Struggling to find a color scheme that works with our brick as well as brown tile roof. The golden tan paint has to go! Would love your thoughts.

I agree a gray/green could work. Can you post a closeup of the brick?

Sorry...you didn't ask but the shutters are much too small for the windows. Definitely no point having them on a bay window.

It is a pretty house!

A soft grey-green might be a good complement to the brick. It's a very pretty house.

Beautiful home.

Agree with chloebud -- shutters are not a good fit for this house. Perhaps you could repurpose them for a back yard garden DIY project?

You might consider a dark CA redwood brown for the painted surfaces. Something similar to this:

If you choose to keep the bold black entry door, it would go well with the dark redwood paint.

Benjamin Moore Copley Gray and Elephant Tusk trim. I would consider the light trim colour on your windows for sure. Remove your shutters, your windows are not made for shutters. After a week, you'll like it, promise. Love your house and the treed setting, gorgeous!

I have the English Cotswold photo from heltr in my files along with the Salem Ave photo from Bette. I think both color choices could work with your brick...thanks for the closeup.
