any of these SW colors in any combination would look beautiful in your mature foliage setting and enhance the cedar door. ... and a nice backdrop for that Mimosa Tree... LOVE IT!

Help with exterior paint color/trim color/roof color

Looks like you have it thought out. I would suggest picking your roof color before you pick your paint color. Paint color is much easier to change over the years. Personally, I would pick a very neutral shade such as grey or black (like you suggested). This way you have many other color options for the color of your home as time goes on. You can find a beige/grey to soften the red in your brick. Versus a cooler grey (Wow that looks really blue next to the top one- but when by themselves, they both look more grey) It will be nice to see how your roof impacts the look of your home over the course of the year and throughout the different seasons. I am not sure where you are located but a north facing home, in the northern US, a grey will take on more of those blue tones. Yes, I would make those attic vents blend in. I am not sure that I helped any. Good Luck!

Your home is BEAUTIFUL inside! What a wonderful job you have done with it! I love the old wooden floors, the crisp white trim, and your modern furnishings. It is lovely. You have done a great job with it. I like the beige/gray walls inside, as well as the gray tones that you have used. Your home could look wonderful painted a blue/gray color, if you want a change. You could experiment with some color on your porch with large black modern style pots filled with colorful flowers. Your yard, as I see it, is mostly paved. So, if you want to bring color there, too, a planter under your front window (with the awning) would be nice. Trust your judgment AND taste. You have both!

I love your MCM home. I particularly love your front door. The garage door is okay, but I do think it would be better as a wood or (plexi) glass type garage door like one of the below insp pics. I also would go with a green gray for your exterior color of the body of your home like one of the green/grays below. If you choose to keep your garage door, then naturally it would be painted the same as your siding or one shade darker of that color. If you do paint the siding in the greens, then change the accent color of your front door to the oranges or even eggplant or some other contrasting color. ^Glass type overhead door ^Garage door that coordinates with your front door.

Blue is a complement to the orange in the cedar and Green looks good with wood also. It is hard to imagine what to do with the red trim -- it really draws the eye in and distracts from the pretty natural elements around you. Try some samples next to the cedar and cover the existing paint/trim so you're not distracted by it.

ETA: forgot to say that these are Sherwin Williams colors

I really like the greens suggested. Here are two colors that look good with your roof and cedar. I’m visualizing the green as the trim color, because I like the way the darker color of your current trim outlines the architecture of the house.

I like the Rosemary or Shade Grown. Also Urbane Bronze might be nice if you want something more neutral. You will have to sample a couple colors next to the siding to make sure they will work.
