Colour is the decision people agonise over and then choose from a two-inch sample in a showroom.
Match the house, not the trend
Roof and brick tones are fixed and expensive to change. The paving takes its cue from them, not from a catalogue photo of a different house.
Blends age better than flat tones
A blended colour hides efflorescence, wear and the occasional replacement unit. A single flat tone shows every variation.
Borders do the work
A contrasting soldier course frames the field and lets you use a calmer colour across the main area.
The two-sample rule
Get full-size samples, lay them on the actual site, look at them wet and dry, in morning and evening light, next to the brick. Decisions made this way do not get regretted.
