Asking for color help again

[Big Lou]

Going crazy trying to select coordinating colors for the garage door, wood portion of house, upper trim/gutter and back of house shutters. Pictures attached. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Ohhh boy, I am afraid to comment, dont want to offend LOL ... We dont have many brick homes here, so I cant say I have seen brick with x color and liked it or what not.

I LOVE the front of the house... very pretty house ... like the brick with the black shutters, white trim, and wood colored front door ... The garage end, looks really ugly in comparison ... I dont mind the garage door and trim being white, that seems RIGHT, but the clapboards on that upstairs area needs something to contrast, that goes with the brick ... which is what I dont know LOL ... No help, I know LOL...

No offense taken. We hate everything white. Tornado blew the shutters off. Too expensive to replace and not expensive enough to make insurance claim. Wish we would have had the entire housed bricked but we were trying to save money back when the house was built 20 years ago. If you think of anything give a shout! Oh, that front door is a heavy weight fiberglass with wood grain and oak stain finish $$$$.

Just pick a color you like and paint it. That is what I would do

I dont know what goes with brick LOL ... Our last house was white on white and hated it ... I like white as an accent color, like on the trim or garage door, but after the white house last time, I painted this one BRIGHT YELLOW. If you go to my FB album "our yard bit by bit" you can see how obnoxious it is there. Still need hubby to build the shutters. Damn near broke my neck painting the house ... Note to self ... NEVER dance standing near the top of an extension ladder LOL.

I'm never good at that. I always "pick" the wrong color when I watch home improvement shows...... And then when they eventually choose a color (not the one I chose), it looks so fantastic!

Not white, for sure. The front door looks nice and with the white trim. Why not a similar color, or take a color from the brick palate.

Definitely pick something that goes with your brick and roof. We had a new roof put on, chocolate brown, and the brick on our foundation and our chimney are a mix of reds and orange. We painted the foundation and part of the chimney. Wouldn't recommend doing this but I hate the brick and it won't go with the green siding-

Maybe something like the color of your front door for the garage door but I'm also envisioning some black in the mix somewhere and then for the house boards above the garage something to match the bricky colors. I don't think I'm being much help here. Hey maybe a black garage door or wait red.........ok maybe not............can't decide and glad it's you that has to :biggrin:

Hey wait they have those sites on the net where you can put the photo of your house in their somehow and pick colors and put them on the photo and gives you an idea what it will look like.

I,d paint the white siding a nice burnt orange. Actually, if I had my way I'd paint everything orange!! :cheerful: I just LOVE the colour!

Hello
Are you going to paint the shutters black like the front ?
I might go with a light grey/blue paint for the walls.
The bricks would stand out and it would go well with the roof.

But hey I am no deco person.

Thanks Ruben. The front shutters are no longer in place. They were blown off.

after thinking on it for a bit, I was thinking above the garage a tan color, keeping the garage door white ... I asked hubby, and he said blue would jump off the brick nicely, and he also said keep the garage door white ...

SOOOO... when are you going to tell us all what CATHY decided on???

The shutters wii be black. The georigan brick has random black, gray and off white in them so the upper trim will be white or off white. I'll test grays on the siding and white, off whites on the garage door using Sherwin Williams vitural painting app.
