When you say the entire front entry way -- do you mean the entire vertical column to the roof -- or just the lower portion with the arch up to the horizontal break line? Either way -- I would go lighter (just the opposite of your idea - sorry). Just like the windows are trimmed in white drawing you to notice them -- I would lighten the entrance area. Alternatively, consider an Exterior Glaze tinted with a slightly Darker Grey (or any color for that matter). This can be applied evenly ... or applied evenly and then brushed over with a clean push-broom (no kidding). The Darker Grey (or accent color) will settle in your stucco pattern but the under Grey color will still show thru making your entrance a subtle difference from everything else but tied together. Long and involved idea (sorry) but I've done this stucco application many, many times with fabulous results (for large interior areas). The technique is exactly the same for Exteriors and you can research it for more details. Good luck.

Start with the roof (which looks like it needs to be done). After you've got that installed, you'll know what you are working with. Architectural? Color? If your budget allows, possibly do a metal roof (or at least over the porch); that will drive the follow-on decisions. Then, BEFORE you do anything else, remove the overgrown shrubs in front of the porch to open it up. It looks like you have siding. I'm not a proponent of trying to paint that, and not sure that you want to reside your house... so if you are going to work with the current siding, I'm partial to a dusty blue with some crisp white trim/gutters/garage/porch -- and you can go for a more dramatic hue of blue for the door.

Coming from Chicago, IMO there is nothing worse than a house that has a muddy off color in the dead of winter against all that dirty snow Light Mist and Pearl Gray are meh! Select a color that has some real contrast to the Arctic White trim.

Thank you all! As we’ve looked around the greater area white trim/windows is way over done. The Andersen rep is getting us a rendering of our house with the brown/bronze. i Like the image with the white garage, we can start out that way and always paint later. If we paint the brick bronze then dark garage doors might make it too heavy.
