Need coordinating colors

3 years ago

Please help me choose colors. Our goal is to reduce the amount of white and tone down the pinks in the brick. The new roof is a mix of gray/brown and we'll be getting new white vinyl windows with white wrap. I don't want to go too dark overall, so tell me where you think white, or off-white makes sense and what siding color and garage door color would be a good choice for the brick. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, every time I take one the weather doesn't cooperate.

    Sage green for all the trim and the clapboards.

    I'm not sure if a bot is responding or not, this exact picture shows up a lot on questions re: reddish/orange brick. I'm looking to incorporate white and don't see any in the example shown.

    @prple M your OP said you wanted to reduce the amount of white.


    Our goal is to reduce the amount of white


    But your comment says you want to incorporate white. Which is it?

    @Patricia Colwell Consulting Because my posts aren't being responded to with anything other than the exact photo both you and Sabrina posted. @Sabrina Alfin Interiors Reduce, not eliminate. We want to keep some white in the final design. Is sage green truly the only option of all the colors? Thank you

    There are other color choices, but the photo from Sabrina is posted frequently since the color is one of the nicer choices with your brick. Depending on what you prefer, another option might be a light shade that blends with the mortar in the bricks.

    Blue green is a popular color with pinkish brick, but no, it is not the only option.


    I have deep Cherokee red with pink brick


    I also have a blue sign near the entry




    Interior I have a the same brick and selected taupe walls (BM Frosted Toffee) but also have a purple red and green slate floor.





    It is hard because photos of brick can photograph very differently at different times of the day, but here are a few ideas that may work for you.







    Most blues and greens will work well, but I may seek out a more neutral color or a brown red so that the top siding isn't competing for attention with the brick.


    I would want the siding to be less of an eye catcher and the brick to be the main focal point.

    I love red, so I may do red or I may do a neutral, I probably wouldn't do blue or green or blue green.

    I like the way the color in Jennifer’s fourth photo looks with the brick and mortar.

    Another color that can look good with the brick is BM Nantucket Gray. Don't go by the name or by looking at a small chip. Outside it has more of a khaki look. We used it on our first house back in 2000 and unfortunately don't have any exterior photos.

    Thank you, all! So very helpful to see mockup photos, I'm very grateful to you for this.


    What do you think about the Savannah Wicker or Natural Clay? Also, should we switch to white gutters so it's not too dark?

  • 3 years ago

    Gutters are not something I want to draw attention to, so I prefer when they are a similar color to whatever is behind them or next to them,


    As for the color, you need to see it next to your brick and decide if it is the right color. I would see if the can order 2 or three pieces of siding so you have enough to make a good assessment of how it will look (usually they can order just a few pieces for repairs).

  • 3 years ago

    The Savannah Wicker looks more yellow than what I would be targeting, natural clay looks good, but I wouldn't pick until I had a large enough sample to really see it.

    Some nice color combos was given you in you in some previous posts by Beverly and houssaon .

  • 3 years ago

    It isn't possible for me or anyone to help you with seeing the whole fan deck spread out like that.


    Can you unscrew the end of the binding screw post and tape the contenders against the brick with 6-12 inches between each sample? Provide pictures from a few different distances.
