Trim/siding/door color for pink orange brick

I’ve always thought the white trim/door/siding on our house look unfinished. I’d like to get this group’s opinion on what colors we should consider painting the trim, front door, garage doors and potentially siding.

Some considerations:
Trim is white, siding is a neutral cream (vinyl)
I’d like to replace the front door, transom and side lights (hate the oval in door)
Also need to replace lights flanking front door
I do not like those medallion things above windows
Our house is kind of hidden from view so visitors really only see the garage side when they come over. The front is visible from a main road.
I think previous owners added the stone right before selling. It doesn’t exactly match the front but I do like it a lot.

I know folks here hate to paint brick, but I happen to love it the look. If I had my way, I would white wash it to make it look older and cover up those pesky medallions. But I know that’s added expense, maintenance and (most importantly) probably doesn’t fit the style of home. So in the absence of a full paint job, painting the other components will hopefully “finish” this exterior. Thanks for your help, as always.
