I would have never thought of combining that with the color of the grout. I'll definitely recommend this to my friend who's been trying to work on his home. He's got a beige-ish red brick motif so your advice should work well. Hey, I like the idea of using a complementary color for the trim.

Single window on each side top and bottom with no trim around windows. Gutters and little trim by roof is tan. Basically looks like big pink box. We're getting a new roof and I would greatly appreciate ideas on deterring from Pink - short of staining or painting the brick.

I am sending out an S.O.S. plea.... We are in the process of stripping all the old, horrible paint off our 1930s brick home. I need to pick out new paint colors for the addition and trim ASAP. I am completely at a loss as to what color scheme will work with our multi-colored brick. I would probably go with an "almost black" brown or green for the windows (to keep a traditional look and offset our white window treatments) but that leaves me with the challenge of selecting a complimentary paint color for our ugly addition. I seriously don't know which way to turn here. I would be ever so grateful for some guidance. Thank you!

Problem is, each section has a different brick color. One is red with gray tones, one is Chicago fire brick (orange/gray tones) and one is cream colored. The doors are painted a dark blue-green. The current siding/trim color is a light off white. Any suggestions? Oh, and we have black iron work railings on patios, balconies and stairways.

I am considering using a taupe/ beige similar to the mortar in the sandstone for the main house colour. What colour should the shutters be? I am thinking black doors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. We are painting our30 year old 2 storey house which has a sandstone lower front half.

We are painting the shutters and door. The door is framed with molding. I would love a red door thatvcompliments the brick without fading away. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
