse this is a color I love with red brick and IMO would look good with your brick and roof.

Lots of us have admired the paint and brick color combo Patricia posted. Not sure...I might have read somewhere the color was a custom mix. These are some similar shades from Benjamin Moore with Herb Bouquet appearing somewhat close. There are more photos of the house in this link.

I was just asking for the same advice yesterday from this group... we also have an orange roof and brick . I went and found jungle Camouflage by Behr and the trim is a creamy white that I do not have the name in front of me. They look really nice against the orange. Someone also suggested bronze windows which we are considering along with our front door. The orange is definitely tricky .

Soft green with orange is a lovely option, but it’s only one harmonious combination.

There are others,,

You all have been super helpful! I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond!

I'll be making another run to Kelly Moore this afternoon when the kiddos get up from naps. I'll be getting some sage greens and probably one or two creamy whites to try out.

What trim/gutter colors would you recommend?

BTW, if you chose soft white (for the main color or the trim), keep it really subtle and don't lean too yellow. the strong yellow undertone in your current house color is bringing out the red in the roof in a bad way.

I’m curious about the install of the shingles with the way they wrap around the trim. Are they asphalt shingles? It might not be possible but if the shingles where trimmed back to not wrap forward that would help them be less prominent.

@likewhatyoudo Interesting thought! Yes, they are asphalt. I’ll have to see if it would be possible to trim them!

Kimberly, your shingles wrapping around the edges made me think your roof is tile. We have a (gray) tile roof with the wrapping. Aside from the color, yours looks like ours in your pix. P
