Thank you for the replies everyone. No we can't change the window order and we actually did consult a designer before I ordered the windows. I asked her opinion on the white windows and she was fine with it knowing I wanted a classic traditional, timeless look. I actually never considered my house to be a MCM. I have an original photo somewhere taken by an appraiser when it was built. I considered it more of a California Rancher with a little Cinderella Rancher thrown in. It has had shutters since it was built, the only difference is that they have been updated over the years getting rid of the chipped edge look. The window with the diamond leaded glass was replaced and the rounded facia boards which extended past the roof by about 4 feet were cut back. I mentioned we are open to getting rid of the shutters we're just wondering how to add more interest or color if we did. It is such a long house, I don't want it to look boring.. A MCM look would not fit in in this old country-like neighborhood. It would stand out. We do have an Eichler neighborhood nearby where that would fit right in. Thanks again.

Here are a few of the options others have mentioned, just for visualization. Sigrid's (sorry if neither of these shades is what you had in mind!): And Celery's: If the shutters are kept, Celery's suggestion in the inspiration photo of painting them the trim color is probably the option I like best, but my eye still goes immediately to the shutters and not to the entry. The balance is different here from the inspiration photo since these shutters are on the upper level only. One other thought: If the left-side addition has to be kept, might it be possible to reframe its roof to a hip instead of a shed? That might help to integrate it better. The last photo above shows the reframed roof; you can see what you think. And here are three views without shutters, the original one with the addition as-is, and two with the reframed roof (exact configuration depends on the addition's dimensions, which I don't have):

This is basically what these colors will look like (the AFter) once on the home. what about a darker siding like shown here? they make a deep indigo siding I used these 3 colors on my home. This is Peppercorn on the trim and how it looks w/the dark siding color and the brick. I like the black around the window too I hope you remove the shutters. they do nothing for the home. they're too long, and just don't fit the look of the house. If you have to leave the shutters by the door, fine, but please consider removing the window shutters. here's a similar style home (brick was painted) but notice how nice the porch/windows look With some landscape work, yours could look very, very close to this one. The colors are BM Sea Peral and Repose Gray you could always do a color match w/behr paint. that's what I do. Have you considered white washing the brick? Romabio Classico would be an option. this is Romabio limewash tinted w/BM Seapearl and Simply White on the siding. Cedar wrapped posts. another version This is Galveston Gray w/a German Schmear on the brick This color looks close to Anonymous, kendall charcoal or Chelsea gray, w/black trim and wood/copper accents darker siding color than what you've picked, white brick, dark trim. Have you checked out James Hardie siding? here's a darker siding w/Romabio masonry painted brick. (for a heavier coverage. still natural and maintenance free)

Shutters will not fit on the second floor window. There is no space between the eaves and the top of the window. Shutters on the lower windows will look odd without shutters on the top window. I'd paint the window trim a color with a higher contrast, like a white to make them stand out more.
