Exterior House color - Blue gray?

We bought this house last fall and purchased it as a fixer upper. After a house fire caused by an improper repair done by a chimney company, our fixer upper timeline has hit lightning speed because of insurance requirements and deadlines. We have to paint the house this summer (besides the fact that it really needs it!) and I am struggling with choosing a color.


I light the idea of a darker blue color and white trim/windows. It's a classic look and with the brick on the house and the reddish roof, I think it will look nice. But choosing the right blue that doesn't make the place look like a giant blueberry AND or a dark and spooky house is driving me bananas.


We live in the country on a farm road. We're one of 6 houses around so I don't want to stick out too much (no blueberries) and we're in the Midwest if that gives anyone an idea of location and style. Garage door and front door will also be painted something different, so no need to match. Not a fan of powdery blues like that.


Here is the house as it is now, front and back.







Any feedback is much appreciated!
