Read your brick
Is it warm red, orange, brown, tan or gray? Look at the mortar too. The undertone matters more than the exact shade.
Red brick
Warm gray and charcoal blends sit beautifully beside red brick. Tan can work but can look orange-heavy; test samples.
Tan and cream brick
Buff, sand and warm brown are natural partners.
Gray and modern brick
Cool gray, slate and charcoal keep a modern look.
Add depth
A darker release in the joints makes any palette look richer.
