Help with exterior paint color ideas to go with brick

I could use some color ideas for painting this house. It's in Wyoming where most of the year there is snow, and no leaves. Despite the first picture, it's usually sunny year round.





We'd prefer to NOT paint the brick, and keep the white windows and probably garage doors.

We've thought about blues and blue gray. We're not sure if we could pull that off with this house due to the flow. (It has 3 sections that depending on the paint color could look disjointed -- left split level part, middle section that's brick, and right side with garage doors broken up by brick columns) With a dark or medium blue gray would it be too broken up?

We've thought of using yellow again or even a slightly softer yellow but getting rid of the green shutters (painting a different color or removing).

We've thought about white or near white but with all of the snow here, we'd prefer some color. It doesn't have to be bold, but we need more color than white.

What colors would you suggest?

Is it even possible to make this house look more updated by only painting the siding and not the brick?

Would you keep the shutters?

Would you paint above the garage doors the same color as the main (left side) of the house or something different?

The shingles are actually going to replaced as well if you have any input on that.
