Question one: I would not paint the garage door the siding color. It would keep it the same color. Question two: IDK. Color needs to complement and also must be done in the right percentages. I have seen homes like yours in Aberdeen, NJ with the same brick color and used white as the window trim and it worked Question three: What ever color you use on the sidelites should also be the posts. Question Four: A retractable screen will look fine as long as it is installed cleanly. Question five storm door trim should match the sidelites. THere are internet websites you can use to choose colors. You choose the style of home and add colors to the trim, garage and siding to see if the colors work. The issue is what looks good on the computer is not the same on the home. Every single paint color is made with different percentages of color thus when you paint different colors emerge depending on what color is nearby. Hawthorne yellow is a green yellow on my exterior home whereas in an interior room it has a butter yellow. I painted a home recently a cream wheat color but it is a light yellow on the clapboards. FInd an artist. Find an art student and ask them their opinion. They tend to understand color and percentage of color on any project.

Resurrecting an old thread - I have been considering painting the door trim the same color as the door. I was happy to see this post that said it was stunning - but I can't find any pictures of this at all (other than some wood doors that have wood trim). Does any one have any pictures of door and trim painted the same color, or is there some design reason why this is rarely done?

I think stick with the charcoal colour for most. I would do the cedar soffit colour on the stairs etc. Where are you located? This looks like Vancouver!

Is the paint color an off white (cream)? If so, you color options are basically endless, depending what color your roof is or if you have any brick or stone on the house. When choosing paint colors for my house a couple of years ago, I kept in mind the color of stone on the front of my house, the brick on my chimney color, and my green roof. I then went to Behr's website and played with color combinations and found something that both my husband and I agreed on. With the color of your house in mind and what looks like a dark roof, maybe black, there are so many color combinations you could go with. Here are some photos for inspiration: I absolutely love the colors on this house. More importantly--What colors do you and your family love? Next is a photo of my house since I could not find any other photos that would suit your house on Houzz. I chose paints from Behr Marquee and the house color is Taupe Tease, trim is Superior Blue (my husband's favorite color), and the doors are Fire Cracker Red (my favorite color): All 3 colors work well together and work with the roof, brick, and stone colors as well. I also chose colors that no one else had in our neighborhood.
