Weathered Wood architectural shingles.

Weathered wood, dark brown or charcoal gray.

I am not sure that I understand your choice of white for your facia, gutters, downspouts, and windows. That will show a very sharp contrast with your brick. Gutters and downspouts are not architectural features. They are functional. They should be invisible, the color of your brick if possible. I would keep with bronze tones on all of these things and go with dark weathered wood, dark brown, or charcoal gray shingles. And play up the front door with an interesting color.

Thanks everyone! This is really helpful. I am leaning towards Weathered Wood or Charcoal Gray. I like the charcoal gray since it's a little bit different, and less of the safe route to go, with potentially a big payoff looks wise, but also a little scared it won't look right.

ptreckel - you're so right. We've been so focused on the roof color, we weren't thinking about the other pieces enough. Totally agree on the gutters and downspouts. I was hoping the white could help brighten things up a bit so is there a way to work in some white or some brightness without emphasizing the gutters in white also?

I think your landscaping can lighten the house up. Cutting back shrubbery and allowing your beautiful home to breathe and be more visible from the street. Ground cover in a rich green would minimize the reddish brown bare earth and stone. Black pots with colorful annuals, too, will add some color. I hope that the fabulous Pros with design skills can mock up some suggestions for new landscape that will lighten up your home!

That would be amazing! We certainly need to tackle the landscaping as well. The home hasn't been lived in for the last year or two so everything is overgrown. I need more sunlight in the backyard - currently covered by a canopy of trees. And the windows don't open because they're too tight against the brick... that's for another day.

Charcoal, Weathered Wood and a brown (without red) would look good. Have your roofing contractor put a few large samples on the roof to be sure. (Mine did without me even asking.)

I agree, the shrubs right by the front door need to go.

Very attractive house, congratulations and good luck!

As above, and a new door, not painted white.

Weathered Wood roof. Be careful on trim color. A blue/gray or a sage green would be worth trying a sample or two. I would not use any white. Just doesn’t work with your brick. I will find some inspirational photos for you. Bbl

Thank you, that would be fantastic Flo! We've also been struggling with our brick color. It's been difficult to find other homes like it.

I would go with complimentary colors, or you will be adding more orange. Roof color needs to blend with desired trim color.

Love these pictures. Thank you so much. We’ve decided we want to spend some more time thinking about this so we’re going to delay until Spring and hope nothing leaks before then! Definitely interested in pursuing one of these options.

Big props to Flo! Those colors look great. You will be very disappointed if you do white. The weathered wood roof seems like a safe choice, and you really don't want to worry about a leaky roof.

Depending on what those big shrubs are, you may be able to severely prune them, but not right before winter, or the new growth won't have time to harden off. Fall is a great time for new plantings, so their roots can grow over the winter.
