You have a very cute house, but there are so many colors and textures that you can't really see it. I think you should paint the front door and shutters black and the siding and gutters white. You could also do a whitewash on the brick.
I’d do khaki on the siding and black on the shutters. Khaki with black trim on the door. A big wreath on the door that pulls in the colors of the brick.
I'd use a deep forest green ...
White
Burgundy is good. I'd go with a warm khaki for the siding and gutters. there is a lot of "blonde" and warm tones with the roof color. It's a very cute house and I like all the textures. Burgundy will give it some depth and richness. Khaki will be a nice neutral to the compliment the stone colors.
I am assuming you mean rain spouts. I really don't know many homeowners who have painted the rain gutters differently. I have seen photos of that, though. My house is white with white spouts. No one I know really pays that much attention to the spouts and gutters being painted other colors; so no, I don't think it would be too much khaki. Draw the attention elsewhere, I say. I like your house! Burgundy & Tan will class it up too; those are nice, rich colors to compliment your brick & stone. Best of Luck!
think it would 'complement' and not blend in that much -- you've got a very 'OPEN FACE' home -- if you had lots of shrubbery/plantings in the front, I'd probably rethink that choice --- but I'm just not a fan of 'black'
Thanks for the comment. I think we have decided to go with khaki siding and gutters and burgundy front door and shutters.
Everyone has been very helpful. I appreciate your time:)
