![]() Painting your trim in Jockey Hollow Gray by Benjamin Moore will pull out these tones. In fact, many bricks naturally have specks of gray and beige stone in them, and mortar often appears greige from a distance. It’s one of the best brick and paint color combos in our book. If you’re keeping your red brick au natural, greige trim can give it a polished look. #7 // Natural Red Brick and Jockey Hollow Gray by Benjamin Moore On this home, painting all of the non-brick siding in Iron Ore by Sherwin Williams and the trim and accents in Onyx by Benjamin Moore provides a rich, deep contrast and pulls out Seapearl’s gray undertones. Seapearl looks especially lovely on brick because the front-facing bricks appear off-white, and the crevices between the brick look gray, providing built-in dimension. It’s not like you need our permission, but as you can tell from our recommendations thus far, we often recommend using both Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore paints together in one design! When painted on properly prepped brick, both brands perform beautifully. #6 // Seapearl and Onyx by Benjamin Moore and Iron Ore by Sherwin Williams Here, the designer recommended accents painted in Iron Mountain by Benjamin Moore and Natural Choice and Porpoise, both by Sherwin Williams. And this home has so many beautiful architectural elements to accentuate with paint. Paints with warm undertones complement the warm brick showing through. On the house above, our designer suggested the Classico limewash by ROMABIO. This lovely effect gives an aged, historic feel to a home, with hints of brick still showing through. If you’re dealing with brick that’s never been painted, you have the opportunity to try a limewash. #5 // Classico Limewash by ROMABIO with Iron Mountain by Benjamin Moore and Natural Choice and Porpoise by Sherwin Williams (Urbane Bronze is one of our top Sherwin Williams exterior paint colors for 2021, in large part due to its versatility.) Pro tip: Bronze or copper gutters and downspouts look phenomenal with a clay tile roof and beige paint. In this example, accents in Urbane Bronze by Sherwin Williams provide depth and bridge the gap between the lighter beige and the saturated roof tile color. One of our designers’ go-to beige choices is Grant Beige by Benjamin Moore. Such a unique roof should be the focal point of an exterior design, and red brick can compete with it. #4 // Grant Beige by Benjamin Moore and Urbane Bronze by Sherwin Williamsīrick homes with orange clay tile roofs look so fresh and modern when the brick is painted beige or off-white. Olympic Mountains takes center stage on the brick, Jockey Hollow Gray adorns the soffits and fascia, and Simply White completes the look by highlighting the trim. Rather than serving as a point of contrast, these paint colors complement one another. This warm, earthy brick and paint color combination brings a sense of harmony to the home’s facade. #3 // Olympic Mountains, Jockey Hollow Gray, and Simply White by Benjamin Moore This brick and paint color combo is modern and offers understated drama. Alabaster isn’t a stark white, nor is Tricorn Black a stark black, so this isn’t a harsh black-and-white checkerboard-style combo. Tricorn Black was used on the garage doors and front door above. ![]() ![]() When going this route, we suggest adding some dimension and depth with accents in a darker paint, such as Tricorn Black by Sherwin Williams. Our designers used Alabaster on the brick, trim, and siding pictured on home above. This paint color reads differently across textures, so it’s a great choice for use on a variety of home exterior materials. #2 // Alabaster and Tricorn Black by Sherwin WilliamsĪlabaster by Sherwin Williams is such a good option for brick. Simply White (painted on the trim here) gives off a warm glow, which both pulls out and contrasts with the gray undertones of Seapearl (painted on the brick). ( Learn what LRV is and why it matters, especially with white paint.) While these similar colors create a monochromatic color scheme, their different undertones provide a subtle contrast. Simply White‘s LRV is 91.7, so it is much brighter. With an LRV of 77.95, Seapearl is an off-white. In fact, we named Benjamin Moore’s Seapearl our exterior paint color of the year. These Benjamin Moore classics are two of our favorite white paints. #1 // Seapearl and Simply White by Benjamin Moore
