Exterior paint desert home!

Hi there!

I'm hoping I can draw in some good commentary to help with my exterior paint dilemma! Background: I live in Phoenix, AZ in a 1977 'slump block' ranch home. The front of my home has never been painted and is traditionally left unpainted, HOWEVER that has changed and lots of people paint the slump block when updating. Slump block was originally marketed as 'maintenance free'. My quandry is should I paint it or skip it? If I do, I'm leaning toward a greigy white like Swiss Coffee for the entire body including trim and garage door. Eventually I plan to update the garage door to a carriage style door with black accents. Anyway, what would you do? Paint it or skip it? Warm white or something else? If I leave the block, what colors for the gable and trim? I really look forward to reading your ideas!
