• Sage green + taupe: Because red and green are complementary colors, these exterior paint colors work well with red brick homes. In a muted shade like sage, the green brings out the color of the brick without overwhelming it. • Plum + cream or taupe: Neutral brick houses benefit from a dose of rich color, such as plum.

Black is a great contrasting color for brick homes. SW Keystone Gray is another amazing paint color that complements red brick. This mid-toned neutral works wonders when paired with brick. Keystone Gray is not really a gray, I’d consider it to be more of a warm greige. It’s also in the same color family as the ever so popular Agreeable Gray.
