Paint sandstone colors

6 years ago

Hi guys, I'm wanting to match similar colors to this house, I know it's hard to tell from pictures but I like the color scheme here so I would like to buy paint in similar color. So the main color is the beige, the brown trim and also three main colors from the stone... to apply to my brick. I'll be using romabio's mineral paint for my brick. The problem is they don't help you in choosing colors.
I assume I'll need a gray, light beige and darker/orangier beige for brick. Then the beige color for non-masonry parts of the house. Brown for trim. Is there a way I could put a proper pallette together?
Thanks!

    so you want to paint all of this stone? and the stucco? but leave the brown trim?

    sorry, not sure what you're asking. Or you want to match the colors in this 2nd picture?

    the stone isn't really painted in that one.

    see if you like any of these combos











    you could prob take these 3 lightest colors, and try the samples, and then use one of the dark browns or something like Iron Ore for the trim



    same w/this one. if you want to lean more of a gray, rather than a sandy beige, try the warmer gray colors

    sorry Beth, was having trouble using the site, works better now that I have the app. I uploaded a 3rd picture showing my house, the first one is showing the theme I want

    it looks like any of those would work, which one do you think is closest to the light beige on the two story home?

    oh,,ok,,that's completely different than what I thought!

    so you want to use Romabio to paint your brick in the colors of the other two stone houses?

    so you want a combo of those sandy tan colors? and you're going to paint each brick individually?

    you keeping the shutters?

    what color is your roof? hard to see

  • 6 years ago

    yes exactly and yes I wanted to paint the bricks individually

  • 6 years ago

    roof is brown metal, the color of brown flashing

    then look at the combos I posted, grab some samples, and try them on the back on a few of the bricks. (you'd have to use regular paint because masonry paint samples would prob be too much money)

    The key is to find the colors that are very very similar in tones. otherwise it's going to look like a patchwork brick house.

    for instance, these lightest 3 colors are pretty close in color and tone. you want to pick 3 colors that are like this. wait until the bricks are done before deciding on a trim color


    why not just use the limewasH

    Originally we thought about limewashing but don't want any of the red brick and I assumed the biodomus paint is a better paint for brick but could be wrong. what I'm really going for is a modern looking brick, and if you look at newer brick homes, not every brick is the same color and also the mortar color can be seen. Romabio did recommend Riposo beige as a base color then find other colors to go over top so I may do that, it would just be hard to know what matches Riposo. I don't have an eye for this sort of thing :(

    you'll have to try out some samples. that's all you can do to really see how the colors actually look. I gave you a few to start with.

    what you can also do is upload your picture to SW ColorSnap app and try out diff paint colors

    I'll start there, thank you, Beth. I appreciate your time.

    Thank you, Beth. I'll start there and see what I can come up with.
