Trim and Window color for brick house exterior

10 years ago

Hi All!

We'll be replacing our old windows with vinyl as well as repainting the trim. I'm leaning towards bronze vinyl on the exterior (but white on interior to match trim), similar in color to existing metal windows. I am open to other colors but probably not white on the exterior. Maybe a taupe? We have a bright periwinkle door, which is a little crazy but I like it. However, the trim is a little yellow despite how it looks in the picture. I was thinking something taupier/grayer. Thoughts? Thanks!

I think it could go either way, just depends on what you choose first, windows or trim color. I like it now, but a warm taupe trim color would look good too. Maybe try changing the wondows first and then re-evaluating.
