If you want an contrasting color, do the lightest color of your bricks, if you want an analogous color, then a brick red to rose pink, to match the brick, if you want a complementary color, green would be it. Wood colors and stains are pretty vast these days, so a lot to choose from. Hope this helps and you find what you are looking for. *Good luck
