I just purchased this house and need to replace windows and doors. Should I keep window color the same white or go black?
Also, what trim color would go best?

Comments (3)Here's a pic of the Silas Lucas with a black roof. I think this is pulled off better when you have heavy architectural details that repeat the black or in the bright white.

Comments (2)Do you know what color is now? Benjamin Moore has a color called Limestone that would look good. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/513/limestone?color=513 Or a lighter shade called Light Breeze. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/512/light-breeze?color=512&source=%2Fen-us%2Fcolor-overview%2Ffind-your-color%2Fcolor%2F513%2Flimestone...See MoreCan you paint a dark trim on a brick house with white windows?
Comments (4)Charming arts and crafts house. Dark trim looks great with brick but not when the windows are white vinyl. Too stripey. I’d also seriously reconsider changing the porch and roof as they are character defining elements on the front of your house. Could a mudroom be constructed elsewhere?...See MoreNeed help w/ paint for trim, siding, garage doors buff brick house
Comments (4)If you search ’brown brick trim colors’, lots of ideas come up. Just an example: Of course none will be your exact brick, but it might help with ideas. And after narrowing down possibilities, search everywhere you can for examples — Pinterest, Instagram tags, etc. Your white windows are definitely an important factor to consider, so I’d look for an experienced, reliable pro in your area for advice on a color that will work well with both them and the brick. It’s a big job, you want it to be right the first time! What color is the front door? Are you in the Houston area? Or a different southern state? Just curious, I’m admiring the Live Oaks. :)...See Morecat_ky
