#1 but with a bright yellow door. Resale appeal!

Numero uno! I’m trying to convince my husband that we need to paint our 1962 ranch. I’m thinking medium/dark gray with a mustard yellow or green door. He’s not into painting the brick at all though. I think he’s worried mostly about maintenance of the painted brick. Just curious – when y’all painted your house, did you do it yourselves or hire someone? It seems like a daunting task!

2 or 3 (but maybe 3 isn’t so good in real life based on the other comment). I also feel drawn to 4, but would be hesitant to use it myself. Maybe I just am not brave enough to be this bold. Some yellow shrubbery with that yellow door would really make a splash!

#6 is cool too. Reminds me of you guys old places color! If it looked even half as good as yours did it would be awesome!

I’d say 2 or 4 is mine but I have to say something about square brick homes painted beige like #3.
I was about to make an offer on a cool red-brick 60′s ranch that desperately needed paint here in the Boro just south of you guys. It was bought before I could and they painted it that light/med beige.
It’s such a block shape that it looks horrible! Not even interested in it anymore even though it’s up for re-sale after the reno and really,it’s just paint and a deep grey would fix it… The color has totally turned me off. Looks super cheap. I’d worry because this one is a similar shape to that one that if a light color is used,it will too in real life. Good luck to them on choosing a color!

#4 was actually my favorite, but for resale I would say 3
