At the moment we have a multi coloured (red, brown, grey) brick house, with windows in bronze metal. the double door is stained at the moment but very faded as it faces north. We have dark cream trim on the facias and veranda posts. Just need a door colour to POP!
Also the garage door is a brown at the moment and wonder if we should repaint that brown again or another colour.
Maybe a gold color, not solid but just enuf! Maybe if you feel energetic, paint each brick like a reddish brown lol so they all the same color ..
I’m partial to a soft but vivid yellow for the front door. Very popular now and a clean and refreshing pop.
Hi, use a bright peacock blue. It really complements your brick. As for the garage, paint it the same as the facsia boards. Good luck.
get chips of colors you love...check one at a time against the doors, then eliminate which are not inspiring....
Stand back and take a picture of your entire house. You need that perspective because colors that go well together close up might not look so great from a distance. It might help to post the picture with your question here too!
Thanks everyone. I will do as you say.
When you get close, don't rely on a tiny paint chip but get a smaller can of the color to try.
Most companies have them available.
Ace Hardware sells Magnolia Home paint and their colors are very complimentary of brick and they have a large variety. Right off hand I think Vine Ripened Tomato or Under the Stars would look phenomenal. Best of luck!
I think that you should paint the doors in the dark colour shown above, or a dark grey.
