Barn Contrast
What are some nice accent colors for a deep red brick house?

I am buying a modest split entry house and it requires alot of exterior cosmetics. Currently it has a deep dark red brick with the same color mortar (like a barn red) on the front exterior. The sides and back of the home are pale grey vinal siding and is a little worn and cracked. The shutters are black. The front door is white and the shingles are like a grey/taupe color. The tiny front step is grey. Talk about a mix match! I’m trying to think of some nice accent colors or how to fix this mess. I thought…..make the whole house brick barn red like the front – maybe give it some taupe contrast mortar. Give it an arched wooden door in some sort tan/brown color. Bring out a little arched canopy over the door and give it two pillar accents in a cream shade and accent the shutters in vintage style with cream shade as well…and the step in brown/cream? Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I’m not quite sure with such a dark and bland brick.

I agree with M S. You’ve made the best choice on your own.

Your ideas would make your house much more inviting and give visual order to its overall appearance.

Lorraine Hansberry’s play is given sensitive treatment by filmmaker Daniel Petrie (The Bay Boy). Sidney Poitier heads a fine cast in the story of an African American family in Chicago who are struggling with mixed aspirations, not enough money, conflicts over religion, and institutional racism. The film is pretty much set-bound (as plays adapted for the screen sometimes are), but the drama is inte…

Contrast in visual perception is the difference in appearance of two or more parts of a field seen simultaneously or successively (hence: brightness contrast, lightness contrast, color contrast, simultaneous contrast, successive contrast, etc.). Contrast in physics is a quantity intended to correlate with the perceived brightness contrast, usually defined by one of a number of formulae (see below) which involve e.g. the luminances of the stimuli considered, for example: near the luminance threshold (known as Weber contrast), or LH/LL for much higher luminances. A contrast can also be due to differences of chromaticity specified by colorimetric characteristics. Visual information is always contained in some kind of visual contrast, thus contrast is an essential performance feature of electronic visual displays. The contrast of electronic visual displays depends on the electrical driving (analog or digital input signal), on the ambient illumination and on the direction of observation (i.e. viewing direction).
