We too are considering painting our (white) rollup garage doors. They are an insulated metal/ vinyl construstion. Our house trim is a medium grey, so we are thinking about a lighter shade of grey for the doors. We have seen this treatment applied to other homes in our area (California high desert- SS zone 11) and it can look quite attractive when the colors are chosen tastefully. We have not done it yet because of concerns with longer-term appearance of the paint. Our doors get hot to the touch in the summer and judging by the house paint durability, we expect that the usual latex outdoor paint will not be up to the task. Small patches of peeling trim on the house are not usually noticeable; on a garage door with white undercoat those peeling/chipped areas will stand out sharply. I still need to paint the trim every three years- regardless of the paint manufacturer's stated warranty. I don't relish doing the garage doors too. I have not found a paint (in the shade we are looking for) that is specifically designed for this application. If we lived in a milder climate, I would have already done it. Just my $.02 worth. - Paul Paul

If this were my place I'd paint it the same color as the house. Another option is you could paint it the same color as the house door and it would look like a barn. Depends on what look you are after.

lol. I can barely see the house! can't see the driveway, the brick, and barely half the garage or front door. I'd say start w/some landscaping first. doesn't do any good to painti the house if no one can see it. The two large hedges would have to go for me. And you have them all off to the left foreground too. The large pine tree near the front door, needs a good pruning too. what you need to do, if you want some help, is stand further back so we can see the entire front yard w/the house. you can have shrubbery, but it should accent the home, not overtake it. then try to stand on a ladder or something to get a shot of the house w/o the hedge blocking the view. (stand in the middle of the grass to get this) then get a shot of the entire driveway and garage area. get one showing the front walkway w/the door and front windows finally, get a shot that shows what color the roof is because I have absolutely no idea I'm also in SoCal. what city is this? you can do dark. something like a charcoal or stormy blue stucco w/light trim will be fine I like the white and charcoal or black w/wood accents

I'm going with no shutters, The house has a dark roof and black shutters (which don't fit appropriately, are vinyl and attached to the brick, not the window frame) and it is all too much dark. You house is lovely and deserves better. With the shutters off and your black front door, do black on the garage door. Do the muntins in the windows pop out? You could paint them black.
