Just because you have a brick home doesn’t mean you are committed to its natural color. There has been a trend to paint brick or choose vibrant colors to match with the brick exteriors. Brick can prove challenging since it naturally contains variances in colors. This is important to remember as you work to find a pairing color for the other elements of your home. The variances can cause some colors to feel brighter and more assaulting on the eyes. But fear not! You can still create a stunning palette to go with your bricks. Here are some colors we know work to get you started.

Go Safe With White

White bricks are a great choice because it’s a sophisticated feel on a traditional brick. The texture of the mortar makes the white have some style to it. You can also bring white brick inside in the form of a fireplace. White brick exteriors are a popular choice when paired with another color for trim or the remainder of the exterior.

A Bold and Beautiful Black

While black seems counterintuitive, it’s the perfect way to showcase your bricks. Using the black against a bright brick creates the feeling of muted charcoal rather than strictly black. If you are considering a deep color like this in our area, remember the sun tends to leach pigments from colors. This will work best if your home is more shaded and protected from the sun. When paired with bricks, it is a timeless and secure look that will last through many seasons.

Choose a Blue Hue

You don’t have to shy away from the color spectrum when choosing what color to paint your brick. In fact, deep, dark blue is the perfect answer to mute brand new bricks. Again, remember deep colors can be leached by the sun. This color will work best in shaded or protected areas of your walls. This not quite navy is a win with brick because it reigns in the warm colors of the bricks to a manageable level.
