Either use masonry paint or limewash. Do not use standard acrylic paint. It will peel because it doesn't allow the brick to breathe. I believe you can have the masonry paint custom colored.

I would be concerned about the final product if you used the two colors you have posted. I might consider a dark blue, but not the bright blue you have posted.

Here are some pictures of ranch homes that have 'painted' their brick

I don't know, here's a house with those 2 colors:

My husband and I like it. I also should probably say, this is a beach community.

We haven't ruled out white, which seems to be the most popular choice down here where so many folks paint their brick ranches, but I'm thinking I really do want a little more pop.

And our builder is very familiar with painting brick.

Thanks for your advice, but have you no thought on my actual question?

In the actual paint deck the Daphne looks more blue grey than your sample. I don't love the clay color with it though. How about a more coral color like this:

We have 2 front doors. The main one is an accent color - SW Hazel, the second one we painted the trim color of white.

I would want the front door/entry area to pull the focus. Paint all other exterior doors to blend with the siding, and paint the front door a color that’s noticed.
