What color is your roof?

In a wooded setting, brownish grey or greyish brown can work well. Think natural color of tree trunks. If you can afford it , a garage door with windows would look great. Otherwise paint garage door to match house or trim.

House or new asphalt. Which are you asking about for color ideas?

Some ideas

Would black trim look ok?

You have white windows, so I think white would be better. I like the gray on the siding, but you could do almost any color.

IMO gray with white trim would be a good color for the house. However, the landscaping is in dire need of a completely new plan including landscape lighting.

Thank you Beverly, how did you get grey paint on a picture of my house ? So cool.

I use MS Paint

lots of things you can do.

I'd first lose that reddish brown trim color, paint the garage door, add some more modern lights, numbers and take away that lattice! you could replace all of that beat up wood w/some cedar or redwood slats. easy to diy. give them a coat of marine varnish

would kind of look like this. imagine the darker garage door color painted around your windows.

So this photoshop I got from this:

it's Westhighland White and Analytical Gray. notice all the wood accents. the address above the garage, the hardscape, plants.

Here are some color combos to go w/the base color

your home has the potential.

I don't know what's up w/the asphalt, but you need proper edging along the sides. Brick, gravel, pavers, whatever, just do something. it's easy enough to DIY

see how these edge the driveway? you can make them yourself. lots of tutorials.

you could even do these cement pavers all along the side of the driveway for a more modern look

add in the black pebble rock, maybe some DG. I like the wood fence. put your address in big numbers on the front of it.

you have a huge expanse of grass, so don't be afraid to do something diff

beds under the window

Thank you Beth . You helped me think outside the box. We just bought this house so we have to take one step at a time. Your two tone was exciting. And the pavers and new. Black top a must. Again thank you for going above and beyond to step out my comfort zone. Oh and we planed on putting horizontal fence but maybe just halfway up to expose some of the Front door and lighting. 😊
