Kimiko , you forgot the pic.

Thank you again Lori! I actually answered this last comment of yours with a longer reply but then edited it to correct a hanging parenthesis. Poof! I did everything all right, but the whole thing disappeared anyway. My laptop is in need of a tune up and it's getting a bit glitchy! I wanted you to know I deeply appreciate your thoughtful replies though, so I'm re-writing it (and the boiled down version, here, is more brief--so that's better). Replying to you helped me to ferret out my own thinking process and formulate a plan. I learned something by asking you about the gloss (that it tends to dissipate over time) but I agree...I don't really like "glossy" on the exterior. (And even if it dissipates, there would be areas which could be seen but would be a little more protected from weather and those would stay glossy.) I've realized, without rationalization nor denial, that the difference is only slight in color. I know myself very well: My brain is wired to first and foremost see discrepancies. It sees discrepancies as severely different at first. Yes, it tends to make me a discriminating (okay, "very picky") person (LOL) but over time my brain adjusts and I see more factually how much of a differential really exists. (Being able to see discrepancies so clearly makes me good at analyzing things, so it has its helpful uses!) Knowing this about myself, I placed the samples at a spot in my home which I walk past multiple times per hour so I'd see the samples suddenly and without thinking about them first. Thinking about other things as I went about my day, my eyes landed on the samples without anticipation of seeing them, and my brain told me they are the same color. This happened 3 times. Only upon closer, conscious glances did my brain say, "Oh, those are slightly different." So, perhaps I could live with the color and, as you say, move on! :) I appreciate the comments and, folks, please keep 'em coming if you have something helpful to add. There may be a new idea out there that can re-shape my thinking and help me to distill my best solution. On Monday, I'm going to call and ask some questions: 1. Can the gutter company provide the COLOR of the High Gloss White in a low gloss finish? 2. If not, can the gutter company factory-paint with my paint selections from Benjamin Moore's Aura line, perhaps with an additive to harden the paint? ...and also... 3. Can we identify places on my home where downspouts cross over the body of the house, if any, and have the gutter company paint those pieces of the gutter system a second color, to match the body of the house? Thank you Lori and everybody. I really appreciate your time!

For sure I would paint the narrow white strip around the garage door and the front storm door bronze. Assuming your chosen roof color, I would probably paint the gutters and all of the remaining trim bronze. The new windows should be bronze and they should have some kind of shutters because most of them are so small. I think casement windows in bronze would suit the house. A more horizontal style of shutter like the ones in the sliding shutter picture would be nice. I was up in the air about the soffits but perhaps someone could do a rendering showing them bronze as well to see if it all looks too dark.

what if you added some gable truss accents? (all diff styles, sizes and colors) tried to photoshop two for you This one is Urbane bronze trim w/the dark gutters. this brick is shoji white, but you get the idea of how it would look. I like the natural wood accents and think a few trusses might look nice on yours. This is stone, but just to show what a dark trim resembles. your roof is lighter, so you'd use the bronze tones instead of this black Creamier trim w/charcoal gray siding are these the color gutters you like? if you want a lighter gray trim like this one try modern gray w/this darker bronze on the accents. or do modern gray on the siding, and urbane bronze on the fascia trim and gutters Your pic is really small, but I tried to photoshop urbane bronze on your siding. Why not get some paint samples and try them out to see what you like?
