Such a helpful video! Thank you so much! ❤️
Benjamin Moore Ballet White is gorgeous on stucco.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve really enjoyed your videos!!!
Thanks so much for saying that!
Apparently everyone on my block besides me decided that white would be the ideal color and all the houses are white whether they are brick, natural stone or stucco. I don’t understand why people want to paint low maintenance brick to make it another maintenance cost. I will keep my original brick color and now am the standout color 😊
I recently painted my Craftsman style house SW Tempe Star with SW Natural Choice for the trim. My front door is painted BM Coral Gables.
My sister has a Mediterranean style stucco house that she recently painted SW White Duck. Her large back deck is painted SW Sealskin.
We are both really happy with our choices!
My former home was painted in SW Pure White. I lived there for 16 years. When I was buying the house, I wanted it to be white so the design center told me to go to a sister neighborhood and see if I liked any of the white homes. There were a few. I loved the pure white with red door. My red door was a different shade and I had black shutters. I had so many compliments over the years. It was a stunning house. I sold it to downsize.
SW Pure White is a great choice for a true white. Technically, it's considered an off-white, which is why it doesn't read too stark outside!
Can I ask what direction. The front of your house faced? Thanks
Just seeing your video for the first time, thank your for the tips. My conundrum is matching my siding with the surrounding brick. It is currently red brick and the siding is a light beige with green undertones. Most houses are now using black--too stark, and grey--which grey, or even an expresso. Hope you can make a video on this. Much appreciated!
Without seeing your home, hard to make the call. A start could be trying BM Edgecomb Gray and seeing what that does!
What is the colour behind you ❤it’s beautiful….so glad I found your channel …..
Absolutely love this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
hello, what goes well with an ontario red brick and light gray roof (shingles)?
Great overall information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this...I am about to paint a house this week. Here are my thought, my window are are white and we have trees that make it more shady and not as much light on the house. What do you think?
Roof is dark black
Siding- Agreeable Grey
Trim - Pure White
White Windows
Front door- Wood stain, maybe Cedar, Redwood, or walnut?
Check out Sherwin Williams "Accessible Beige" - it's even more of a beige/greige hybrid type than the colors you've detailed here. And great video - you have great, classic taste.
Oh yes, I love Accessible Beige!
Can you let me know the color of cabinets behind you 🙏 it so beautiful- I was thinking something like that for our kitchen.
BM Britannia Blue
Always paint your house the colors and sheen it
came in at the time.
Example: 1960 home paint it in the 60 colors not cape cod colors.
Hi, and thank you for the video. We have a house with wood cedar shingles on the front, black front door and porch painted black. Then we have a different siding on the north and south sides. I'm not sure what to paint those sides of the house and what color trim would work best and what would go with the front wood cedar singles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I would like for you to suggest trim for different brick types. I have brown brick with taupey siding. Looking for a good trim and door color
Hi there! Take a look at this video: How to choose a neutral color, plus the best neutral paint colors
czcams.com/video/fHdhbbaoCBY/video.html you will need a neutral that relates to your brick
Hi im from uk but im visiting Australia to see my parents . I’m painting their kitchen /lounge dinner. Mum wants a feature wall in blue .then dulux antique white will be on all other walls . The kitchen cupboards are a buttermilk colour (sadly ) and all the walls were buttermilk too . Your blue choices sound great . Is ther anything else would you suggest . Thanks Yvette
This exact topic was on my mind, so happy you posted!
Glad you found it helpful!
What is the trim color used for the SW Oyster White house? Thank you for posting this!
Not sure, sorry! If you are going with oyster white as a body color, depending on your other fixed elements you’ll either go with oyster white for your trim too (this is a very updated look!) or a true white color like SW high reflective white
Would love to know your paint color suggestion for a deck off the back of our house the body color of the house is SW Orchard
What colors do you recommend most for grey roof shingles
I have a house with a low slope white pvc roof. Bottom of the front of the house has dark, uniform red brick. Front door is red. Garage is prominently in front (of course). Do you think a white colored body with dark trim would work for this house? I’m considering staining the bricks as needed. Thanks.
Can you recommend a trim color for shutters for a two story white home with a warm color roof?
I like BM saybrook sage or SW debonair
This was a wonderful and helpful video!
Can you share the paint information on the cabinets behind you, that is beautiful!
I am watching this on 6/28/24 and Sherman Williams has just gone under.
SW is alive and well. A local branch may have closed in your town, but the company as a whole is doing just fine. Cabinets are BM Britannia Blue.
which soft white cream exterior color goes with a terracotta roof with white window?
Love your video and hope you will be doing more of them. I currently have a pinkish orange brick ranch somewhat like the brick home with too bright blue shutters. I went with a gray roof instead of brown only because im so sick of brown. Our gable area is a lighter gray. Thinking about a dark creamy gray for accents (shutters). Does this seem ok to you?
So hard to make suggestions in this case (too various undertone issues) without seeing your home. I do offer virtual color consults if you're interested: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
Looking for a taupe right now to go with the taupe/purple stone on the house
Pale oak is a pretty taupe.
