I like the contrast of the brick and the mortor as well. I like the colors of everything. It looks 'sharp"--kind of clean cut and crisp.

G I like this one because even in a picture it looks like it has nice texture to it. It has character or something, sort of an older appearance or something. Make sense? :-)

(I have been checking out the others, didn't vote, because I felt overwhelmed. Can't imagine how you feel!) But this is great, and I'm really happy for you!

12 - It looks upscale, looks like it will hide the dirt well, looks like you can have yellow or pink roses next to it, and I like the offset colored bricks for styling interest. It looks to me like something you would like.

8 looks like cement!

I like 1. I like the lighter color much better than the darker ones.

#1 looks like my brick - yuck! shows the dirt real easily
#6 is my second choice
#7 doesn't look like that in real life
D looks like my brick when it's dirty
E looks like it would cost more
G looks polka dotted with those dark spots

I'm going to go with #6 this time around. I think it looks good and like it would hide dirt pretty good.

G... I like the contrast of the different shades, the darker bricks here and there make it stand out, and make the design look a little less planned or matchy-matchy, even if it's not, and I like that.

You know I never realized there was such a problem with dirt showing on brick. I can't remember the last time I looked at a brick house and thought, 'Ewww, there is dirt showing on that brick'

I don't think I'd ever let 'it won't hide dirt well' change my mind about what color I'd brick my house.

i still don't understand the first two pics being called 'glacier white' unless some polar bears made yellow snow. i have never seen a yellow glacier.
Azriel, when you water and mud splashes up, or it rains or gets muddy, you do see it on one-color or light color brick. you don't have to let 'it won't hide dirt well' change YOUR mind, but it's something i'd think about. i have a friend who is continually cleaning her light single-colored brick and it's not an easy or fun job. JMO, of course. some places have very red ('clay') soil and it can make a mess.

I like G. It's the most interesting, has good contrasts of texture and color. If I could tear out the brick on our house and put that up, I would.

D
I like the color variation and I think the darker tone looks rich and will weather well. It also won't show dirt.
E would be second choice

Tabby, I guess I'm just pretty laid back about dirt on the outside of the house. I only clean my outside windows about twice a year when I can't see outside anymore. That's usually when I spray the house with the garden hose and get off any offending dirt on the brick/siding.

Now if somebody has a mudfight and slings big globs of dirt all over the house I might worry about it, but I'm not gonna get all worked up over a few streaks of dirt here and there. It just adds character to the brick.

6 & 8 are appealing to me if you are still going with the grey/white theme.
