I worked on some different color combos in Photoshop, I want to freshen it up and make it look a little more modern, but now playing with it I'm not so sure which direction to go. My color choices are limited because of the stacked rock around my entrance (which I love, don't get me wrong) - - because I need to match it, obviously.
SO what to do? Do I stick close to the original, dark taupe and keep the trim light (cream?) ?? I'm thinking the stone around the entrance pops more when there's a light color around it, versus dark?? I think I lean toward Option #4, which is funny because that's the one that's most similar to the original color - - Oh, I don't know. I like a lighter garage door color, slightly different that the body of the house - and I want a front door that pops. Blue? Red? (But this would only work if I could lose the security door, but my husband's not too keen on that idea...) Unless I went with black, which would be awesome - then we'd just spray the security door black to match as well.
Oh, and one more thing? That iron fence, in front of J's upstairs window? It's a gaggy rusty pink color at the moment. Do we paint it the same color as the trim, or black to match the front door??

What I thinking...
#4 is the best. The iron fence works in the trim or the door color. I would pick the door color so it is in more than just the door. I dont see it as an accent color. Unless you are trying to hide the iron fence....then trim color.
#3 That red door doesn't seem right. I think it the shade of red.
#2 Hate the light color. Too bland with garage door. Maybe the light color if the door and garage door were different colors.
#1 My second choice, but too bland. Colors with trim/doors need to be a larger contrast.
Good luck. Happy painting!
option 4 is my vote. paint the railing the same as the trim. black door is good. why do you have a deadline from the hoa to paint?
i like 4 also. i like the black door and spraying the security door black. same opinion as amberly on the railing as the trim color.
#4 for me too. No question.
The old lady in the group likes: option 1 because of the natural earth colors, It looks inviting and welcoming.
Option 4 is good, has a more modern, updated look. We have a black garage door and it gets very Hot
Original is good, same reasons as #1.
THis was fun, what is our next project??
Not that my opinion mattered, but #4 was the one i liked. But I'm drawn to 2.
#2 is my favorite for sure. I think that color looks fresh and happy, but I'm biased because it closely matches the color of my house :o). Maybe paint the garage door a darker shade of brown/tan to add demension.
#4 would be my second vote
