7. Looks contemporary yet classic. It has a good mix of contrast, dirt hiding ability and it looks very classy/upscale.

If 7 doesn't realy look like that, I'd choose 12. Is this really helping or confusing you even more, Spy? Soooooooo many cooks with so many diff. tastes.LOL If you are thinking white kitchen cabinets, there is one point you should consider - style. My mother has a smooth surface slightly off-white European kitchen and it looks like a laboratory (In her case appropriate). Easy to clean, but not open to the rest of the house, thank goodness.

D I like the contrast and it doesn't all blend together like oatmeal.

G I agree with Tess and Marm. That brick also gives you lots of options for trim colours as well.

I think G is the most neutral and leaves the most options open for siding/roof shingle choices.

Spy, Congrats on building a new home! My husband was a bricklayer when we first married, and still does small block jobs fairly often. Hint: Check out if the brick you chose is one that has a long history of production. Some time in the future you may want to add on, or add post in the landscaping ect. (Some brick colors and patterns come and go.) Also the mortor is easier to match if you don't go with a color mortor. Most important: You have to like it. hehehe

I really liked D but after reading these posts, I am now leaning towards G. (for all the good reason stated before)

I like D. It is bold without being brash.

G! I'm loving the dark spots that show up here and there. That will give your house character and make it stand out. And as stated above, it gives you a ton of options for roof and trim colors! Good luck!!!

6 or 12 I don't like the dark spotted bricks in the other one. And if you have to go light then 6 or 12. Plantings would go nice with that background. I actually don't like light brick and for me I would prefer red brick.

G, because of the choices you can make for trim, roofing, etc. Be sure to check if the color goes all the way thru, or if it is red brick painted another color.

G... It looks the most natural and the color will give you lots of flexibility for roof and paint colors.

I forgot to say I like G. They are what I have on my house, but they are in the red, black, and a tan color. People are still stopping to ask us what brick we used and we built in 77. We used white trim and black shutters.

I like G the best. The colors/shades are the most like natural stone and would go with any trim color.

G...for the reasons everyone stated above, it looks like any color roof or trim would go with it.

Spy, now that we know who won the popular vote, how did the electoral college vote? House will be done in August, you're going to New England in October...Misty/Mystic...I think we may have a sign here about your choice.

I've put off coming back here because honestly I haven't made a final decision on the brick yet. The construction launch has been delayed for a while, so I've had some time to breathe a bit and look at a ton of houses in the area. I have to say that I'm leaning heavily toward a gray colored brick and white painted exterior, a color scheme that was most definitely not a TVCH favorite. It was very interesting to see the preferences of everyone here, though. When I go to the brick company next week, I am going to look your choice. I like it a lot, I'm just not in love with it. Who knows, though, I may see it in person and love it! More updates soon
