I think we have settled on SW 6194 Basil for the house color only because I really like green houses. However, if you have an eye for color, please feel free to offer a different color. All I know is I hate this light blue. We originally thought SW 6193 Privilege green with SW 6236 Grays Harbor, but I really want a slightly darker green house. However, if we go with this darker green, I cannot figure out what color to paint the trim. Our garage door and our back facing windows have been replaced with a stone color and I don't want to paint them. (The front wood windows are the originals but will be replaced with the stone vinyl windows in the next year or 2.) I just bought SW 9111 Antler Velvet to try with them (we think our windows are close to SW 9110 Malabar) and I don't like it at all. If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. I like earthy colors. I like the idea of a blue trim with the Basil, but I really have no idea if that color combo would work AND I don't know which SW color. The painter we hired uses Sherwin-Williams paint. Front and back photos of house attached. (House faces north.) Thank you!

With the windows and garage doors I would probably go with the same color for the fascia and gutters. I think white siding would look too stark in the gable ends. Something in the taupe family to bridge the dark trim/windows and the lighter brick would look nice.

I love that door! That deep red brick is very powerful, saturated color, and it needs Trim and accents that can stand up to it without battling. British racing green, a deep blackish green or greenish black, or charcoal, ith a little bit of thin white lines (more experienced people will have advice as to exactly how to place this), would be beautiful. I would use something just a tad lighter for that floor. Given the fact that people are going to be walking on it and leaving scuffs and shoe prints, I'm afraid the darker colors would always look messy.

I think I would match the trim to the color of the windows. Doesn't have to be wide trim.
