I think black shutters on red brick looks too stuffy and old. Mine is a gray/blue/green and I think it looks nice. Also I don't have a fully traditional symmetrical colonial so not having black works.

Match your new shutters undertone to your roof (grayish or whatever).

Yes on new landscaping. I hate azalea salad especially this time of year when all the colors are in the yard and clashing with each other. You can add some hardscaping features like a trellis with flowers. [/quote]

Who in the world thinks black shutters are stuffy and old while thinking gray/blue/green aren't?  :roll:

There's a limited range of colors that work against a brick background. Black shutters have their historic and time-tested and approved place. But black trim do not, unless perhaps it's a metal trim in a Tudor style house but even then needs to be more steel/gray than black. [/quote]
