Exterior paint help! Opinions needed

11 years ago

I am in the process of building a house and exterior paint colors are needed ASAP. We are painting the brick

White... Too many shades! I need a grey undertone that is not blinding. Shutters will be BM Essex green and front porch be BM wickham grey. I am considering going with BM exterior brilliant white. Thoughts?

A picture of the house would help. I personally do not like painted bricks but I might have some suggestions anyway. ;)
