Help!!! I have a traditional red brick home with white trim. I want to paint the door and shutters a fun color. I am not a traditional gal and am looking for a way to modernize it a bit, without getting a letter from the homeowner's assocation :) »
Monica Martin I have a traditional red brick colonial as well. I recently painted the trim a dark taupe and the shutters and doors a medium gray/blue. I get ooohs and aaahs from all the neighbors. I picked a more modern color pallette for the outside to reflect the updated interior. Sherwin Williams has an application on their website where you can upload pictures from your house and try out new colors. I did 5 color combinations and had my friends help me with my selction on FB. FUN!
color scheme for yellow brick house with wood siding - We just bought a mid-century modern house that has yellow brick on the bottom and wood planks on the top.
The house in now painted an earth brownish color which looks not so nice. I was thinking of painting the wood a warm dark grey color (charcoal or graphite grey) with white window trims. Do you think that this color scheme would work?
thanks fofr your help »
COLOUR -- - Would love to know the colour used for the trim and stucco on this home (as I have the identical brick).
Footnote: @ 'Darley', sorry I have no idea its name but do know it is discontinued (at least in Canada it is). »
6. Black Door With Red BrickDon't feel limited in your choice of exterior colors just because you need to work with red brick. A black front door pairs extremely well with red brick, especially if there are bits of black in the brick. In fact, a good tip for picking out a siding color that complements your brick or stone is to pull a color you like out of the brick/stone.This handsome house features an interesting palette of black and a steely blue-green along with the red brick. The blue-green and red brick are complementary (opposite each other on the color wheel), so they offer maximum contrast from one another, each intensifying the other. A bold and beautiful palette.
