Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

What color siding should we do with brick?

2 years ago

We're getting new siding, but are having a difficult time deciding which color. The trim around the windows is white and the garage door is white. We are probably replacing the gutters so those can change color. Do we try to match one of the brick colors? Thank you!

The house looks quite modern so I would probably do a dark gray from the brick I also would not do the white for trim or garage doors so maybe a bit mor einfo as to your style . IMO you could go a bit MCM with dark windows and a dark garage door with some glass in it. So this type of color and garage door style of course in the same color as the siding . Gutters are never meant to be decor so the same color as the siding . Please cover that arched indent in the brick and then some bg house #s that you can actually see from the street . The landscaping and if going in the MCM direction then use this as inspiration

Have you considered a mineral paint for the brick? It eliminates the traditional problems of painting masonry. Casey

To me, shutters look dumb when they can't possibly cover the windows that they flank. Painting brick will be turning a low- maintenance exterior surface into a relatively high high-maintenance surface. That is not what I would be wishing for on my house. Apart than the shutters, it is nice-looking house from the street. I would not mess with it for a while. The interior shots make it look like some nice spaces too. If I owned it, I would be jumping around like your girls are.

There's a house near me that has a green shingled roof with a soft yellow siding and I often think when I drive by it how nice they look together.

The siding you currently have looks very yellow in the pictures. If painting the brick is not an option I would choose a more updated shade of warm gray to compliment. Take a look at Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist 1549. Shutters will make a huge difference by adding visual interest to your exterior. Try a warm red like Benjamin Moore Spanish Red 1301 or an earthy green like Benjamin CC-724 Homestead. Paint the front door to match. You can also add a pop of color through landscaping, especially on the left side of the house.

Beautiful choices posted above. The dark grey and the gray/green really caught my attention, quite nice. Good luck!

The suggestions of a sage green or warm gray would be nice.

I like the gray suggestion, but please match it to a gray color in your brick.

Looks like the current paint matches the yellow bricks. I don't see any other colors in the brick that I would want for paint. Have you considered changing the brick? You might look into Romabio for masonry paint/stains/washes. When you do paint, please eliminate all of the vertical white bits that are boxing in the house. What color is the roof?
