Help! Need help with colors for brick and wood siding split level
11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago
Hello Houzz Community!
We've chosen colors, but I'm worried that the trim will blend in with the red brick. I want to keep the siding about the same color as we have rather large overhangs that run around our home which we will paint and I don't want to accentuate them with a darker shade.
We've chosen Sherwin Williams Muslin 6133 for the siding, Outerbanks 7534 for the trim, and will also do an accent color for the door TBD, but I'm leaning towards black or rust red, also eying plum brown 6272.
We can't go too crazy, as we are in a strict covenant community in Baltimore. Below are front and back photos of the home. Forgive the quality. Thank you for any feedback!
