Charcoal + Stone

Brepurposed

Don’t be afraid to go bold with a dark color palette like Brepurposed does here. If your house has stone features, or you’d like to incorporate them, complement them with a matching shade that highlights the architecture so it stands out rather than blends in.

The coral blue door gives this home a bright, friendly demeanor.
