The style of your door is considered Victorian an doesn't fit the architecture of your ranch home. Have a glazer out to replace the window insert.

The yellow siding doesn't fit your home either.

I really like the color it is, but understand not wanting the pink tones. I’d stay in the brown family, and keep the brick as is. It’s organic and in keeping with the surroundings, which is important with this style architecture. If you haven’t already, do some research on this wonderful style of house … embrace it’s heritage. It’s a really nice one. :) Unfortunately, too many across the country are disappearing under heavy ”updates”. (I don’t mean you’re doing that, just the current trend of trying to remove the ’70’s charm and history of these homes.)

Romabio won't change the amount of maintenance (none) that you do on your brick. And it doesn't help with the amount of maintenance (some) that you have to do on your trim. So, if you want a different colour brick, go for it. But if you're doing it for maintenance reasons, there's no gain. Depending on how the stucco areas are finished (using a masonry stain or painted with exterior latex) you might be able to re-stain. But if you have paint on there, you're kind of stuck with paint unless you decide to strip off or cover over perfectly good stucco. Regarding the bathroom (non) window, I'd use it as the backdrop to a focal point of my landscaping. An espaliered pear tree, classical statue or a fountain could work there and make the (non)window look intentional. Frame it with more plantings and it could be spectacular.

Hi, I would like to repaint my car door and the bump out of our front windows. Our window frames are brown and will not be changed or painted. The bump out and garage door is a dated worn out brown colour. I recently did my door colour. Any suggestions of benjamin moore exterior paint colours would be appreciated.I was thinking about pulling out a grey from our multi brick colours but am unsure. Pictures are posted in comments.

@lisedv thank you that’s beautiful! My goal is not to repaint all 4 sides of the house since I do like the existing color. But I know it’ll need painted once the shutters and house numbers come off which is how I got on this whole idea train. The long flower box is an idea I’ve been trying to figure out for years! Eve. These small boxes are so heave and tricky to manipulate hanging out the window…maybe 4 small ones all in a row. I don’t trust myself lugging a heavy planted flower box up a ladder! Loving these ideas!

The shutters on the window to the left of your front door are incorrectly sized. If you're interested in improving the curb appeal of your house you should remove or replace them. For the door and siding you should be looking to use one of the colors in the brick (along the lines of what Beverly shows).

Good suggestions from Beverly and kandrewspa. Definitely a different door.

Medium bluish/gray? A nice contrast of cool tone against the brick. Goes with the gray roof, the tan siding, shutters. Doesn't clash with style of door. Maybe something even bluer like Dustblu.

This is Dustblu...here it is in the SW visualizer.
