I don't get the dark brown/black roof relationship. I'd consider painting all the dark trim a creamy off-white that harmonizes with the siding. Shutters Black Bean from Sherwin Williams. Front door could be anything in the warmer reds: a straight up warm red, a red-orange, orange, rust, terracotta - I'd defer to the slate for what direction to take for the door. Just make sure the paint store directs you to red hue family colors that are suitable to use outside. Nothing more disappointing than finding the perfect front door red and learning that it's interior only.

After seeing your very pretty living room, I understand your hesitance to go red on the front door. If the room is an example of your taste, you go for more muted tones. Don't think I'm crazy for suggesting a "purple", but there are two really lovely Sherwin Williams muted plum colors that might give the feeling of your gray but be a bit more interesting. My friends has the same color shutters that you do with SW Expressive Plum on her front door and its soft and lovely. I also really, really like the one shade darker on the color card but I can't find my card or remember the name. But this is just a suggestion, you may hate plum! I have door that is one color (in my case wood) but sidelights and transom are white like the trim around my windows, etc. However I think it works on my house b/c I have the transom, flagstone steps leading up to a portico with a copper roof. All of those things give the entrance more weight/importance. Since your entrance is more flat, I think your next best bet (and cheapest!) is to give the entrance more weight by making it look bigger/more important...ie, painting it as though it is all one unit. And maybe going with a slightly more interesting color (but still muted they way you like.) But I do think you went a step in the right direction painting the sidelights like the door! I don't know that painting those vertical trim pieces a third color would help...that would still break up the "unit". (And just to clarify, just the vertical white trim b/t the door and sidelights. The trim around the entire thing is good the way it is.) Its a pretty nice color but have you thought about going a shade or so darker? As you mentioned, outside in the sun things can look very light.

Could you post a picture, please?

I love how you added the door in many colors to our house, Beth H. You are all making me wonder if I'd be better with a rich navy instead of a turquoise front door. Both Kensington Blue and Indi go-go are pretty similar. Do you all like the navy better than turquoise? Any other ideas? Thanks!
