Hi pudgybaby, we are nothing if not opinionated :-) The rock is far too orange for me. Natural material or not, I don't think I would ever come to terms with that color by trying to camouflage it by painting the siding. I agree that trying to stain or mortar wash the stone is your best bet. That said, if you don't like orange, why have you chosen essentially the same color for the front door? I think stained, not painted, wood doors are perfect for your style house, but definitely in another stain color. I'd wait to choose those until you decide what to do with the major design element--- the stone. Double doors are, IMO, perfect for your house--- wide and welcoming. If your budget allows, could you replace the garage door with a real wood one stained to match the door (whatever color that turns out to be) ? You can't pretend the garage is not front and center, and I have never seen a garage "disappear" with paint.....if you paint it lighter it is a bright mass in front..... Darker and it becomes a black hole. There are some beautiful wood garage doors out there that,would tie in the front entrance and the garage stylistically, and give you another natural material that will go well with stone. I would definitely do something with the concrete porch, either stain it, use quarry tile, or flagstone tile. Brick pavers is too much. But again, until you make a decision about the rock color you cannot pick a material for the concrete. The massing of the planters and paths is a task best left to your landscape designer, who should be able to give you the feel of your inspiration picture without duplicating it exactly.

@groveraxle i've seen some of your posts with house exteriors. Interested in your thoughts if you have the time.

If you are leaning towards white for the body of the house (or the Repose Gray from @chloebud), the trim can be a medium light gray. Not a huge contrast. I like the color blocking idea but I agree with you it’s not exactly right for your house. I think you can pop out the garage windows and change them. Some garage doors have that option. Don’t give up on that idea - it needs to be changed.

Here's a visual of dark blue-gray siding and white trim, so you can see what you think before you paint. I left the black shutters and painted the garage doors dark to keep the eye focused on the entry and not the garage. (Someone better at color will have to suggest a good "pop" color for the front door.) To me, the third porch column narrows the entryway too much, so I removed it (assuming it's not structural), widened the walk and steps, and added a black iron railing. The large blank gable seemed to need something, so I added a diamond-shaped gable vent there. I would prune the tall evergreen on the right corner to reduce its height and replace the yellow-green shrubs with softer, more relaxed plantings. These are catmint 'Walkers Low' edged with sweet alyssum near the porch, catmint 'Cat's Pajamas' left of the driveway, and ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' (plus a stepping-stone connector) in the strips between driveway and entry walk and sidewalk and street. These are all easy-care, and the ajuga won't mind getting stepped on occasionally. (The ajuga flowers in spring, catmint in summer, not at the same time as shown here.)
