Coloured masonary paint

we live on a terraced street with most of the houses painted. Ours is red at the moment but many of the neighbours have painted theirs over lockdown and the majority are now various shades of grey.
I find all these grey houses so depressing and want to paint ours a brighter colour. What colour would be best to complement the grey neighbours and inject a bit of colour without being gaudy? I'm thinking purple or yellow but can't decide. Painter is starting this week so need to decide quick Smile

Our painter charged us £350 for the window sills, wall, door and brick. The sills were in a bad state and he spent 2 days just prepping! He did it while we were away on holiday so it took about a week Smile
He knows one of our neighbours so had toilet and drink supply! The paint was valspar and about £65 for all of it.
I love it! Its is like a oasis in a sea of grey Wink

@giletrouge

It's BEAUTIFUL! I suggested teal - any negative shit, send 'em over to me, I'll sort 'em out... No, really, it looks fabulous. How did you get it done so FAST! I'm impressed...Smile It's like a summer sky - how could anyone not like it?
Your picture inspired the colour choice!

What's the name of the door colour?

@flirtygirl

What's the name of the door colour?
Patrician purple from velspar in B and Q. Glad you like it! I particularly like the purple door and we have so much of the paint left, my OH is having to hide it to stop me painting everything purple! Grin

I love it too. It stands proud and makes the house look beautiful. I expect some of your neighbours may follow suit and get bored of their grey!

Thank you.

Wow, lovely and bright!

I live in a Victorian terrace currently painted cream, and I’m very very tempted to spruce it up with a brighter colour!
