The exterior of our house desperately needs to be updated, so we are going to start with the siding and brick. You can't see it well in the pic, but the previous owner tried to paint the siding and brick by himself, and it needs to be redone. We are having someone come to paint our siding, since replacing it is too costly at this point. To make it easy, I was going to have it painted white again, but I would actually like to change the exterior color, including the brick. Here are the issues: I'm not sure if I should use the same color on the siding and brick or two different colors and I'm not sure what colors I could use that would go with the existing white trim and black roof and shutters (since I won't be changing those). Any suggestions would be very welcome!
