Paint color recommendations for beige house and roof

last year

I'm looking for some recommendations on paint colors. The issue I'm having is the brick on my house and the metal roof are both in the tan/beige category. The brick has more yellow (and orange/pink/brown) in it than the metal roof and fence. I'm looking to paint the garage, which is bare, pressure treated T1-11 right now. Also wanting to do the fascia, soffits, gables. Possibly the trim, windows (vinyl), and doors (steel and fiberglass). I don't want to paint the brick or the roof. Best idea I have been able to come up with so far is just try and match the grout color (light gray). Any other ideas or recommendations, please? Thanks in advance.

I would go with charcoal gray from your brick for the siding.

The picture of the entire house looks faded and blurry but I also suggest a dark gray. I'd offset the windows and trim in white, grey gable, shutters, fence and garage siding.

I had done the sketch before you mentioned the shutters had been removed.

I would stay away from gray.

a creamy white color will make the house appear larger.

I would remove all the shutters. The brick, regardless of the color adds texture and interest.

choose several creamy white colors and bring them home and look at them against the roof in natural light.

Thanks for the feedback! The whole house photo is a couple years old. Shutters got hammered in a hail storm so they have been gone for a while. I think it looks better without them, but I'm no expert.

Do you have a whole-house current photo? You can go to any paint company's website and use their paint color emulator on your whole-house photo. Quick and easy. I'd start with trying a medium pinky tan from the brick colors.

Here is a sketch for one idea of color blocking with brown fascia, posts, and trim and tan siding. Beef up the porch posts with wood cladding. My screen is not good at colors so hard to nail down a shade of tan that goes with brick and roof.

Sorry, work has been busy and took me a few days to get home early enough to take pictures in the daylight. First whole house photo probably looked faded because that's what the sun out here in west Texas does to things. Here are a couple newer photos.
