What color to paint the walls? And about the pence?
Maybe, the bricks limit the color options of the wall... What do you think? Thanks!

Dytecture It depends on what style you like. For a more conservative route choose a brown that is darker than the brick color.

lefty47 HI -- Great house -- For painting the white areas and if you want some drama have a look at " Metropolis CC 546 " or " Kendall Charcoal HC 166 " or "Jute AF 80 " Benjamin Moore Paints and also for the fence .

The Color People Soften the white by painting it a lighter tan than the brick ( if that is what it is ) because you want the house to make a whole statement. Chopping it up with color is not going to help it. I would then paint the front fascia on the roof and whole fence a black green like Ben Moore's Black Forest free and let those elements create the interest. Using the color on the top and bottom balances the house and with the new stucco color will create a real wholeness.

lefty47 HI ---Color People -- I somewhat agree and understand with your thinking but mostly do not agree ,for this house --- don't you think a darker color will accent the architectural features of this house . The brick would show more and also the shape and style of the house . I have seen modern houses similar to this modern style that look great after the darker color was added . It won't looked chopped up for the wrong reason or at all , I think it would make this house stand out instead of it being all one big blended single color. When you look up Modern house exteriors , a lot have contrasting colors ,even several , and they look great. I think this is what this house needs !

Interiors International, Inc. I agree that a darker color will accent the cool contemporary lines of the house. This home was designed to stand out and make a statement.
