If it is any door other than the front door, paint it to blend with the siding. What color are you painting the garage doors...to blend or to stand out? Normally you want the front door to stand out and all other doors to blend.

A dark gray. The same color the siding will be painted.

What about French doors to the deck/ patio area? Should they blend with exterior siding too?

Normally all the exterior doors are painted the same color - except the front door. I would still just emphasize the front door and blend the other doors.

I remember your home because my monitor shows your colors in the brown and tan family and yet when you did the close up of your roof it was closer to gray. You are right there so you see what works with your brick and lighting.

Should I paint the trim around the doors the same color as the trim around the windows??

What color is the trim around your windows?

Try it with the same trim color, but if it pops out too much, go back and do the gray that's on the doors. I'm thinking the trim color will defeat the purpose of blending in the garage doors and side doors. You don't want to call attention to the garage doors, right? Even having gray or black french doors with white trim would have the effect of outlining the doors and making them stand out rather than recede. JMO

Thanks Denita! You've helped me out a lot!
