What is the best color to coordinate with our red, with blac flecks brick exterior?

Question

we like bold colors, but our contracter said the neighbors would burn it down :)

Answer 1

With a red brick you have tons of options, you could do a cream eggplant and black colour scheme. Or you could just say to h**l with the neighbors, and paint what ever colour you feel like. Good luck.

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

How about a neutral green like "garden path" (# 2829)? It's a nice color - not beige or white - yet it's not so wacky that the neighbors would object to it.

Answer 3

With red brick, I like to see a taupy brown, cream,  or if you prefer grays.
