I wouldn't paint the brick.

Navy is a great compliment to your brick color.

The shutters don't fit the windows, I'd just remove them.

a fresh Aqua for the door, or even a lime green shade. Fresh & Young.

Cute house.. I would extend the tan on the garage gable to the garage door and the siding. I would paint the front door the dark color in the bricks (I can't tell if it is dark brown or charcoal) and paint the storm door the same or buy one. I would extend the aqua/sage color to the remaining trim, including the facia and porch posts. I don't like the white garage door, but I think the previous owners were on the right track. The biggest problem I see is landscaping. As soon as possible, I would have that half dead tree in the front yard removed. That would enable you to start over with a clean slate.

I like to tell people to do whatever they want because it's their house, but I really don't like the black. IMO that only works on a few houses. Be careful with painting brick - if you don't use the right product it damages your house. Brick needs to be able to breathe. You also create an ongoing maintenance issue where there isn't one to begin with. Romabio is a product that many people on this forum recommend.

What color are the darker bricks.

I second Navy, assuming it goes with your brick, which you should not paint. Otherwise dark gray. Black is really awful on most houses. I've never seen one that looks good, except in professionally staged photos, which are probably retouched.

I think at one point they were black but they do have a brown undertone. The house faces east so gets lots of sun. I’d really like to keep the brick as is I think but the colors are so different from any brick I’ve seen I’m struggling.

I’d keep the brick, it’s very retro cool.

I wasn’t able to find examples I wanted, but just to show some colors with orange-y brick:

.

I’d just do some searching for ideas for this color, this year of house, etc. This great vintage look is coming back. :)

I think if you limewashed or whatever, it would take all character away, plus start a whole chain of having to change everything else.

Thank you… in keeping with your retro cool idea I found this color palette I love for the house. Just not sure if I want the main color the blue or do I switch it up?

Slate tile looks so good.

A gray/green similar to the 6th photo from Jinx would be really nice with your brick.

I like all the suggestions, particularly the natural brick with the orange sherbet door that Jinx posted.

I could paint a house black, but thinking it is a bit of a commitment, so how about gray?

Found this before and after...you could have a white Adirondack chair on your porch.

I noticed in this photo how the walkway mimics yours and what a huge difference it makes with plants and mulch.

Painted Brick in Sherwin Williams Ellie Gray.

I'd paint everything gray, including the what paneling on the porch and the garage door. Thinking it will make the house look bigger.
