Working with what stays
Keep the existing brick in view
On the mixed brick-and-siding example, the body and masonry already share some warm color. Compare the boundary carefully instead of assuming a burgundy siding color will match every red brick.
Use the garage to control the large light area
The two-story example has a pale garage and porch railings. Compare that light treatment with a body-related garage before adding a brighter painted door accent.
