Hi congratulations on your new home. It looks really nice. First a disclaimer, I'm not a designer, but I'm happy to give you my opinion. If you have the option to pick up a sample of your stone and take it and compare it to the siding colors, I think that is best and when they are laying side by side, you'll be able to see what colors you are drawn to. I would do my best to take the colors from the stone. Just looking at the pictures, it looks like some of the lighter stone has some of the same shade/tones as the almond garage door. If that is the case, then I would look for two shades of brown in the stone that harmonize with the stone for your siding and shake. I would try to keep the garage doors and trim the same if possible. To my untrained eye, I would look at the Navajo beige trim as well as the sail cloth with the almond door. If you decide to do the taupe door, I might look at cobblestone. As for the siding and shingle, I think they look too much alike, and I would want more of a contrast. Maybe look at Khaki brown for the siding or maybe even Autumn brown. Hope that gives you something to think about. Good Luck!

Looking back at your current living room color... I think it looks nice. I think what isn't working for me are the couch pillows. I'd use some that have a slight pattern ( 2 of those) and a solid. I would probably lose the middle pillow. I hope you don't mind my suggestions

I feel like everyone with greige homes and darker trims has black windows or shutters at least, so I wasn't sure if my white windows everywhere will look good with the dark rock and darker trim (well again, I originally planned on white trim). I did like the black garage door you had in the pic above with the large numbers very much. This one of many choices and I just feel overwhelmed! You have so many great ideas on the garage, I just need to finalize this trim and make a decision ; )

Love the pics everyone is sending with beautiful coloured doors. Any magazine pic I see with a nice bold coloured door, shows the door being protected from the elements. I am in my mid 60’s…hope to stay in my house for awhile yet, but don’t want to have to redo the door or entrance again after this next time. Help me to figure out what do do. If I was going with a paler colour that would last longer without fading, what would everyone suggest that would work with the house. I am not redoing any window frames, so the entrance framing would remain white, but put a colour on the door? Is there a MCM light green colour that would work and that would go with the roofing. I have to change the roofing next year or the following but would most likely go a similar green again? I do need some privacy in the windows and the doors as they see through a walkway where the transom is from the bedrooms to the living and kitchen areas, and the sidelights show that same area and the family room downstairs. I am really trying to get this right for myself, and for the next person wishing to own my home. As you all know, this is quite costly so really appreciate all your help to figure it all out. Thanks
