What color would look best exterior paint? I have a brick red w / black and white roof. Have no idea what color to paint, but the rose has got to go ... I do not want it to look washed w / the white top (new). All the houses around me are white and it's too boring. Ideas?
I had the EXACT same problem I painted a blue color and it seems surprising darkroyal
Hope this helps
Perhaps consider the nuances of each side of the accent. Although you may appear reddish brick, see if you can not find two other tones that compliment.
gray
painting the black door.
How about yellow?
I would say a very light yellow as a first choice. I ran across a color comparator visualizationpaint online Benjaman More paintings that allows the user to enter a base color of different home styles and suggested accent colors for trim and other applications that you might be interested in trying and it is free and safe to use.

play with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, in my humble opinion. I like how their color palette is set, I like that you can search by color family and color name, the "painted" the houses are alike the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

If you are fat, then maybe you want something like the teal Tabriz "(# 2937) or" green clover "(# 2934).
You can also take a photo of your house and transfer it to the makeover gallery on this site:

You can get ideas for color and they'll photoshop your room so you can get an idea of what it will look like.
