On my monitor it looks like the house is peach with kelly green trim. Is this right?

Yes. It’s closer to tan than peach. Green trim. Green roof.

Thank you all so much for your ideas. Here is the architect's rendering. I am not sure what the style of the house really is. It started as "urban farmhouse," but I am not sure that's where it has ended up. :) Unlike the rendering, the windows are white, not black, and the house will be Rockport, not white. I will try to take an actual photo tomorrow. As for door colors, I definitely want something contrasty. I prefer blues and greens--even black--to red or orange. Could I do more of a peacock shade if navy doesn't work? Thanks, everyone!

We are repainting with Sherwin Williams....going with a light gray with dark charcoal accent, and white trim. Any suggestions for the front door? Just seems like the charcoal would be boring. I was thinking of a blue but am overwhelmed by the choices. Anybody use one tha'ts not too bright that would still stand out against gray?

Oh my goodness, y'all are awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestions! Beth H., I was considering a navy color at one point, but would it clash with the black shutters? I am awful with color rules. Roof Wizard, I love the teal and was leaning that way but you've really given me something to consider with the coral! I didn't even think of that as an option before. Jackitriplett, I suppose it doesn't need to be the same color on the inside as it is on the outside. I just assumed it's supposed to be the same on both sides and thought maybe it would look strange when opening it to have it two-toned? I've never had a front door with a non-neutral paint color so I'm just guessing at that :)

No, I don’t think it’s too dark, but it just depends on the lighting. You’d need to test it out. Colors can really lighten up with exterior light. It seems a dark navy could work best. I’m basing this on how the Storm Cloud Gray looks in your first pic here. For me, a dark navy could be nice.

Using unusual colors such as bright green on an exterior generally is perceived as inharmonious except when an expert chooses 3 or 4 such colors for a gingerbread-laden Victorian. It might make a good start toward simplifying this exterior by painting the green trim black to go with the front door.

The house is a peachy tan, or just tan? And the porch roof is green? If you want something quick, paint the window trim black or coffee brown, and the front door green to match the roof. Or maybe find a color scheme that incorporates the house color better and paint the trim, porch roof, and door.
