Color help for exterior paint on half brick house
Hi all -
When we flip homes we have been going with some really popular grays. This one is half red brick so I am not sure any type of grey would work. Any suggestions are appreciated - painting the brick possible but here in Cleveland market with the winters we have no maintenance brick is appealing.

@Adam Craig I sold Ben Moore for almost 10 years. I agree with the others who say neutrals or opposites. (Gray, beige, or green, specifically olive or sage on the green side. )
You want the brick to stand on it's own. It's BRICK, after all. It's a great classic brick, too. Not too homogeneous or orange.
Someone said do NOT paint the brick. I agree. I would add, do NOT try to match it either. You will fail.
Tudor brown MIGHT work too but that's a risk.
