Halp! Exterior house color
I have Benjamin Moore swatches, because that's the colors I love for indoors.
The house brick is multi-colored and has purples, blue greys, oranges, reds etc. all throughout. The roof is this horrible non matching yellow/orange brown color.
We're having the roughest time getting something that works with the brick and roof.
Any suggestions? You can see the right side of the trim/stucco we've already been applying paint colors. From right to left we've got:
Trim - Dash of Pepper
Trim - Original dark brown color
Trim (bottom of second area) - Blue Ridge Mountains (DH hates this says it's too gold, which it is yellow toned, but so is the roof.)
Trim - Alexandria Beige
Everything on the left side is the original colors. The contrast is too high, and the stucco color has pink undertones. We hate it.
Re: Halp! Exterior house color
These are some pictures I found of the house on the auditors website.
I can't see the second post if photos, but have you thought of stepping away from the brown/white combo?
With the color of your brick, I could see a slate or rich red trim scheme with a complimentary stucco color. A lot of people do a white/blue or sage/dark sage combo, but with your brick I think you have to go bolder and it could look great.
Just a thought.

I haven't thought about going with blue, because of the orangey roof. I've seen examples of it done with greyish blue trim and black roof. Looked sharp.
