Updating exterior paint

last year

We just bought this house to remodel. Would love opinions on paint color.

Some of the Exterior updates planned: remove old screens, remove old landscaping and update, remove siding and replace, change upstairs window.

Kind of a cute house but what the heck are those grids on the windows they are not good. As for other things to do I think to come back after you have removed the screens and decided on what you want for windows we could be more helpful. Are planning in replacing the siding on the house and garage ? What kind of style of house do you like ? I think to advise on paint color right now would maybe not be a good idea.It also is helpful when you show us the whole house .

@Dunn Edwards. I love the meta data info that pops up when I Google your colors. Whoever made the decision to do this should get a huge bonus this year because it's freaking brilliant - and USEFUL. I found this by accident when I was standing in a partially dry-walled reno in 110° Phoenix heat and Googled one of your colors. BAM! Everything I needed right there on the first line - on my phone. Made me so happy I almost cried. Also, if you include H/V/C with your posts, it will not be lost on the readers here. Many *get* color notations.

Here is another one with a dark gray (soft black) like you suggested originally. Two views shown below. ^ The trim is F&B "Railings" color. F&B refer to it as a soft black http://us.farrow-ball.com/railings/paint-colours/farrow-ball/fcp-product/100031

I like this color usually for siding with brick but I need to see the windows for the upper ones . Also still some idea of the style of house you like.

Are you remodelling for yourselves or to sell?

Updated colors: soft white (like the lightest bricks) and terracotta (like the reddish bricks). If staining is a continuing problem, consider painting the fascia boards gray to exactly match the roof color. If the visible stains are temporary, use a soft white on the fascia boards.

The roof needs cleaning to remove the streaks.

You have beautiful brick on your house. There seem to be a lot of colors in it, so should be easy to pick a paint color for the siding part. It looks like I can see a color similar to cedar in the brick. I would like to see cedar on the top, instead of board and batten. Also the same for the garage. The color of the badly deteriorated siding on the garage, is actually a color that goes nicely with your brick, or did at one time anyway. Its pretty discolored right now. Sage green does go well with brick, but, I do not think it goes well, with your brick.

What above poster said - you really dont have a whole lot of siding, so why not get a good quality cedar siding - either stained red brown or darker charcoal.... or just natural color. Wood is inherently compatible with brick, both being natural "of the earth" materials. I agree the rest of your palette can come directly from your brick pattern including window color choice. I think you are correct to figure out the entire color scheme before starting - what color will all the components be, and in what proportions (look up 60-30-10 rule). All too often on this forum people approach color and design in piecemeal fashion, asking what color goes with this whole riotous assortment of other colors that theyve already chosen. Its a good looking house, with a little tweaking it will be great!
