If you are keeping the buff brick, get a dark brown roof, not reddish like you have now. Gray won’t look good with buff.

Have the roofing company put up large samples of three possibilities on your roof before you commit. My roofing company did and it was very helpful.

I aam not sure a charcoal will work. It might if you change the trim color to white and gray garage doors. If you go for new siding consider board and batten and remove the shutters.

Thank you - I think you’re right. I’d prefer brown but without any red undertone.

I also think a dark brown roof is what will look the best on your house. You might want to wait until the roof is done before you pick colors. However, it has to be something a bit darker. That end that faces the street does not blend in at all. Its the first thing anyone sees when driving by, or coming to your house.

Agree with cat_ky the siding does not at all blend in with the rest of your lovely home. In my view it actually detracts from the home. Maybe some of the pro's on here will have suggestions of what would be a better color.

I'm a fan of brick in general, but if you have siding all around your house and just this small amount of brick, it might make more sense to stain (not paint) your brick. Romabio is the appropriate product for staining brick.

I like the brown garage doors, although if you picked a creamy tan to match your lighter bricks, you'd see the windows better. I agree the siding should match the brick. Also, I'd be sure you have a warm color for the roof, your brick has warm tones.

Get samples and hold them up against the brick. My roofer gave me a ton of samples (which I had to return) to help me re-roof my tiny garage (ie not a big job).
