Modern Farmhouse Color Palette with Red Brick We love a green house with red brick! In this case, we picked SW Retreat, which is a muted green color that prevents the palette from looking like a Christmas palette. Rushing River by Sherwin Williams is a lovely mid-toned green-gray that contrasts with the red brick and ties in with the green-gray color. We like it because it’s not as dark as other navy blue paint colors. SW Granite Peak is another subdued color that becomes more colorful and lively outside. If you took it inside it would look like a boring beige. Otherwise the yellow color would look harsh like a caution sign! SW Straw Harvest is one of those colors. The secret to picking a yellow paint color for your house (especially with red brick) is to choose a beige with yellow undertones. An urban myth was that the blue would keep wasps away too! The tradition comes from a century ago when homeowners thought that painting their front porch ceiling blue would keep ghosts out of their house because they didn’t travel over water. The blue ceiling is a typical treatment for classic southern cottages. This palette uses SW Jogging Path, a mid-toned green-gray the same as the grout color. Here are 6 of our favorite paint color palettes with red brick. The longer the warrantee the better the paint. Dark colors fade faster than light ones but if you pick a high-quality paint it won’t matter as much.

If you pick one paint color for siding and stucco on a house the stucco will look darker. Surfaces with rough textures such as stucco make surfaces look darker.

Most grout is a green-gray, but sometimes we see taupe grout too.
