After all the help I received here, I wanted to update you on my exterior garage door/shutter color. We selected what appeared to be a medium-shade brown and it ended up looking alot darker, bolder, and redder than we wanted. But since the house faces south and I live in the midwest, I think it will fade a little. And if not, DH and I can always try to adjust the color in the future. Not what I hoped for, but we'll live with it for a while and see what happens. Again, thank you for all the advice and a big thank you to Squirrelheaven for the photoshop magic! try_hard

Oly - Don't mind sharing at all... Its 3100 sq/ft, 4 br and 3.5 baths. The balcony area is off the bonus room and not the master. Here are some pictures from soon after we moved in so it looks a little bare but truth be told we are still trying to get the place properly decorated! Maggie - thank you very much... I was just trying to find out what company did the shutters so I could find the exact color but wasn't able to get that info. It was one of the color options from the shutter manufacturer so we didn't pick out the paint at home depot or whatever. I'll dig around some more and hopefully get the color name to you. We were looking for that french blue look and think we found just that so we were very pleased.

I agree with Judy regarding the shutters. If you keep them for now, keep the color as is...not light blue. Since it's right up front, the garage door should be the same color as the siding. That will help it from pulling so much focus. At some point you might consider a garage door with windows across the top.

Be aware that most folks here despise decorative shutters that are too skinny for the Windows and refer to them as "shudders". It doesn't matter if your home was built with them. Consider adding wider trim to all of the windows. If budget allows, consider a portico for the entryway.
