I like the darker color. It brings the house together. You might try something a bit browner, but your mockups are good.

You need to go in a warmer, brown/gray direction because of the light brown roof. But, yes, a darker color will work. Paint trim a light, golden taupe.

Agree with the others it should be more in the brown tones. Wait for Beth to get on here…she will know the exact color for that siding.

Looks like a beautiful property. I suggest painting the siding in a dark warm grey, one of the darkest colour in your stone, white trim, charcoal front door and columns. The reason for pulling a colour out of the stone is that the house won't look so choppy...

There's a lot going on on that house! I'd either pick a sage green for the siding or try to match the color of the white stacked stone. Leave the red brick alone.

I usually never want brick to be painted but that yellow brick is not working so this is my fave for a color with red brick and in this case i would paint the yellow brick and all the siding and trim this color

I'd do the brick in Romabio and do everything w/these color combos
(wrought iron is very similar to this one. you could change out the silver to something else)

painted brick (Romabio, not really paint) and dark siding. love this look

ignore the shutters. you see how the brick is washed and the siding matches? adding some natural wood would warm it up

you could also go dark on the siding, do a heavier white coat on the brick

stone, blue gray trim color, creamy white

Yes, a close-up of the stone would help!

I’m with @Beth H’s ideas of one color and dark trim like her first photo. It pulls all the different surfaces together.

here's another example

similar house style (but this stone is a bit diff). You see how doing the brick in a creamy white and adding some wood elements works well?

trying to photoshop. The color on this brick is too cool next to your stone, but I'm trying to show you what it would look like w/the romabio in the masonry coating (heavier than a limewash)

I also gave you the wood porch posts (like the pic above this) the wood gable truss accent, and dark siding. plus a vertical address number.

I'd do some landscpaing and bring in better flower beds under your windows, a nicer porch to the left of the front door, and try and do something interesting along the walkway.

Another example w/dark siding, wood truss accents in the gables, and creamier whites.

Here's what a lime wash would look like,,,

and the masonry finish

Before and After

Lime wash brick (more of the beige lime wash color) paired w/the creamy stone

Heavier brick coverage in white

It's the white trim that is contributing most to the visual clutter. Mimic the color of the roof, perhaps the Urbane Bronze, and paint the trim the same. You need some monochrome to pull all of these surfaces together.

This is a close-up of all surfaces. Some great ideas here.

Its a beautiful house. I think its too many colors right now. I do like the brick, and I do like the stone. I would get as close a match to the stone, as I could, and paint the siding that color. The whole house will look more cohesive. Congratulations on your new home.

IMO the yellow undertone of the stone needs adjustment.

@Beth H, wow so many options. Thank you. I've toyed with the idea of something like this with the brick but I've seen so many good applications but also many fails so I'm hesitant.

@jinx yes a bad limewash application is what I'm so afraid of. I'll play with dark colors from the brick for now. Thank you.

Do you think if I go with the darker siding color the trim should also be that dark color?

Ugh, so sorry … I was trying to add a picture and lost my whole post. :/

Yes, you could do the trim the same as the siding or something coordinating.

A good painter in your area (are you in Texas? I‘m in D/FW) will have good advice.

I really like your stone and brick. Landscaping and porch decor will be welcoming, too.

It’s a lovely, traditional house. I wouldn’t fad it up. :)

Val, with the Romabio limewash, you have 72 hours to remove it if you don't like it.

but read up on it, how to apply it, what to apply it with, etc. Maybe get a few bricks glued to some wood that you can practice on. (buy a sample jar of the limewash and see how you like it.

or try it on a part of the house that isn't noticeable. if you don't like it, use a strong hose spray and scrub brush and remove it.

also too, lets say you do the limewash but don't really like it. Just go over it w/the Masonry romabio and have more of a solid coverage.

Like this one. these are the colors used on this brick makeover

go for that french country type of look

I would do this type of limewash w/a brick veneer front porch,,,,,

front porch idea w/the brick veneer floor.

(and yes, you may have to apply some of the romabio on your stone if you want less tan)

like this color:

then do this w/the front door and and surrounding porch. gave you wood porch posts, some better flower beds,

(I gave you the brighter white stone, but you'll have to imagine your red brick limewashed. I didn't do that) This looks really good w/front door area and the wood! you would paint your siding one of these other color

I tried to photoshop wood in the gable over the front door. it's hard to tell. just replace your siding w/a wood or a composite wood, and bring down wood posts to frame it.

You see how they did it here?

Want to keep the red brick? then make it a bit more modern w/these colors, door style, but I'd keep the same portio w/the wood. I'd also romabio your stone to make it more white.

Before and After brick tudor w/romabio

Romabio on the brick w/a dark trim on the roof fascia. you could also Romabio your stone so that it's a cooler white like this one. bring in the wood posts, copy these flower beds and landscaping, and try some bronze or copper color gutters. I also like the wood truss accent in the gable.

I really like this one. imagine the brick looks like the one above.

you could do your siding in the white w/the dark trim (like Wrought Iron or Iron Ore), or, do the siding in one of the blues, greens or even the Abalone with white trim. I think redoing the front door gable, front door/lights and porch are a necessity though.

@Beth love the wooden gable idea to complement the wooden posts. Very attractive. Applying the wash will be my endgame/last resort, but first, I'll try and compliment the existing brick - some very good options there.

Thank you so much for your valuable input.

Ok, I woke up this morning still thinking about this and I used the SW colorizer (albeit very poorly but you can get the idea), to pull all the colors I like from an up-close shot of the brick. Then I did the front, back porch, and garage building in alabaster for siding, elephant ear for trim, and iron ore for garage doors/entry. The brown color on the columns represents wooden columns.

Wow, I like that, Val. It looks nicely cohesive, and fresh. Fits your house well.

I’m with Kat. Some of these samples look as though your house was painted by committee. (Red brick! Yellow stone! No, paint the stone! Add gray! No, taupe! Let’s do the siding a different color! I want the trim to pop!)

I’d leave the brick alone. Match the siding to the stone. Understate the trim. Done.

Yeah, I’m baffled by the advice to paint (limewash or whatever) the white stone …. white.

It’s beautiful and natural, looks like Austin stone.

Brick, stone, and siding combos are very common here in Texas and harken back to Eastern European settlers’ farmhouses. I know other regions don’t get it or always like it, and agree some combos don’t work, but I think Val’s does (and with a better siding color).

With windows painted black...

The only thing wrong is the white. The brilliant blue white clashes with the stone. A softer white that works better with the stone may be all you would need to do.

Using a color that matches the darker color in the stone would also be nice. . .

With the home being on such a beautiful, lush green space I don't know that I would want to white wash the brick. The red brick grounds the home and fits the surroundings. White is really unusual in nature and and feels unnatural on this type of lot.

Farmhouses weren't white washed as a fashion statement back in the day. They were white washed because paint was expensive and a white wash of lime, salt and water was an inexpensive way to protect the wood from the elements and kept mold and mildew at bay. People with money used colors and brick and stone and other materials.

@ Jennifer, thanks for the historical context. Great options too.
