Exterior paint...trim, porch/deck color. Lose the shutters?

Repainting and need to decide in colors by Monday. After much deliberation trying to work with the new roof which is quite orangey, and existing brick we have landed on SW Rookwood blue green for the body, including the garage door.
Maybe SW Dover White for trim. I'm not sure which trim and other items should be white, the body color, or a third color (e.g below roofline, vertical trim, around garage door, the front deck rails etc).
I think i want to stay with a red door.
I don't know whether to keep the shutters or not (one is damaged and needs replacing), if we keep, what color? A similar color to body or contrasting?
Should the front porch/deck railings and spindles and base ... all same as body? All white? All body color but rail different?
My husband would like a third color, that we could replace where there is red right now other than the door, but i worry it would be too busy. But i don't want boring either.
I would love some advice! Thanks in advance!
