Advice for paint color & accents: 1941 brick front colonial

12 years ago

I just want to clarify that we are not painting the brick. Currently I'm deciding b/n BM's briarwood and rockport gray for the sides. Briarwood is slightly darker but can anyone comment on the color undertones. Shutter/front door: deep royal or hale navy. Front entrance way: Calming Cream. Using a shade of white on trim for the rest of the house. Also, any thoughts on garage door? I'm thinking about painting it the same color as the house vs white. Links to pictures. Any other color suggestions or ideas welcome.
