Exterior Color Combo

My inspiration door is the second photo. Is my door too bright? Should my mailbox and house numbers both be black. How can I pull this together?

Can you remove the storm door?
Add black hardware? Black mailbox would be good!
Add landscape in front of the lattice.

That is where I’d start - the door isn’t an exact match to the inspiration on my screen but it doesn’t look bad

Cute house! I agree that the black elements on your inspiration photo really add a lot with the color of the door. I might paint the storm door black:

Looking to stain our A-frame cedar cabin Mustard with navy and cedar accents. I am having hard time finding mustard colour that I really like. Any recommendations? I most often use Ben Moore. Please avoid a brown/mustard If you know any great exterior colour combos let me know. We are avoiding whites and creams as we live in the pacific northwest and maintenance would be difficult.

Do not paint the brick. Choose colors that coordinate with the brick and the roof. First, you need a photo with the roof showing, as that color is also a big part of the home. Then you can try out different options with a paint app so you can see what you like. If you have snow often, white isn't usually the best color for a house. The current colors are nice as they are. I think tudors are best with natural warm colors like tans, browns, and greens.

I would buy paint that is made for brick, and color match it to your siding and paint the bottom half the same color as the siding. Its a bit too busy as it is, with the roof and the brick. Once that is done, the door needs to be repainted a nice brighter color, that is one of your favorites. I dont mind the shutters, but, I do think they are the wrong color for the house. They should be closer to the color of the roof. There is just too much going on there. I do agree, you need landscaping, but, I also very well understand, waiting until next year.

love what lisadv did in the photoshop. 100% copy that. (and get some new landscaping that fits that design) for the colors, try kendall Charcol. it's a warmer gray. Chelsea Gray is also a nice one. for the darker color trim, try Wrought Iron, or one of these others. A new front door and more modern address numbers would complete the look See i you can have your current door fitted w/the glass panels like shown here.

I agree, the black mailbox would look great. I also agree, to paint the storm door black. Usually I wouldnt paint the storm door, because, they already have such a tough finish on them, but, in your case, I would either paint it black, or replace it with black. I most certainly would not remove it. I love the color of your doors.
