Thanks for all the suggestions. Off-white with a bright colored, mid century door was the direction I was leaning, so it sounds like I’m on the right track, @emmarene9, I think the small plants are boxwoods, but I am going to pull those out along with the stones and redo that bed with some more mid-century appropriate, Texas native landscaping - maybe grasses or succulents. And here’s a close up of the iron scrolling that you asked for (dirty and coated in that ugly green paint, but in good shape otherwise).

Regarding the rug, the color is great but a touch too traditional in design. No matter what you choose, you‘ll be tied to It. If it has more colors, you can go bold or use more subdued shades when you tire of a look.

Browns and beiges are devlishly difficult to do well. And even harder for us who are interpreting these colours on our screens. On my screen your roof is not at all orange-brown. I took a shot of it your roof, enlarged it and this is what I see. A pinkish brown that is pretty close to the rosy brown shown below it. The darker colours are a burgundy brown or wine brown. The blue beside it is the complementary colour to pinkish brown - opposite on the colour wheel. On my screen and to my eye, this looks better than an orange door. Even the bit of orange on the pavement at the bottom of your picture seems to clash with the roof. The blue could be lighter or darker or less saturated, but stay in the same general level of blueness vs going more green-blue or more purple-blue. https://www.color-name.com/rosy-brown.color https://www.farrow-ball.com/en-us/colour-by-nature/deep-reddish-brown You could do worse than get a professional colour consultant on this. Whatever you choose, I'd paint some big sample boards and look at it in different lights before you pick up the paint brush.

I’ll start, I guess. Have you explored the use of Romabio, a paint specially made for brick? You could lighten your overall color that way. I wouldn’t do anything specific to grout lines - what a PITA that would be. Your brick looks like it is in great shape. A popular choice on these boards is a dull green with brick. Here’s a picture I saved. Those shutters look like cheapy vinyl things. Take them down and toss. I agree that the porch posts need attention. Your sample of them painted a light color calls attention to the fact that they are too skinny by far. A substantial brick home like yours needs beefy posts. And lastly, new landscaping would help a lot. Those small trees on the left side were a good idea, but they should be pulled away from the house by 8’ or so. Actually, I think the one by the steps is completely misplaced while the one on the far left is critically important to balance your house. I know they’re expensive, but a fat tall blue spruce off the left corner, pulled toward the street about 10’ or so, would look awesome. I see evergreens around your house already and a spruce would fit in just fine.
