I don't think the black/navy will look great with your cottage style desires. Too much contrast. How about a blue gray paint color for the stucco and garage doors? Then, the dark navy for the front door and white for window trim and garage trim. Oh...get some larger coach lights for the garage doors and a matching one for the front door area.

Hello from a fellow Kentuckian. I can't tell for sure but there doesn't seem to be a lot of gray in the brick. I do think you need to go away from the orangey shingle color as that enhances those tones in the brick. There are shingle colors that have gray and tan in them and I would take a look at those. Something like this: Owens Corning Driftwood or this Owens Corning Aged Cedar I'm not sure that a straight charcoal shingle would work. Also I would look at pulling a tone from the brick for the siding. The yellow tone now enhances the orange in the brick. I could see the Aged Cedar shingle, a medium light taupe on the siding and trim, charcoal on the shutters and maybe a deep teal on the front door. All of these would "tone down" the brick and make the entire house look more cohesive. If you're interested in seeing some virtual makeovers check out my web site, Creative Visual Concepts.

I like the colour scheme you have. Perhaps the grey siding could be a tad darker. I would look into cleaning the white spalling on the brick, redoing the landscaping, and add a roof or shelter over your front door. It's a pretty house that just needs a bit of tweaking. Also, when the time comes to replace the shingles, go for black or very dark charcoal.

Iron ore or even the urbane bronze will both look fine w/a brown roof because these are brown based colors wait and decide on a door color after everything is done. The hale navy would also be a great choice. if you do that, I'd pick a brighter green. that last green door color is as dull as dishwater! with the Romabio, you don't have to use the Classico. They have the Masonry 'paint' that you can have tinted to any color. it will give you a slightly heavier coverage than the lime wash so grab a sample of the classico, and and the masonry (have it tinted to whatever color you want or use the romabio standard colors,,,see chart below) and try them out to see what looks best. The masonry paint is permanent, but the classico can be hosed off within 72 hours. https://romabio.com/masonryflat/ I think they do have some of their stock colors though. This one is masonry Flat, and it's the Richmond White color This is the Beige on the Classico. I wouldn't use this color. it's too beige!
