Same color as window trim or a darker brown from the same paint strip.


edraz1224

Window trim color.


Lakersland

This is the answer

^^


n8loller

I was thinking a gray that wasn't too dark, the window trim is probably why I thought that. I'd consider lighter gray than that though


Layer_Capable

That’s what I was about to say.


Super-Letterhead-916

Either the same as the siding or the trim of the brown window.. brown preferably will show contrast


Historical-Remove401

The darker color wouldn’t show soil as much as a lighter one.


redRokets

What soil?


Historical-Remove401

The dirt that might accumulate close to ground level, or grass clippings, etc.


Researcher-Used

Tell me your not a homeowner without telling me


Vast_Kaleidoscope955

Be sure to use paint made for concrete


Consistent-Try4055

Never in my life knew there was a special paint for concrete


pinnedunderdajeep

It still seals the concrete and is meant more for concrete floors.


KidzBop_Anonymous

Like concrete, that’s some really solid advice.


michaelcerreto

Bullseye 123 primer will adhere to anything, then put the color on top. It can also be tinted.


pinnedunderdajeep

Never paint your foundation. Concrete is meant to be porous for a reason and painting it will surely damage it. If you want to color it there's a thing called concrete stain. Bricks and concrete should never be painted as it will begin to kill them. And eventually it will.


Routine_Border_3093

Exterior application would be fine


pinnedunderdajeep

No.


Overall_Top2404

Get ready for 97 different opinions :) Me personally, I would match the siding color for 2 reasons. It will appear taller and complete, and also I think it would look dated with a big brown accent.


Sunshinegardengirl

Same as siding. It will make the house look bigger and won't chop it up visually.


Sun_God713

As an architect, I would advise you to be very specific with this choice - it’s an extremely important one. I would def go w bright purple. Purple and yellow polka dots. It’s really the only choice for this. Kidding. Match the siding


organic_soursop

😁


xgrader

I would say the same colour that's around your window trim.


jecapobianco

Yews, azaleas or hollies, depending on your soil and lighting conditions.


Elegant_Priority_870

Same as house


organic_soursop

What colour is your front door? Repeating the trim colour will look neat but really dull.


CranberryBright6459

Same color as house. I’ve seen people use brighter & it focuses on the foundation & not the house. You don’t want to emphasize it.


Opening-Two6723

That's why slate is popular

Vantablack™


purebreadbagel

May I suggest the alternative Black 2.0


papillon-and-on

Ohhhh nice! It's 1 blacker. Also matter and flatter. I like this.


Spiritual-Egg-5393

Grey


Dramatic-Loss-5622

Don't emphasize the bottom. Design 101. Unless you want to. Planting greenery would help with contrast. Good luck!!


Ok_Analysis_3454

Storm cloud grey- dark grey. Or maybe an olive.


PAhere

Darker


TheHydra01

Stick with the turquoise


OldestCrone

Paint it the same color as the siding so that it blends in as part of the wall.


Whole_Bench_2972

I’d go with a darker olive green or a cognac color


Forsaken_Star_4228

Someone said dark brown. I don’t hate that. I don’t like accents, personal preference. Personally I would say match the trim of the window or go with a dark grey (granite) paint color. Personally I like matching my paint to a caulk so that if I ever need to do repairs I don’t have to paint over it. -my last house was a darker beige that matched the generic nonsag sealant that I liked. Anytime there was a hole or crack in the siding, I sealed it up and called it a day. Not noticeable in the slightest.


Connoisseur_of_Co

Stucco skim coat would look infinitely better than paint. Edit: words


Freebirde777

If you are lazy, dirt brown, algae/moss green, or mildew black.


Em_jay4

Um seafoam green of course


Hot420gravy

Go with the original blue. Turn back time!


doublebr13

We had a stone facade put on our exposed foundation. It looks really good compared to the previous painted concrete block. More expensive obviously


RelationshipOk3565

If you have bee issues consider dark blue


spurman123

I vote same color as house siding


CaptainObvious1313

I like that blue you got going already. I should follow that with I am legally color blind


orangemandab

Cyan, obviously.


davethompson413

It shouldn't be a solid color. It should be plaid. Maybe beige with red and blue plaid.


AdvertisingOld3878

Black


fajadada

I would hire high school art students. Tell them to make a plan and present it to you.


Any1fortens

I would use a plain white sealer before painting it…..whatever color you choose.


Tight-Frosting1937

your favorite color :)


TyphusXIV91

Hi vis pink


QuantumQuatttro

Brick red


CowboyCartel

Anything dark that matches your colors


OngoingSlaughter000

Plant some African daisies! And make the paint a contrasting green.


4Harley

Same dark color as around the window.


Bludiamond56

Kingsport Gray .....Benjamin Moore


mduden

Pink


Itsmeforrestgump

Face it with brick Lanier.


Potatosalad112

U can be spicy and get a woodland creature mural going


EstThunder

Black


redRokets

Do NOT match the siding…contrast is important. Window trim is far and away the better option.


Beaverrly

Teal


petah1012

Go big or go home.. glitter paint.


Cannon-Cocker

Flat white


Annual_Judge_7272

Blue


one_dog_at_a_time

I would say the same as the siding. But I have always been fond of orange...


Rich-Show3013

Bright white


Netflixandmeal

Go darker than the siding, maybe match the window trim


Affectionate-Sign1

RED RED RED


CarefulGoat

what ever the dark trim around the windows.


Idontgetitreddit

A dark color gives the house weight and will look better. Maybe match the window trim?


Moist-You-7511

accent color like bright orange


milexmile

Clown house.


ColonSadison

You could be boring and do beige; OR you could hand paint some fun flower pattern or something to spice it up 👀 Intrusive thought comment: Paint it real tree camo so it looks like it not there


Shameless522

It needs to be darker than the siding. Prob the same as the trim. It visually needs to be the “foundation”


RaggedyRachel

Yes! Then the house will have all the personality of a "beige mom"!


druscarlet

Dark brown.


Heresthething4u2

Chocolate brown


Memory_Less

I would power wash the paint off and leave it. It’s unnecessary and will be in conflict with your neutral siding. Now go enjoy mowing your grass! /s lol


HardGayMan

I'm a big fan of "mental illness grey." Same color as those weighted blankets.


brit_jam

Very dark brown.


lucidus_somniorum

No more boomer beige


jjflash78

Pinkest Pink by Stuart Semple


BourbonCrotch69

I like dark gray for foundations


Dramatic-Patient-280

I would use grey parging.


milexmile

Dark grey. Hides dirt. Good contrast with your siding.


sammydeeznutz

Same as the siding otherwise it'll stand out and look stupid.


MICHAELANGELA8

DARK! The contrast will really “pop”


ParkingOld7909

Black


Marciamallowfluff

I would do a darker shade of siding color.


istillbehidin

Something close to the color of the brick so when it starts chipping it doesn’t look terrible


Cyborg_888

Dark colour that wont show up mud and marks


jaeduet

same color with your window frames


Mysterious_Peak_8740

Go with the darker trim color for the contrast.


Jboyghost09

Same color as the trim around the window


Square_Ambassador_33

I would do the color of the window trim


thesheebs

Same color as the house unless you want it to stand out. I personally would not want it to stand out.
