Looking to repaint siding and brick with a light grey. Any suggestions

Looking to repaint siding and brick with a light grey. Any suggestions? Thinking of a darker grey for shutters and a white for trim. Still not sure what to do with front door but want to retain the "cabin" type look. All suggestions welcome. Thanks much

I'm having a hard time determining if your brick is reds or browns so I chose some grays that have green undertones and will work with either. Consider painting the body of your home using BM #HC-95 Sag Harbor Gray or #1522 Inner Balance. Shutters would look good in #1524 Nature's Scenery. How about #1526 Evening Grove for a tonal look for the front door or #1195 Patina for a reddish/brown contrast?

I'm having a hard time imagining the gray because I really like your house the way it is.

Thank you for the ideas Pamela. I've uploaded some pics of the stone on the front. Please note I plan on painting the brick the same color as the siding.
