Help with dormer colors!

11 years ago

We just purchased this house and we are doing some interior remodeling. Also replacing the roof, so while I'm at it I want to replace the vinyl siding on the dormers with hardieplank. The house is set back in the lot on a culdesac with the garage front and center. I feel like the cream dormers and white garage doors pull the eye away from the house, so I'd like to switch things up. Here is the original and a mockup I had done. I'd like to stick with hardie's pre-finished products which limits my color choices a little (thinking khaki brown, woodstock brown, autumn tan or monterey taupe). Also assuming we'll go with the same color trim on the dormers as the siding as I don't want them to look too busy. We'll likely remove the shutters, paint the garage door, and go with a charcoal architectural roof. What are your thoughts on color choices and any other suggestions?
