Exterior Paint help for yellow/orange brick
I just purchased a house and need some help with the exterior. I’m open to painting the brick as well as keeping it but changing the trim and siding. I’ve always wanted a black house so not opposed to dark colors. Any suggestions on keeping or painting the brick and colors for either way? Thanks

Which exterior grey paint with red/orange bricks?
Comments (1)No responses yet but today I bought a tester of SW Mindful Gray. It's not dry yet but hoping this may work with my bricks. Maybe others have used this color with brick? It seems close enough to the mortar color....See MoreOrange/Yellow Brick and Exterior Paint Color Advice Please
Comments (18)i have a bunch of pics here, so use your imagination and try to vision what I think would look good on your place. Love you metal roof idea. I think you should update the home (the 60's were good, but it's time for a facelift) to more of a mid century modern vibe. there are a few ways. First, Paint. yes, paint the brick (With Romabio of course. it's meant for masonry and has almost zero upkeep. look it up. Not the lime wash one, the masonry paint. you can have it tinted to any color so, imagine if the siding was done in a dark charcoal, and the brick below painted a soft white or gray? Or you could reverse the colors another poster on here painted their brick and was looking for another color option for the siding. I'd do your window trim in a dark color. here's a before/after from another poster on here. looks good eh? painted brick, white siding, dark window trim, AND she added the wood slat on the porch area. Wood is necessary! so the other option, composite wood siding (Hardie) on the 2nd story, just like this. paint the brick oh, and more modern garage doors. that's a must I love this one. similar style home to yours. you could paint the brick white, do the composite wood siding, trim out the windows, new garage door, front door. (this is my fave) next comment i'll post more split level pics...See MoreUpdating exterior paint colors with orange/red brick
Comments (7)The windows are not right for the shutters. I would remove them. Paint the trim a light tan. It really looks good with the color of your brick....See MoreExterior Paint Color Help for light brick and orange/tan roof
Comments (2)Sage green is the first color that comes to mind. I'm usually very against painting brick, but I think it could work here if you wanted to go more of a cream color all over....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearI’d keep the brick, it’s very retro cool.
I wasn’t able to find examples I wanted, but just to show some colors with orange-y brick:

.I’d just do some searching for ideas for this color, this year of house, etc. This great vintage look is coming back. :)
I think if you limewashed or whatever, it would take all character away, plus start a whole chain of having to change everything else.

last yearThank you… in keeping with your retro cool idea I found this color palette I love for the house. Just not sure if I want the main color the blue or do I switch it up?

I could paint a house black, but thinking it is a bit of a commitment, so how about gray?
Found this before and after...you could have a white Adirondack chair on your porch.I noticed in this photo how the walkway mimics yours and what a huge difference it makes with plants and mulch.

I'd paint everything gray, including the what paneling on the porch and the garage door. Thinking it will make the house look bigger.
