Brick Siding Colors

Siding is lightweight protective cladding installed on the sides of homes. Common siding materials are wood, vinyl and metal. Manufacturers also produce siding with veneers of stone or brick that resemble the solid stone but at a fraction of the cost. Brick siding comes in a variety of colors, so you can select one best suited to your preference, your home's architecture or the landscaping around your house.
  1. Traditional Red Brick

    • Traditional red brick is perhaps the most common color for building bricks and therefore is a common option for siding. Red brick includes color variations such as mauve, maroon and rose. Choose a shade of red brick siding that complements the color of your doors, window frames and roof.

    Earth-tone Brick

    • Earth tones, such as tan, gray and dark green, are a less traditional color choice for brick veneer siding. Earth tones may blend better with the landscaping, and they offer an alternative to ubiquitous red brick. Earth-tone brick siding fits a modern design aesthetic that shies away from decorative and traditional styles in favor of pristine lines and neutral tones.

    White Brick

    • Whitewashed brick is another traditional style of brick that you'll find duplicated in siding. The white bricks in this siding match the color of the mortar. Some siding styles mimic the worn areas typically found on whitewashed brick to make the veneer appear more natural. Though this is a traditional type of siding, it may also be suitable for modern-style homes.

    Multicolored Brick

    • Multicolored brick siding uses several different brick colors to create a balanced but varied veneer. This style adds interest to the brick veneer. It also makes the siding look more authentic because whole bricks naturally have slight variations in color. Some multicolored brick siding uses vastly different colors to resemble old schoolhouses or industrial buildings.
