Which exterior paint color would look best?

Question

I have a redish brick w/black and white roof. Have no idea what color to paint but the pink has got to go... I don't want it to look washed out w/the white roof (brand new.) All the houses around me are white and that's too boring. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I would suggest a very light yellow as a first choice. I ran across a online color visualizationpaint matcher by Benjaman More paints that allows the user to input a base color from different home styles and it suggests accent colors for trim work and other applications you might be interested in trying out & it's free and safe to use.

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors 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" homes look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

If you're bold, then maybe you'd like something like "tabriz teal" (# 2937) or "clover-green" (# 2934).

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

paint the front door black.

Answer 5

Maybe consider shades on either side to accent. While your brick may look redish, see if you can't find two other tones that would compliment.
