San Francisco Bay Area - Issue with paint colors to accompany a pink/orange brick color

Issue with paint colors to accompany a pink/orange brick color

All of the masonite siding will likely be replaced with Hardie Board siding. The client would like a factory applied color if we do go with Hardie Board. Any thoughts on color would be appreciated, I am at a bit of a loss on how to tone down the overbearing brick color.

Keerthi Naidu How about painting the rest of the house all white? Something like this perhaps?

Robin W Solar panels are the way of the future. Should probably get used to them.

Josh Anderson I think White is a decent option, but I would like to go to the client with a few ideas. One thought was to use a complementary color scheme with a sage green similar to the attached photo. Thoughts on this option as well?

I would hate to have it know as the X-mas house ro I do not think that any additional red or orange colors would be used for the trim.
