Is this the look you want? Lots of pictures with the color combo you are looking at on colonials. https://www.google.com/search?q=white+colonial+black+shutters+red+door&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj6hPzY9_bbAhVMS60KHYbtBuIQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1536&bih=729 As for the white color to pick - I think you'll find a bright white is too white when outside. Otherwise most paint manufactures have one called Bright White or something very close to it. Realize that where you live, the surroundings, the light etc. will be influencing how the color looks too.

I don’t think so, it cuts it off too much from the kitchen. I would do all same color and add artwork and decor to your fireplace.

moving to a new home, pictures are from listing so all furniture and decor will be removed. Im currenty feeling like I want one color throughout all these living spaces that open up to each other... leaning toward warm white, greige or any other suggestions... Trim: looking for opinions on whether to leave medium brown trim throughout the house, windows and dining built in as is or should I paint to white? darken it? house is an 1890s built farmhouse, love the Pinterest boards of white trim and brighter farmhouse looks, shiplap etc but not sure if I should take on changing all the trim or trying to make it work... if it was just a little darker I think I wouldn’t mind it as much but its kind of a blah medium brown....

I don’t think it’s a rule that the pergola must be same color as house trim..just saying… It looks like a pretty interesting house but it’s difficult to imagine your home’s actual layout with the pieces you’re showing us. A bit of mystery 😁. It appears you have workers vehicles parked around your house but can you please post a picture of the whole house without any obstuctions? Maybe from middle of street so we can grasp the scope etc? Back to white trim - pergola looks great with that color & I agree wouldn’t change that- but the house & garage will look great with a different color trim - an accent to make your stone addition really stand out. ETA - I like the shakes on the house & I think style wise they’re good with stone so I disagree with Patricia Colwell . Where are you located? Your hpuse has a NW flair to the style - I'm in PNW so am accustomed to seeing lots of shake siding & stone. A regional style.
