Your house is very pretty. I think a brighter/lighter color for the front door would stand out better in your entryway. You can absolutely use two different colors for the door and shutters. What look are you going for?

I think an aqua (even lighter than this teal) would look great with your red brick.

For the shutters, I feel that darker gray might fade into the brick but if you go with a lighter gray it will fade into the siding in the back... I think the black is a good recommendation, but how about a bit brighter red than you have currently? Maybe a brighter cranberry... https://www.houzz.com/photos/garden-path-traditional-landscape-richmond-phvw-vp~5915847

If it were me, I'd paint the door first and make sure it's what I love because I think it will have the greatest impact. The nice thing about the door is it's pretty easy to paint and is less than a quart of paint. If you don't love it you can try again. Shutters, not so easy!

I hope these ideas are helpful!

I like the cranberry color also. Is there a bit of green color in your brick? Online, I saw green shutters and door on a house similar to yours and it looked very nice.

Hi. Now that vintagestuf has mentioned green, I thought I'd add this photo. I love this color combination... one of my favorites ever. But so many people don't like green so I hesitated to include it :) Plus I try not to be too biased towards my own personal likes ;)

You are welcome. I, also, have a hard time with color. Actually, I bought small cans of paint from an independent paint store, and painted my own samples on cardboard and then held up the cardboard. I took a photo of my house and close up of brick and asked paint store owner for suggestions which gave me a good starting point. I had a plain taupe door before and then painted it cranberry/burgandy red. It may be hard to tell with the storm door reflection. Good luck!

Glad you like it! I had a similar red dish cupboard in my old kitchen and "Olive Marinade" walls. It was delicious :)

I have a little house I need to renovate and I am not sure how, but I'm going to use that red/green combo on the exterior. I have clapboard siding though, so my current dilemma is what color to paint the siding to go with that door and trim color!! And I love how he used the green as the window trim but had red shutters. Just smashing, fun, and classic, all rolled into one :)

Sorry, I realize this is tangential to your own dilemma, hope you don't mind!
