A few ideas:

Sunny daze, the color Patricia suggested, subdued mossy green gray, is one of my favorites with the reddish tones on the brick. You could go a little darker but that tone really works with the brick. The driftwood color is a good neutral color. It's probably what I have, or maybe slightly lighter on my home. It goes with most everything and has enough variation in color.

My dad was red/green color blind so I understand. We had to help him pick out clothes every once in a while. Bring someone with you to pick out paint or new siding color is my best suggestion, hopefully someone good with color. If you go with a tan color of siding be sure to pick out a darker tan. I've seen some end up with a pink hue to it that you don't notice until it's all up. Also, you shouldn't pick out green, you may end up with a mint jewel tone that would not be good.

If you’re up for changing the entire color scheme you could do a black or charcoal gray roof with the body (siding and brick) a light gray, and the trim in white.

It's "USELESS"?!!! P.C? How so?

That is THE most ridiculous statement . I agree it deserves only paint vs. a more intensive refinish.......BUT

It's got four nice sized drawers, undie, bra, and sock drawers.....jewelry......rolled up tees or leggings and room for lord knows what she has at 16 yrs!

That was a bratty / arrogant/rude statement and wrong to boot.

Were I sixteen, and my mom was willing to paint it and let me pick hardware and a color?

I'd be darn happy, especially if I had NO dresser at all.
