Need help with exterior trim colors

13 years ago
We have a red brick ranch home, presently with all brown trim. We would like to add some dimension and lighten it up, so we are adding a small porch with gable, getting new windows and shutters, and re-doing all of the trim, siding and gutters. We are also going to get new Mahogany front doors with a little glass. I am torn between using all "light clay" color to replace the brown or having white windows and white porch pillars with everything else "light clay" (shutters, trim, gutters, siding, etc.). You can't really see the siding in the picture because it is on the side above the garage and in the back, but there will also be a little bit on the new porch. I want white windows on the inside and it is cheaper to get all white windows, but we are willing to pay more for two-tone (light clay on outside / white on the inside) if it looks better. Any advice on monochromatic vs. white windows and pillars or any other suggestions?
