Exterior window trim darker than windows?

Hi all,

We are making our final decisions about exterior colors. Our home will have red brick, a greige (cabot color quary stone) board and batten siding and white windows (already in). We thought we would choose a darker versin of the greige for the facia, soffits, downspouts etc, and then wondered if the wood trim around the exterior windows should be white to match windows or dark greige to match the facia, etc. Our garage door is also to be a darker version of the greige (i.e. a few shades darker than the main siding colour).

What do you think? If our windows are white on the exterior, should the exterior window trim also be white? Or should we go for darker coloured window trim (i.e. a few shades darker than the body colour of the siding)?

Any thoughts welcome and very appreciated!

Carol
