help red metal roof and reds and yellow brick what color trim
Comments (1)Start by posting pics of your home. We can't see it with just a general description of colors. Context makes a difference....See MoreWhat color exterior with Green roof, White windows & Red brick :)
Comments (6)Yes, the roof is blue to us. For the siding, I'd choose a color close to a mid-tone in your brick (i.e. not the darkest, not the lightest, not the boldest, not the dullest). It will blend well. Given everything going on in the facade, you want a quiet blending color on the siding IMO. It's a beautiful, interesting-looking house....See MoreExterior Trim & Roof Suggestions for Red-Brown Contemporary Chalet
Comments (5)The dark magenta-brown siding limits what can be done. I think a dark gray roof is probably the best choice—an antique bronze or charcoal perhaps. You want to be conservative with roof color because you can't just paint over it. You can look at various colors online from most roofing manufacturing companies. Choose a sample home with red brick for a better comparison to your siding color. Because the siding has a red-purple tone I looked at trim colors with blue to red tones. The photo below shows two dark blue-grays and two lighter colors from the purple and red parts of the spectrum, all from Sherwin-Williams. Of course, these are color combinations that I liked paired with a siding color most similar to yours (SW6026 River Rouge). You should take a look at their ColorSnap visualizer and form your own opinion. There are lots of other colors that you may prefer. Ultimately you should buy samples and paint trim on your home before making a final decision....See MoreExterior paint/ design ideas for traditional house w/ light brown roof
Comments (17)@calidesign Thank you for reference photos. I am such a visual person and those are so helpful. I hate the color of the rock, but at some point this home will become a rental, so I don't want to change things that don't need changing just to suit my personal taste. Appreciate your point of view. @misecretary Great and important question! Definitely more of a beige! I have added additional pictures above that hopefully give you a better idea of the color of the stucco and the rocks. The trim & windows are all the same color as the shutters. I am not sure if that should change in the future. @uoflcardfan77 Thanks Kevin! Great tip on the door. I will check your website out....See MoreNathan
