What color?
is the exterior of your residence?
Mine is currently a dark green and brick. The bricks are a darker orangier red. I'm trying to decide what color to paint it in the fall. Any suggestions?
This sort of brick color http://www.brick.com/cgi-bin/viewHo...name=Weir+Plant

Mine is a cream-coloed white. I really hate it - shows *all* the dirt - it even gets streaky after it rains.

Well, mine was white with black trim but that's changing. When all is said and done it will be a color called sungold for the siding with white trim and black shutters. Half of the house is already completed and it looks great.

I'd go with a medium gray with that color brick Lil. Depends upon how much brick there is though.

It's brick top to bottom all sides. We don't have shutters. We have gables on each end that do not face the street, a door, a porch and a garage door to paint.

Mine is currently cream and dark brown with a good smattering of mildew. I wish I had more control, but alas I don't.
I tend to like lighter colors... a creamy caramel or buttery yellow with a bright red front door.

Just paint the bricks orange, trim with white and paint "O'Lilith" on the mail box.

When I painted last summer I painted the brick a greyish brown then trimed in dark grey the gables are a lighter grey. Lowe's carries a very good paint for brick it covered in one coat.
