I like the darker color. More dramatic and eye-catching. I even like the turquoise door they show in the photo you posted!

They're both great - I can see why you're having trouble deciding. It looks like the dark blue would make your house stand out more from your neighbors. Some people would prefer that, some wouldn't, but maybe this is a factor that will help you to decide.

Yeah! I found just what I was looking for…because of all the windows with white trim, I would paint the entire house/garage door white. Then, I would add an applied stone to the wall…like in this inspiration photo. And from photo below, just simple planting...notice the stone bed.

With your roof I like the Iron Ore window better. Has more contrast than the slate. In the Cape Cod siding you could go with something like Antique Silver or something similar. With the Maibec maybe Driftwood. If you're interested in seeing some virtual finishes on your home check out my web site, Creative Visual Concepts.

I'd go with something from the green/green-yellow hue family from the stone because of the red brick; wouldn't put anything blue up against that.

I like sand siding color more. It is very calm, tranquil and intelligent.

You say it's a Beach House so I would prefer colours such as illustrated below.

Thanks Celery and lisedv. I was limited in color selection and budget so the best colors IMO were sand or navy. i went with navy! I want it to stand out and look different from my neighbors which are mostly all beige.

I like the midnight surf color the best. The tan looks a bit ordinary, and boring.

Thanks ct-ky! Just received a call though from my siding guy. Midnight surf no longer available in the 5 inch so he is offering me another company. Certainteed Monogram Siding. The colors I like with this company are Seagrass and Pacific Blue. Leaning towards pacific blue... What does everyone think? TIA!
