The biggest brown thing is the roof- is that what you are asking about? I assume the siding and windows are vinyl so remain unchanged?

Yep your roof and the brick will keep you in the brown zone.

It's better to try to avoid painting brick because as is, it's a wonderful no maintenance required surface. And in your case, as the others have said, the roof is going to prevent you from making a palette change. The brick is in shadow, so I can't really tell if it's very brown, or leaning red. If it's red you could get a gray roof when it's time to replace it and change the color scheme. You could paint your garage door the color of the siding to reduce the amount of brown in the meantime.

Yes, the brown roof is what determines color that can be used on your house. Right now, your house is a perfect color for your brown roof, and your brown brick, and No, I would not paint nor whitewash your brick. You could paint the garage doors the color of the siding. Your house, actually looks very nice, except the landscaping needs improving. Those pruned round balls, need to be removed, and nicer bushes or plants put in their place.

Great idea on landscaping. The roof is a brown orange. Brick has a lot of black mixed in it. Plantings and a tree could improve the look.

Remove the shutters on the double window - brown gone. Get proper sized shutters for the 2 upper windows in a couple of shades darker than the siding - brown gone. Paint the garage door to match the new shutters and add a row of windows - brown gone. Paint the front door the color of the new shutters - brown gone. Eventually get a better door for the style of your house. Those leaded brass oval windows are ugly. Larger lights on garage. Update the landscaping

I think you should keep the brick. If you can not change the roof color maybe the exterior could be light. You could paint the rest a light ivory or beige color staying in the brown family. Maybe something like this.

If you change your roof you will have more options

Great input !!

Really like the more white color with the brown orange roof. We are evaluating roof end of life estimate. That will tell us if we have to work with it or replace.

I would remove all of the shutters. They don't add anything. Paint the garage door and the sidelights the same color as the siding.

Here is a close up of the brick.

Yes paint the brick and siding all the same color..a light gray or pretty blue..trim all white and white shutters..garage could be white or paint it to match front door…I like adding a darker grey into the mix for front door and garage..have fun brighten it up! it needs a fresh look.🤗

Agree with no shutters. See what you find out about the roof since the color can be challenging. If you end up keeping it, white washing the brick could be an option. Since the garage door is in front and prominent, consider one with windows across the top to add interest.

Roof news - it needs replaced so now what? Maybe black or grey roof then what colors? Maybe pull from colors in brick?

I would do a Grey roof with blue door and touches of blue in landscape plantings. Shutters should go. There’s already a lot of “molding” around windows.

What is your budget after the new roof?? You need a more attractive garage door. Look at the house next to you - it has a medium/light gray roof and the siding looks like the same color as yours. Do you like it? You can paint siding and you can paint brick, so go with whatever colors you love and you can afford.

Is there brick all around the house or just on the front?

Charcoal black roof..classic and you can add any colors you want..the brick is not gorgeous and not a beautiful classic brick…paint it..check into the new Rino paint…your home needsca update you are on the right track!

Charcoal roof and one without a lot of variegation, so it doesnt look too busy with your brick and siding.

Yep! Gray or charcoal gray roof from your brick!

or with Romabio on brick as well

With light garage

Brick is just on the front

Since the brick is only on the front, I'd do a whitewash or paint on it. You can get it tinted to match your siding. It will look good with a dark roof. Remove the shutters or match them to the roof.

Consider adding "windows" to the garage doors. You can buy kits that will give you the look even thought the windows are fake. Beef up the porch column and consider installing a new contemporary front door.
