    Hi everyone,

    Would appreciate any suggestions for the following. I'm painting the exterior of my house - it's a 1950's red brick - about half the house is rendered wall which I want to paint. So - neutrals and greens/grays (but not blue grays).

    Any ideas?

    Our house has red brick on the bottom and we painted the top Cobblelock by Dulux, which is a brownish grey. We constantly get compliments about it!

    Haha - brilliant. That's the one that I have already picked out. I really like it and think it brings out the best in the red brick. What other complementary colour do you have. I was thinking pigeon by farrow and ball.

    Great minds think alike! We just painted the pebbledash with the cobblelock and did the sills and reveals white for contrast. We chose a matt mid-blue shade for the front door and did the garage door in cobblelock too, partly because our garage door is decrepid and i didn't want to attract attention to it!
