Need exterior paint color scheme for mid century modern with red brick

11 years ago

Help! My husband and I can't find the right color scheme for the exterior of our newly purchased mid century modern home with red brick and reddish roof. We don't want to paint the brick because we like the raw natural effect and it's too expensive of an option to keep up with over time. We're considering Benjamin Moore "Lancaster Whitewash" for the main and a very dark brown for the trim (like Benjamin Moore "Black Bean Soup" or "Deep Caviar." We originally wanted to do a yellow door but because of the brick my husband thinks it will look like McDonalds :)! We thought of using the dark brown for the trim because we are using that color for the beams inside the home. Oh, and we're also planning to paint the garage door to match the body of the house like a lot of Eichler owners do so it's not such an eyesore. Final note, we're removing the railing facade above the garage so that will be a flat stucco area all in one color. We'd love your ideas!!!
