Brick color advice

11 years ago

Does anyone know of a brick that would match an existing brown roof, mostly beige with some darker browns but cooler tones, not warm tones

Brick colouring is very much a regional thing as the manufacturers tend to source local clays. So what might be available for me, might well not be available for you. I would recommend contacting a local brick supplier and get some samples that you can take and judge against the roof colour. Also, ask yourself how old the roof is. Is it due to be replaced any time soon? If so, choose the brick you like and worry about the roof colour when it's time to replace it at some point down the road.
