I painted your trim at the Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer site. In the first I changed it to a chocolate brown. In the second to more of an ecru/sand color and attempted to paint your door a dark pine green ( but it wouldn't let me due to lighting issues- you can see the dark green color in the bottom right of the pic)- either would work with your brick:

or

Painting your trim a darker color would really perk up the house. With that color of brick, greens will look great, like what Diane has suggested. Dark navy blue, black, or charcoal gray would also work.

It really won't look so pink when you get rid of the salmon/tan colour siding. Have you considered a dark grey with a blue/grey door?

I agree that picking up a darker accent on all non brick elements of the house will improve the over all look of the home. This contrast in color will bring out the richness of the pink brick versus the current washed out look it has.

For the crack in the wall. Make sure there are no structural failures or building foundation settling that may be causing a crack to appear. A mason can verify this and repoint the mortar joints as required. They can also recommend an Eco friendly cleaner to remove any growth that may be on the brick,

All the best. Kyle

A brighter contrast color will make it look less pink. It's not really pink brick it's red but weather faded. I agree with the blue idea but veering more toward a true blue than grey/blue. Even a navy would look good, it would give it a far different air. the present trim reads very late 80's early 90's. You could also do a hunter green it would bring out more of the red in the brick. If you want to use dual colors try a lighter version on the larger spaces and a darker on the trim and door. Congrats on the new home.

I think color and trim similar to these would look great. They have a bit of an olive base which will compliment the pink/red tones of your brick.

DyeBrick stain! You can change the color of you brick! They have plenty of testimonials and I plan on stain my home this Summer.

Is your roof the brown-ish color is appears on my screen? If so, I would choose a warm gray shade from the stones/brick above the garage doors and far left windows on the house.

Another option might be something in a gray/green (sage) shade.

Thanks so much to everyone so far for all the ideas! I'm really intrigued with the idea of going darker, including the trim. I've noticed some of the custom homes are doing that now. I will post some photos once we've done the work. I did also read about staining the brick but haven't seen it in person so was a bit reluctant. If you do that to your house pls post a photo!

PS Thanks also for the photos posted, it's helps visualize it so much better :))

This one is a bit more orange-y but you see how a darker neutral tone looks.

I would get a sample of Benjamin Moore Copley Gray

I'd look at Sherwin Williams Warm Stone for the bigger painted surfaces. Also, because of your dark roof, I'd use a lighter color for the trim. The darker color used in this example is warm stone. For your lighter color, I think I'd go 2-3 shades lighter on the same color strip.

Thanks! I will check out both Cooley gray and warm stone.

Better but could you try a version with black on eaves, window millions and door casing and a dark green for the doors and bay window. Leave only the snow as white.

Love the version by Groveraxel above! Although I feel like the front door looks 'unfinished' now. Definitely would paint out the door surround darker to match the mullions and paint the door either a sage green or grey-blue, in the same depth of colour as the garage doors.

Sorry...I think a dark color (such as in Beverly's example) puts too much focus on your garage doors and the area above it. It's all I see and the rest of the house is kind of lost.

I liked Beverley's, the colour is perfect for the bricks. Agree with Grover to paint the window frames dark.

For me, red, light red, or even orange brick always looks best with white trim. You could do your garage doors white and paint the sidelights around your door white too to help it stand out.? I like the other suggestions too though. Good luck!

Wow! I've never posted before and thought I'd throw this out there. Everyone has been fantastic with so many great ideas. I really love how the windows look in the darker colour. I also love the idea of a deep blue door. There are a few different options wrt the garage doors and I think I'll have to just give a few options a try and see how it turns out. Thanks to all and the pics are super helpful!!

The more renderings that have been done with different colors, the more I'm thinking the garage doors and that large painted section above the garage look best when they are kind of a neutral that blends pretty closely with the brick color. I think those areas stand out too much when they are a contrasting color. So, I previously suggested warm stone and now I think I'd prefer a color like warm stone (or maybe a charcoal like grover tried) as the trim color and a mid tone neutral for the larger areas - trying to blend those large areas in rather than make them stand out against the brick.

Millions. ...lol. I wish.

Looks much better with the dark trim and...mullions. A darker shade on the doors and bay window will actually make them pop out less and bring the brick forward as a primary focus.

This will happen due to a little trick or vision plays in us. As our minds view darker items as being further away the lighter color brick will become more primary in our our minds eye and the bay and garage doors will fade back.

Have fun with a bold color for the entry door. Deep red, forest green or deep purple. Just not white.

All the best with your millions

Kyle

Grovers rendering looks very handsome! I prefer the fascia and gutters to be the same as the roof; it gives it more weight and a substantial look to the house. The darker Windows seem appropriate too! Very nice indeed!

We run into this all the time. Builders think that beige trim goes well with pink brick, but it just all blends into one ugly mess. As some others have suggested, painting your beige areas a different color will change the way the bricks feels. A forest green would be the most obvious color, but other options can work. Just go for a strong shade of whatever color you choose. Take peoples' eyes off the brick and onto your trim.

I like Grover's trim work, but I wanted the paint to be just a bit cooler.

You can only go so cool with your brown roof et al, but I feel like getting from tan to gray is a win...

This last rendering is nice- agree with the cooler, tending towards grey version of the garage doors, etc. Although I think the blue front door needs to be more slate and less robin's egg...

Acm, that looks nice but I'm seeing a bit of mauve in that gray. Maybe one with a bit of green would work better. The blue door is all wrong.

I'm sorry, didn't realize I cut off the color name in#1

Grover, what colors are those? That looks very nice!

Can you make the snow look like grass to. Lol.

Looks great with the red door and all. Might still go with a slightly darker color for the bay and garage doors but really I think this works so well. Do post an actual final photo of the home when it's painted.

Kyle

Ann, you of all people know I have no idea what colors those are. I just adjusted till I got something I liked. ;-)

Haha, well I really like the color too:)

Very nice Grover, a bit more of a green cast! Lovely.

Beautiful home! If it were mine, I would try to remove the dividers (millions?) in the garage doors' windows (and the basketball hoop), get bigger, nicer light fixtures (as you mentioned) and would paint all the downspouts to match the brick. New paint choices suggested above will give you a VERY classy looking new home.

West3388, first of all, congratulations on your new
home – and a beautiful one at that! We noticed you were thinking of painting
your door to better match your brick color, but have you considered a door

home’s exterior. We suggest you take a look at our [Trace
Doorglass Design[(https://www.houzz.com/products/trace-prvw-vr~33327334) from our Classic Doorglass collection, the simple and
elegant style pairs wonderfully with a textured brick exterior. For more exterior and curbside inspiration, head

Good luck, and have fun with the renovation!

Are you looking for some of tgose pink brick i have about a good two or three hundred of them you cant buy them anymore

Curious what you decided on...I'm in a similar predicament now with our house. Would love to see after photos if you don't mind sharing!

I am also in a pink brick predicament. No idea what direction to go. It doesn't help that my house sits in the woods so light colors get stained easily. Any new suggestions or updates to the original house pics?

I too, am in a pink brick predicament. Any updates or new suggestions to this post?