What colour front door would you recommend with a walnut door frame please?
The sky is the limit if you only need to consider the walnut door frame. Take a look at your body color first and find a nice accent color. Your walnut door frame is like a pair of jeans...goes with everything.
@@homelikeyoumeanit thank you for replying....
Love this video. Do you have any where you show "These colors look really bad. These would look better." You know---where you actually show what they SHOULD have selected. That bright blue on the brick house near the end is just horrid and I see that often. Too often.
what color white goes with a gray brick with a very dark purple for trim and fascia almost looks black
Struggling to decide on color of new windows - either bronze or white. Any suggestions on how to approach this decision as it is an expensive one! Is there any application with a visualizer to see options? Need to paint as well and like the taupe family. Thoughts?
Hello! There is much to consider here! Please consider an exterior consultation. You can check out my services here: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
Having the hardest time with picking a white for an east/west exterior. Black roof, white windows, greenery around. Doing a lot of testing and it’s difficult!
Hi there! I am available for exterior color consults if you need help. You may need to go a bit warmer with your whites and that might solve the problem.
@@homelikeyoumeanit thank you. Hopefully Greek villa is warm enough.
So informative and detailed!! What color family would you go with for a terracotta red with black highlighted asphalt shingles. I can't decide which way to go with such a bright roof, and replacing just isn't an option!
Look at Greige and beige colors!
@homelikeyoumeanit thanks, for narrowing it down. It's hard to find information on pairing with roof color in mind!
Thank you for the tips! What color should I paint my garage door? It is surrounded by brick but it is trimmed in cream. Should I paint it black to go with the color of the shutters and roof or paint it cream to go with the color of the siding on the other side of the house? Thank you
Trim color for sure! Black garage doors have an expiration date that is fast approaching!
@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate you taking time to respond. Cream it is!
Hi. I really need help picking the right color for the exterior of my house. I have a sienna color roof and tan vinyl fence. What color would you recommend for the exterior of my house ?
Hello! Too much to get into in a comment. Please consider checking out my online paint color consulting services!
I am currently remodeling my 1940s craftsman bungalow style home. Im doing matte black roof, shoji white body, pure white trim, urbane bronze accent and 50% special walnut stain for gables and porches. Is this a good combo?
Maybe a bit too much going on. If you are doing a black roof, ideally you should repeat that color somewhere. Shutters, doors, etc. Perhaps go with a warmer roof that relates to the walnut stain more and forget the black altogether.
I concur as I did a two tone exterior with urbane bronze and shoji white with alabaster trim with an existing gray roof. The roof doesn't work as well as it would if it were brownish in color in my opinion
I'm having a very difficult time searching for a body paint for my Hardie board which is in big triangles above my mixed brick exterior. The brick is mostly clay colored with brown and black bricks dotting it. It's awful. I'm not going to paint the brick. Just the Hardie siding parts and the trim. I already have black clad windows. I would love to go dark and I would love to go green because my stand alone garage will be all one color and I would love a dark green on the garage. My roof is a mix of light and medium dark charcoal. If you have a service which I could utilize to suggest the best color combo (where I send you pics) please let me know.
Hi! I’d love to help you with a virtual paint consultation. I’m sold out this week, but will reopen them again on Monday. You can find my services here: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
Should anyone recommend Greek Villa on exterior? Looking for a soft white but too creamy like Shoji White! Thanks…
So greek villa is pretty, but it can come off as too stark outside if you want more of a creamy white exterior.
greek villa is beautiful indoors with wood and natural color tones. I have it indoor paired with SW evergreen fog and another room with a wall painted with SW grays harbor with acorn mid century furniture and an oatmeal sofa with avocado green OS chairs - really cozy and clean @@homelikeyoumeanit
I see a lot of black doors with gold hardware which I don’t want. Would brown bronze door handle look okay on a black door?
I would just black hardware!
Having trouble pulling together an exterior paint color palette for my home. The exterior is stucco with a terracotta roof. Please help
Hello! It's so hard to give specific color advice without seeing all of the elements on your home and how they work together. I'd be happy to help you with an exterior consult. Please check out my services here: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
hi. Love your video. I'm in the process of remodeling a home. What exterior color would you recommend for 1002 Sue Houston, TX 77009?
Please remove your address and email me! Ashley@homelikeyoumeanit.com
The gray house with white trim and red door is exactly what we’ve been looking for. Can you suggest what colors would work for this?
Perhaps try SW gray clouds, SW extra white and Poinsettia.
I would love to see more examples of Mediterranean style homes.
Thanks for the feedback! I will remember that for my next video!
Would have been great to see more front door colours on brick homes. Only one at the end with a black door, hardly creative.
I tend to agree that black doors are “hardly creative,” but they are so timeless and I do love them. Hopefully, you can pull some inspiration from the blues and greens I shared, as those are my personal favorites to pair with brick homes.
girl i dont care i just slsp two colors i did greek villa is brite and brown it looks pretty cool but yes its very brite
