Is our house trying to be Tudor? Need paint color help.

I'm selecting paint for our exterior upper. The trim we had planned to stay white, because I can't see doing the porch columns some other color really.


I am not an architecture buff. I just realized I think they were going for a Tudor look on a much smaller house. The Tudor style was dominant in this area in the 20's when my house was built.


But, I don't see evidence of these half-timbers having ever been other than white (they're peeling so it's easy to tell).


Any thoughts what this house probably looked like when built? Also, any ideas on paint colors to try out - I'm already pretty certain I want a dark color. But I'm not 100%. I'm not too into beiges.


Note the two dark grays on posterboard at the roofline that I'm trying out.
