Need help choosing a paint color for my exterior home

I vote for painting it white. With black or beige trimming.

What color are your new windows? I would use a muted green and allow the trim and plantings for great pops of color.

light gray with darker trim maybe google Fixer upper photos

the brick looks nice I would just paint the trim and Shutters in the white or a cream....Brick is beautiful as natural.

I would recommend a taupe color to blend with the roof.

I have been in love all my life with 'white washed' brick homes. They have a patina of a history of elegance and the gardens around them take on a sophisticated accent to the home. Then I would choose a more pastel satin shade of trim like a dove grey, not much 'gloss or color'.

I suggest a white or cream color with black shutters and a aqua front door.

My stucco house is white with blue shutters ,& I love it. My neighbor's house is a medium brown, with a different blue trim, & I love that, so I can't advise on color. It's just a matter of taste. Something to consider though, is that brick needs to breathe to work properly. I don't know if there are special paints that allow for this, but I would do some investigating before painting.

Get rid of the black, use a teal on the trim and shutters and one shade darker of the teal for the front door.

You are better to Power Wash it , will look like new ,not good to paint brick, takes away value

I agree with the other comments, power wash all the brick as it makes it look new again. I would paint all the trim and doors your favorite color. Mine would be a grey blue. It is just stunning that color. Go to a paint store and get some swatches and bring them home and try to picture your house in the colors. Lovely house by the way. Let us know what you decide.

I would paint the Brick and all trim White. then the Shutters paint Black. Paint the Front Door a Vibrant color, such as Red or Fuchsia or Purple...be striking!!!!

I would suggest driving around and looking at houses that have your color of brick. You might see something you like and colors you don't like! Don't paint the brick!

I WOULDN'T paint, it'll B an upkeep, either chipping/soiling. Just paint trim, preferable light colors

Looks fine the way it is. U know what they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it, leave well alone.

Light gray with dark gray shutters and burgundy front door

Make sure whatever you do that it will work your roof color!

Blanca, I know that you live in a hot climate, and the problem that you'll have with ANY paint is that in time it is going to flake and peel off. Your house is lovely, but if it was me, I believe, I'd get rid of the black/brown and white trim, and paint all that with a nice pinky beige color, that is lighter than, but blends in with the existing brick. You'll be happier, I think, in the long run. A Floridian who's been there!

My husband is a bricklayer and has said it is not good to paint brick. However if you do, be sure to buy good quality paint for brick.

in a hot climate you only need to really clean your brick really really good and any wood can be painted and color but I would only paint my favorite color on the wood.my opinion ,but let me ask you one question, what did you see or like about the house when you first saw drove up to it to look at ? go with the thought

I would do a "whitewash" on the brick to lighten it up. Maybe paint the shutters darker.

Take a look at this house. They did a technique called the german smear on the brick. I've never done it but you could check into it. It's an alternative to painting but some of the brick still shows through. It really gave the house a fresh new look. Good luck!

I agree, leave brick alone except for power wash. Wood & other painted areas, I would suggest a 3 color scheme - cream color that blends with brick colors & looks good. For a mid color, a medium pinkish mauve, & for accent a cranberry or burgundy that coordinates with the mid color. Paint door & facia cranberry & other areas cream & mid colors.

Get some markers or colored pencils & play around with those colors on paper in a similar design as your house til you find what you like best. Most of all, use colors that coordinate & compliment each other with the brick & roof.

Should you ever wish to sell, you may not want to have to repaint the brick & all trim for buyers in order to effect a sale, that could get expensive quick.

Down the road I think you'll wish you never painted that brick. Instead, make those changes with painting the trim. Etc. a color that you love...

Married to a bricklayer for many years, painting brick is a sin!!!!!

Sage Green for the wood in peaks, don't paint the brick. White trim, with dark forest shutters. You need white trim 2x6 in the peak on the left side to mimic the horizontal and vertical beams and windows in other peak.. paint the front door sage also, so that it stands out.

Hi Blanca, I totally agree with Laura. . You cant go wrong with Sage Green. She said exactly what I would do except the dark green shutters. I would do sage also. I really love the earthy color. The brick is beautiful the way it is. Sage matches all the trees flowers and all Gods outdoor creations .It is also classy and very calming. You have such a beautiful piece of property and I would love to see it kept as natural as can be. Natural is beautiful with everything don't you agree. Your landscaping is so sweet it would look so nice with that gorgeous color. If I could, I would come and paint it for you, just so you could see how beautiful it would be. All the best to you from Ontario Canada. Cheers ah!

Hi Blanca. I had a complete remodel done on an old brick house which consisted of new windows, etc. Because of the new windows and a change to the design of the house I HAD to paint the brick because the new brick didn't match the old. With all that being said I opted to a light grey (because I had a new metal roof installed which was black) and so far it's been doing well. The only downside is the red clay staining the lighter colored brick.

I agree with the others in not painting the brick unless you have to. Your brick is beautiful and you can get a lot of pop with painting the shutters, trim, etc. Your brick matches nicely with your shingles as it is.

Good luck!

My neighbor just recently painted her brick house a light to medium grey with the shutters around windows painted black. It looks great! I'll recommend that
