Exterior palette help

9 years ago

Buying a house with a busy tan/black brick and beige siding. We need to update the shingles anyways. I would appreciate any advice on a color palette to give it more curb appeal. I don't really want to repaint the brick - so I'm looking for ways to work with it.

I'm sure you'll get some great suggestions for paint color. I just have to say that those tiny shutters on that very horizontal window just don't suit it and should go. Good luck with your new home.

Just throwing this out: what about using the dark grey from your brick? The roof appears to be a light grey which would work, although you said that new shingles are in the plan.
