A million times better! The color choice gives it a totally different look.

You could go for a plaster with mixed colour taken from the brick palette. And then grow ivy or boston on that wall. That would give a mix of green and brick-colour. Plant a tree as well. But if it was my house - I would plant a tree and ivy, then took care of them :) Grow them high to cover the wall. Changing the paint won't do miracles cause the choice is consistent with windows - which is good!! I own a house with a front brick wall. Plaster instead of siding that was in original design. It was a really happy choice. But what should be done here is to hide that wall that shouldn't be "the first thing you see" or make it so meaningless that nobody cares. See the attachement - colour matching the brick is not better.

This was a huge job, but I love the results. We considered replacing the T1-11 with stucco and stone, vinyl or Hardie boards and decided on Hardie Plank Sheets. We created some visual interest by putting Hardy Plank individual boards diagonally following the roof line.

Is part of the home brick? Can you post a couple of more pictures a little closer to the home so we can get a better look at it? You'll get more responses if you do.
