It's an attractive home. Congrats. If you insist on painting the brick, I do believe you'd be best, as another poster has noted, to go to a putty/beige instead of a white or off white. It will compliment the stone better. Shutters? Those decorative ones or wrought iron? If it's those plastic louvered jobbers, oh please don't. It would look all wrong with those windows and that style of house. That being said, I live in a triple course brick home somebody stuccoed down the line and then painted. When we had to re-stucco, it involved covering the whole house in a mesh to hold the new work. Sort of expanded the expense a lot. Had it not been painted, this would not have been necessary. I think I see where you are coming from in painting the brick, inasmuch as it since it's basically the same shade as the stone it makes the two mediums look 'busier'. I'm not a fan of painting brick. I've seen it wick into surrounding stone and to me it's like finding a home with natural woodwork and then painting it white. It's your call, however, and it could look nice. Be aware that many people buy stone or brick homes so that they can get out of the expense of up-keeping the painting and if/when you sell this having painted brick could really influence a buyer.

I love olive, it looks good year round, whether trees are in bloom, autumn color, or against snow. That said, my only concern would be that you don't go too dark. . Tribbix' Mountain Moss does seem nice. I have used Bennington Gray, which is sometimes cream and sometimes slightly olive greenish, depending on the light. You might want to look at Providence Olive, too. My two picks look far less green, in isolation, than does the Moss, but I think that when you put them next to the brick the green comes forward. Both of them change a lot throughout the day. We used SW fireweed for the clapboards, SW ripe olive for door and shutters, and BM compatible cream for the windows and other trim. So you know I love your color scheme.

I think it will look beautiful in a creamy white. I’d do charcoal (BM Charcoal Slate or FB Downpipe) garage doors u less you can replace and then 100% they should be a warm medium wood. I’d replace that section of diff materials in The garage gable with natural shakes and replace All the ornamental stuff with beams. Then do your landscaping like an English garden. It will be so gorgeous.

I learned this on a quilting Forum LOL: Color is secondary to value, which is the lightness or darkness of color. Easiest way I have found to check value is to look at the house through your camera viewfinder, on the black and white setting. Colors of the same value will look the same color! Colors that look very light and very dark give the most contrast. Your trim today is the same value as your brick, so neither color shows off the other one. You could go dark or very light. Since the brick is a cool tone, I think your idea of taupe and creamy or cool Browns is good, but if you wanted to paint everything on that house, except brick, a nice chalk white, it would be equally beautiful. Have fun!
