Here is another one with a dark gray (soft black) like you suggested originally. Two views shown below. ^ The trim is F&B "Railings" color. F&B refer to it as a soft black http://us.farrow-ball.com/railings/paint-colours/farrow-ball/fcp-product/100031

Dark gray or medium gray for the stucco above the brick - yes. Paint garage door to match the stucco color you ultimately choose. Paint your front door an accent color. Choose your accent color after you have painted the stucco and garage door. Your green front door might even work as is depending upon the stucco color you select. I like how these colors work with the brick on the insp pic below. Shutters - no. Remove them. You don't need them. Here is a brief article why they won't ever work on those windows https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/residential-architecture-101-shutters/ Landscaping would really help with your curb appeal. It makes a huge difference on how your home is presented to the world. Here are some landscaping insp pics below to get your started: ^Wide planting beds and wide walkway leading to your home (not right up against your home).

I guess I didn't say that I am trying to deemphasize the brick. Not sure if you can tell from the photo but they are Roman style bricks, lacking the interesting dark colors and white stain of more traditional flat brick. It seems like blues and greys would make those bright pink and orange tones pop. My original thinking was white with dark accents. But I do like the dark exterior colors that are popular now. I worry that the dark colors will just make the bright pink/orange really stand out. Ultimately I guess I am looking for the house to look fresh without changing the good bones that it has. I am trying to embrace the look of the brick. Someone want to talk about how to tone down the brick without painting it?

It did turn out nice. Interesting how the house started with almost the same trim as yours. She has some other options in the blog she links to at the bottom of the discussion. Maybe a purple door is in your future too. BTW, your dogs look very well behaved.
