Exterior Paint Colors Help!

2 years ago

Soon to paint our 1960's brick ranch.
NOT painting or whitewashing the brick at this time.
New windows will be installed in a few months, so dark solar screens will be replaced with beautiful clear, low-e glass with no grids. Vinyl window color is Sandstone (tan) to blend with the brick. Roof shingles are dark, Hickory Brown.
SW Moth Wings matches the window vinyl. Should I paint the trim to match the window vinyl or should I paint the siding on converted garage and back bay window to match the vinyl.
Color for siding, trim and front door needed. I just can't decide...Help, please!

Here are a few inspirational color combinations. I just cant figure out what colors they might be. And what features to paint on my house. If i go with a white, what do i paint the fascia near the roof, what about the features around the windows, what about the garage doors - this is sort if my dilema. I want really soft muted colors. Like the colors on the gate/ wall. Anyone have suggestions.

The green of your siding look good on your house, how about painting the window trim (instead of getting into painting brick) as well as the garage door. Black would rejuvenate the look of your home. We can't see what your front door looks like so I put one in with sidelights but it should be black. I also suggest to install a larger black sconce and large numbers below. You also need to either trim or replace the shrubs that hide your front entrance (lower shrubs or perennials).
