What a beautiful location! This is what I think would look terrific for your cottage The pic has the colors posted in the comments, I'll put them here for you but it is worth the time to look at the home here on houzz, just click 'more info'. It is truly a nice Florida cottage with great colors SW 2250 "Fjord" - Siding SW 7627 "White Heron" - Trim, soffit, and porch ceiling SW 2821 " Downing Stone" - Steps and brick base And I love how the orange pillows bring out the color. It would be very nice for your home to have these colors IMO. For some reason the "more info" link didn't post so I put the houzz link directly under the photo.

I love the sage green shown above for your home. Glad to hear you are ditching the shutters :) Lately I am really loving the natural palette, like this one below: OR the green in this one with the eggplant front door (for example)

I have see much brighter blues. I’m sorry it’s not quite what you expected. Know this . .....the average passerby will give your house a glance, and move on. I mean this in a good way. I am assuming that you chose this from a chip. Unless you actually see a color on an actual home, it’s difficult to choose from paint samples or photos. What color would you change it to, and how will you know that it won’t disappoint you like this one did?I

Hi! Looking for suggestions for new paint color for siding, garage doors, shutters and front door. Would like to do something darker.
