What color for red roof w/ brown/"bronze" window trim? Help!

Hello,

We've replaced all of the windows at our place, with new Harvey Windows products. Unfortunately, their "dark bronze" is more of a straight up brown in real life. Our house has a red metal roof.


When we bought it, it looked like this:



The original thought was that the dark bronze trim windows would be nearly black (which is closer to how the sample looked), we'd ditch the shutters, and go with a white paint. But now that the windows are decidedly brown, I'm not sure that making everything else white will look quite right, or as dramatic/striking. Maybe now the corner trim should also be a similar brown? Or maybe even a raw/stained finish?


I'm open to options. The new windows have much narrower trim than the old ones, in red, had. The painter prefers to use Sherwin-Williams for the exterior, so if you have a particular color of theirs to recommend, that would be great!


Also, what, if any, colors other than red would make for a good option on the front door?
