How to pick colors that go with your stone

Peak Pro Painting • June 11, 2018

One challenge we’ve come across is picking colors when there is stone or brick in the picture. Here are a few tips to help pick the right color around stone or brick.

  • If the brick/stone has red (or warm colors) always try to stick with warm colors.
  • If the stone has blue, gray or other cool colors, try to stick with cool colors.
  • Don’t try to match the color of your stone, chances are the paint store wont be able to match it perfectly and if they did, you wouldn’t want it all to blend anyway, you want the stone to stand out.
  • One option is to white wash or even stain the brick if you absolutely hate the color of it.
  • Last but not least, we do offer an in house color consultant you can always ask for advice.

If you’re looking to get the most out of your exterior stain, try using a solid stain instead of semi-transparent. It looks similar to a paint but it doesn’t go on as thick. Solid stains still show a little of the wood grain but do cover mostly like a paint. You’ll get more life out of solid stain. It also saves you money!
