What gray color should I paint my house?

This is the house. It is a cream color. My wife and I are pretty set on a gray combo, maybe a little bit of blue. My wife also requested a teal door. We consider our house a contemporary house. I’ve seen a lot of dark gray/light gray combos that I think would look great. Would like some advice.

Comments (2)I like the idea on your garage door being dark oak -- maybe consider a creamy beige or gray for your trim. Some unique shutters on those two front windows may add some "pop" too....See MoreAll my house is white and grey... What color should I used?
Comments (7)Photos would help us help you. However, in general, if you tend to like neutral rooms but feel a need for a bit of color without going too bright, you can always use a toned down color in your accessories (pillows, table/wall decor, rugs, etc.). That way, you still get the soothing simplicity of the neutral colors you enjoy with a little interesting touch. Another safe and effective way of adding color is by simply adding greenery to a neutral room. In my experience, a few green plants are exactly what a neutral room needs to liven it up a bit....See MoreWhat Color Should I Paint My House?
Comments (31)Very much like the medium blue and the darker blue and the dark reddish brown and either of the last two suggestion of cawaps as long as any of them have the matching wood for the door and garage doors. IF, however, you paint the garage doors, then paint the garage doors the same color as the house exterior walls. The darker colors look better. What is your favorite color? Take a look in your closets. What colors do y'all buy most often for your clothes?...See Morewhat color(s) should I paint my house?
Comments (15)Thanks again for the input. I tried a color visualizer, but it turns out that I have the artistic ability of a 4 year old on acid. Id love to be able to see some greys or even dark blues and how that would look....(if any of you more creative people have extra time). Thanks again, this community rocks!...See MoreKuyaariel
