Maybe you already have the perfect color on the siding and only need to change the colors of the trim. Sage green shutters and a red front door, with the red tilting towards orange, not blue so that it blends with the yellow-brown of the bricks. OR, Maybe a shade of gray for the siding that tilts toward brown, which I guess would be a taupe color.

Deb, the far right color on the new garage or wing in the foreground is also my favorite, but it looks very much like the color on the neighbor's house to the right. Kitten, even though you have good-sized samples of color on your house, remember that when the entire house is painted it will have much more of the hue color than it does when looking at snippets of several colors at once. Some of those colors will look much bluer in isolation from the others. I've also noticed that some people see purple where others simply do not....I am one of those. I see purple undertones where others --- who have good color sense--- say don't exist. I can only conclude that some of us really do "see" things differently and if it looks purple to YOU, then for you--- it really IS purple. Iykwim. Good luck-- you have a beautiful house in a lovely setting!

I have Oakridge shingles in Driftwood. They are newer, and actually have blue in them, so we are leaving that $10,000 re-roofing project behind us and working with it. :) I tried to pick whites that were off-white but not cream. Cream looks yellow against the blue. Also, I'm doing deck rail in man-made hopefully and I want things to blend with those materials. Painting where I'm located and my lot steepness, veeeery pricey. I need low maintenence. I'll try to post a pic. This will just be lap siding and no band board, this was playing around. Sable in gables, which are very hidden.

I'd go with a warm gray, possibly drawing a shade from the mortar between the bricks. Siding and garage door the same color, so garage doesn't become more prominent. (hit the downspout too -- siding color above and brown below the brick line.) I'd also paint whichever entry door will be the "front door" for guests a bright color to draw the eye and make a clear distinction.
