Exterior trim/soffit/frieze color dilemma!

;We are getting a new roof on our 1940s blonde brick home, and we find ourselves overwhelmed in trying to determine what color to paint the various elements that are being replaced.


The roof itself will be a black metal standing-seam roof. When we replace the windows, we plan to use black (or at least a darker grey than we currently have) to trim them as well. So the question becomes what color to paint the soffit, trim, frieze boards.


I sort of think the soffit and frieze boards should be a neutral to blend in with the brick, and then facia/trim should be black. But my partner thinks it would be weird to change colors and everything should be black, especially because the frieze board extends down all the way to the top of the window trim. Thoughts/suggestions/recommendations?


Here is a photo of the house exterior as it currently exists:
