Comments (7)Are you painting the brick or just the siding. I assume it’s the brick if you want it white. Romabio makes a great mineral paint that is designed for use on masonry products. Off whites usually look better than true whites. Sometimes light grays or beiges are best, so they aren’t too washed out in exterior light. I’m not one for a bright white, but with your black roof you probably don’t want to go too earthy either. Here are some good pointers https://thecolorconcierge.com/exterior-white-paint-schemes/ Once you’ve narrowed it down to a few, get sample pots and paint large boards to hold up next to your house (hopefully you have some leftover shingles to put next to it) to see how the light behaves in different areas. If facing northeast, I may lean toward warmer whites like SW Alabaster or Greek Villa. But test! If you’re not painting the brick, I would go for something to work with the pink. Not white....See Moreexterior paint help!!!
Comments (10)Computer simulations are only going to get you so far. Time to get a big board (at least ten square feet) and paint some samples. Prime it and apply two color coats to get the right effect. You can move the board around to all sides of the house to see how the color looks in different light. The two colors recommended are very similar. They are both medium tones. They are lighter than what you have, but not off whites. Only you are going to know if they're the right amount of light/dark for you. You can always move down the chip to a darker version if they do end up looking too light. I'm not usually a fan of painting brick, but you don't have very much of it and it does seem to be creating a problem with finding a solution, so do give it some thought....See Moreexterior paint help / suggestions
