What color would you paint my house?

Here's the exterior of our house. Please pardon the landscaping, as it's a work-in-progress.

Here is a closeup of the brick colors:

The trim (all of it) needs to be painted. The current color is a beige, and while it's not horrible, we think we can do better. We're wanting more color, but still something fairly traditional and that suits the house and setting. We live in the country, and most of the surrounding houses are painted with a very low-contrast color scheme.

The window frames are metal, and I'm not sure if they can be painted.

I've been thinking of a green with a red front door. DH would go for green, but he wants something bright, like a grass or shamrock. I want something more olive/muddy/gray.

Here are some paint chips that I'm considering:

What you think? What other color schemes do you think would work? I had also considred a shade of white, but DH thinks it would look bad.

Whatever color we choose for the trim, would you paint the secondary exterior doors the same color, or a coordinating/contrasting color?
