Common Brick Stain Colors

Classic Brick Red

For a classic look that never goes out of style, brick red is your go-to. If your brick is already a natural color, staining it red will deepen it and bring out the variations on the different bricks.

This color is well-suited to Colonial-style homes. It’s also likely a safe bet if you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association (HOA). If your brick is a lighter shade, red stain will cover it well. Just be sure to try a test patch somewhere out of sight, so you can make sure you like the new color before you commit.
