Nice choices @Beth H. :!

OP, how clever to have a color coordinated cat! 🙀

found some more colors

Here are some more saturated, deeper tones. I love any of these for the front door. some could be used for the trim or siding. I love The two plum tones or the Chamois for the front door.

then bring in hardware/lighting w/this bronze tone

or gold

Thank you! Pacer White is one of the colors I had chosen for the trim. What about SW Times of Sand for the body?

Sands of Time is the top one

Actually, Any of these will work. But I wouldn't go too taupe-ish since it's almost the same as what you currently have. you want some contrast.

more neutral, less taupe color, more beige. The warmer gray tone is nice too. might look good on the garage doors

I think I'd look into Divine White and Alabaster, in addition to pacer white. try samples of those.

you can always have Behr do a color match of the SW colors. their samples are cheaper than SW.

just so you can see more contrast w/lighter siding colors. here are warm gray garage doors

what do you think about my deep plum for the door color? I think it goes great w/the darkest tone in your brick.

stand in front of your garage doors, close them, and take another pic that shows all the doors w/the bricks. try and make the picture larger than your other ones. I'll see if I can play around w/the door colors.

I love the plum color for the door and I love the idea of a wood door. I like the look of the pacer white as well.

Beth, I’m at the hospital with my mom right now. I plan on being home this weekend. I can do that then and I will post them. Thank you so much!

oh sure. so sorry. hope things will be ok.

post it when you get a chance.

The entrance way is snowbound and the entrance way wall is practical beige

Here is a picture that’s a little closer of the house.

The landscape is being redone as well

I added more pics to my 3rd comment. few more color palettes, and some garage door color choices.

yeah, I think sands of time is too close to what you already have. obviously Snowbound is a little cooler looking than pacer white. try Pacer and Divine white and see what you like. Maybe Swiss Coffee too (BM)

Nice home and yard.

Would not paint either brick or stone.

Consider the roof color as you choose your siding color.

You could paint all the painted exterior surfaces white -- siding as well as window and door trim in addition to fascia and soffit and gutter. Then add a splash of your favorite bold color at your entry door.

Have you considered creating a front porch left of your garage (at least 6' deep) and wide enough to end just before (to the right side of that first window left of the front entry porch/hall.

Make the front porch at least 6' deep and begin right of the window nearest the front and across the front to the left side of the garage. You'd then have the option to enclose the current front porch/hall and move your interior door forward, making your front door more prominent and the focal point of the front of your home.

How about Soft Fawn for the body, Alabaster or Swiss Coffee for the trim and a dark plum front door?

I hope your mom is okay.

Thank you RedRyder, I have talked about a front porch a few times. I’m gonna have to share your idea with my husband. Those colors are beautiful! I’m gonna have to get home this weekend and pull out all the different swatches. I can’t wait!

Here's the carnelian color photoshopped over the front door.

I really like this color w/your brick. the trim around the door would be your white color.

I also like th Emtek Hamden front door hardware in the gold or the bronze color color:

upload the colorsnap app and you can see the colors on your home

I love the soft fawn and the divine white. The carnelian isn’t a color I’ve ever thought about but I really love it!

here's the Swiss coffee color.

You could do the carnelian along the roof trim, and the white elsewhere. or the carnelian on the garage doors.

Or, do the stucco/siding in the carnelian, and the swiss coffee trim. all sorts of combos.

I love a dramatic front door color. trimmed out w/the white, and a gold or bronze door handle, and it should pop against that brick. It's a lovely plum/raisin sort of color

I'd just go for a bit more contrast than what you currently have. Sands of Time matches, but it's so close to your current color. it's a little blah.

amp it up a bit!

There are other plum colors that will look great on the door once you’ve done the body and trim. Your door will be the “smile” every house needs. I absolutely love the idea of aged brass hardware since it would complement the soft colors we are looking at. @suezbell gave you the porch idea!

Hi RedRyder,I saw that after I posted and didn’t know how to go back and say thank you to Suezbell. Such a great idea! Thank you!!!

I like the front porch idea too. remove all those hedges and add onto that front, lining up w/the garage door to the right.

here are some example of porch additions. try and use your imagination on how these might look under your front windows

this one is just a simple wood arbor. probably less because there is no roof involved.

porches w/roof

ignore the gable on the roof. you would just do a simple roof overhang. you could do it so it's like above, or completely covered w/the porch posts like below

I love that porch with the 5678 numbers on it. ❤️

i do too. along w/the flower bed, landscaping, and the dark garage doors!

the first picture would be the least expensive to do

look at "front porch arbor/pergola add ons"

if you go w/a solid roof, consider doing a wood stained ceiling. you could even do it to your current porch ceiling. get some wood beadboard and stain it.

if the budget is a bit more, consider doing the covered porch over to the left in front of the windows.

You have the perfect amount of depth for a nice porch (you'd take it out level w/the garage door).

This would really open up the front of your home! removing those hedges in front of the windows will make a huge difference. but adding the porch, wow!

you could do cement, wood or stone deck floor, any type of post, and any height. I do like the flower beds in front of them:

Love that design!

I think that first one (w/the black house and wood arbor) would look amazing on yours! It's almost the same type of set up that you have. their door is set back like yours

The arches are a cool addition.

If you did the cement floor, you could get the porch paint in similar colors and paint those squares to look like tiles. (if you notice, they have brick too so it gives you an idea how this would look next to yours. ) Do the Carnelian and the Swiss coffee color!

to keep it from looking too busy against the brick, I'd paint the arbor the white color, as opposed to doing natural wood. And, getting paint grade wood is a lot cheaper and less maintenance than the cedar or redwood option.

If you have the funds and manpower, the porch addition will totally change your house. First, you need to pick paint colors….. :)

One option for a front porch or even a smaller portico could be to use a shaped front for the porch. You could have a "point" to the roof or you could use a flat roof and still use five of the six sides of a hexagon for the shape of the porch

You could use the garage wall as one side of a "hexagon" with a parallel straight side to the porch on the other side -- placing that side of the porch on either side of that first window. Take into consideration if you want that window shaded if you choose the larger porch.

Your porch floor could have the two parallel straight sides and then two angled sides that meat another straight front side.

The roof could have a center point with three front slopes and then te back of the front porch roof could merge into the existing roof in a traditional center ridge style.

You'd have multiple "sides" to your porch to decide where you want your front sidewalk/entry point to be. You could leave an opening in the landscaping and/or railing (or screened door) so the entry is in the angle facing the driveway rather than the front straight side of the porch. Yo could also leave an opening in the railing or landscaping to exit the porch to the left toward a small front yard patio, moving your hedge forward away from the house to create a green fence for it.
