What colour to paint eaves/gutters for a red brick house? and what paint to use?
Hi @Jacdoitmyself,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
As it is more a style question than a technical one, I can only offer my opinion that black, or very dark blue gutters on red brick homes look excellent.
You might like to upload some images of the house so our members can make a better analysis and offer their advice. Let me know if you require assistance uploading images, I am more than happy to help.
The specific paint you'll use will likely come down to your colour selection, but a quality external paint such as Dulux Weathershield would be a good option.
Allow me to tag some of our helpful members for their opinions, @diy_hausdesigns, @prettyliving, @RenoRach @Noyade @Dave-1.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Will wait to see if you can post some pics.

Morning @Jacdoitmyself @JacobZ @Dave-1
I've given up with colours - my wife constantly tells me I have no colour sense.
But I definitely agree with Dulux Weathershield.
"very dark blue gutters on red brick homes look excellent"
I saw a blue brick house the other day. I love the colours, but my wife just rolled her eyes at me!

hahahhaha Oh man, my colour taste matches yours! HWne I was married I can remember "discussing" the colour to pain the bedroom, 3 hrs of it... And we finally got there... Next day went to Bunnings and proceded to discuss for another 2 hrs before I gavce up and went with what she wanted Kicked myself for wasting all that time as the coulours we both liked were incredibly similar
"Eyes rolled" oh yeah, know that one
