Exterior paint colors?

This is my house. I really hate the tan/brown color scheme. Looking for suggestions on colors that would match the roof. I would like to keep the brown soffit and fascia in order to save money.

    side of the door. Conifers in the containers would probably work well with the surrounding garden.

    You have a beautiful home! Another suggestion - goggle Plascon visualiser. There is a free download which enables you to use photographs of the house, together with their color chart, so that you can try different colors to see which will work best. It is a much simpler method than photoshop. This will at least enable you to play!
