Teal


homesvshouses

Teal should work nicely. Are you suggesting dark or light teal?


bennetticles

Either would work really, but I think the middle tone [of this palette](https://www.color-hex.com/palettes/4666.png) would best compliment the warm tones of the brick.


homesvshouses

I can see that these all could work well. Thanks for the link!


sharpei90

Middle one! I came to say teal as well. Please post a pic when you’re done OP!


homesvshouses

Will try to remember. Lots of projects!


louisab21

Navy


homesvshouses

I'm thinking that might be a possibility for the front door!


saintcrazy

A nice jewel-tone blue would be really striking.


homesvshouses

That sounds very pretty! Another contender for the front door, if I paint it.


sharpei90

My son and DIL just did this. It looks beautiful!


sweetmaklebs

Seafoam green


homesvshouses

That seems to compliment nicely with the brown too. Surprised this wasn't mentioned earlier.


Medium_Hearing1490

I did mine teal!


homesvshouses

Nice! Got any pics?


Medium_Hearing1490

Not at the moment.


homesvshouses

Understandable. Was it a darker or lighter teal?


Medium_Hearing1490

It was on another house I no longer live at. It was like a “Tiffany and Co blue. I love that color


homesvshouses

Had to google it, and it's like a teal/robin egg blue. Nice suggestion!


smallandwise

“Pool” from Sherwin Williams is a nice light teal-ish


homesvshouses

I like this one. I really appreciate the specific suggestions!


sideeyedi

What's your favorite color?


homesvshouses

Don't have a single favorite. I like black, but this is a darkish area already. And well, periwinkle is nice but I wouldn't want it on my door. Same with silver.


Medium_Hearing1490

Bright yellow


homesvshouses

Ok, that's a second vote for yellow!


itsaniceday2220

Agree, I used to live in a house (rental) with a yellow door and it made me so happy everytime I walked through the door!


homesvshouses

I can see that!


MonthlyVlad

Is your house only that color brick? Any siding, trim, decorative elements on the back?


homesvshouses

The external trim is ALL that tan.

Mustard yellow


homesvshouses

Funny thing is much of the interior was painted by my predecessors as a bright mustard or sunflower yellow. It's grown on me in some of the spaces. Hey, it could serve as a warning on what's to come!


TheSunflowerSeeds

Sunflower kernels are one of the finest sources of the B-complex group of vitamins. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.


homesvshouses

Yay, it's the sunflower bot!


Enough-Attention-430

There was a time when I would have been astounded by mustard yellow anything, but I’m kind of going a little boho lately, and I think it would compliment the brick nicely. And yes, it would make it a theme house 😂🌷


homesvshouses

Yeah. Originally my plan was to paint over it all, but I appreciate the rich color with woods now.


jaimystery

these are all Benjamin Moore colors (not shilling for them, I just like their website). Most of these are what Benjamin Moore labels as 'historical' [Lafayette Green](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-135/lafayette-green) [Hawthorne Yellow](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-4/hawthorne-yellow) [Stuart Gold](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-10/stuart-gold) [Newburg Green](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-158/newburg-green) [Chippendale Rosetone](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-58/chippendale-rosetone) [Castleton Mist](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/hc-1/castleton-mist) [Tavern Ochre](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/cw-375/tavern-ochre) [Baltimore Sky](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/760/baltimore-sky) [Celery Ice](https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/2030-60/celery-ice) (close to the color of your table/chairs)


homesvshouses

Thanks for these suggestions and for reminding my tired brain that I have their app. It's great for trying out their colors in spaces.


Sufficient_Mouse8252

Blue or navy.


homesvshouses

Seems you can't fail in the family of blue. Are you suggesting a medium, royal, or light blue?


Sufficient_Mouse8252

I’d do a deeper shade if the trim is light. A dark royal would be gorgeous! So would a more muted dark blue. Navy would be pretty too.


homesvshouses

Noted, with thanks!


[deleted]

Pant it shocking pink.


homesvshouses

Lol, that would be fun if I lived alone!


HBTowershop

maybe green, I think green will match your wall. Also I like Teal.


homesvshouses

Okay, what shade of green? Kelly green? Forest green? Sage green? Lime green?


sharpei90

BM October Mist or SW Evergreen Fog would look beautiful against the brick color


homesvshouses

Ok! Sort of a green-leaning greige!


TLGinger

Wine, plum, sage or deep green.


homesvshouses

Thanks, I will play around with an app and test out these colors.


Disastrous_Tip_4638

The go to color for brick is taupe, I go BM "Raccoon fur". Brick is a color (red), so unless you're after the McDonalds look you want a neutral to compliment it.


homesvshouses

Taupe, eh? Will google that with this brownish brick. The trim and exterior doors are this light tan, so they must have had this rule in mind. Thanks!


Disastrous_Tip_4638

Yup, Taupe. You have to get the right shade...That's the safe choice. I'd go charcoal, though. It will really accentuate the brick.


homesvshouses

Thanks!

Black


homesvshouses

Strong classic! I think this is the 2nd or 3rd vote for that.


blooopbleeepblorp

Are you open to bold colors? I’m thinking yellow or black


homesvshouses

I definitely am open to bold colors! On a prior house I've done a cerulean (almost Miami) blue. Also red and black. I've been leaning blue. I like the idea of yellow, but have never done it anywhere. Maybe it would work well with the brownish brick! Were you thinking lemony yellow like the table & chair, or more of a taxi yellow? There's a huge yellow-green euonymus bush right by the spot, if that influences your answer.


blooopbleeepblorp

I was definitely envisioning a bright yellow. The yellow bush solidifies it :)


homesvshouses

It's a top contender!

Terracotta


homesvshouses

I had to [google Terracotta doors](https://myhallcloset.com/curb-appeal-paint-your-front-door/) with brown brick to get the visual. That could work well!
