Beautiful home and gorgeous setting!

I like the color blocking affect on Photo 2, you could do the Navy on the middle upper wall area, the trim color would make it pop. Maybe you could add a horizontal trim board and paint the garage peak Navy. If you find the entry is too dark and shaded, you could do the entry walls in the trim color. Maybe you could try putting your photo in a website that will let you paint the colors on.

I honestly think the green and gold work very well together. Sorry, I'm no help.

I like the green but would use another darker green and a lighter tan, or would use brown and darker green for 3 color effect.

gorgeous home. you should stick to warmer tones considering your roof color. I think that the current color palette is a good one, but could be freshened up a bit and maybe toned down, ie. a more taupe-green shade. Check out Ben Moore color palettes for ideas and search Houzz images for inspiration.

Thank you, carrollt. Yes- the roof color is making a color choice much more difficult. I am thinking it might be best to leave it the same mossy shade of green but going lighter with the trim.

I actually save the first photo you attached to an ideabook. With the roof color, I think that color palette would work. Thank you for your advice and paint info. I love both of the pictures you attached.

I'm definitely digging Betty P's first color combo suggestion. We do all our white trim in Benjamin Moore's Super White, but I'm liking the cream trim as well. Or you could keep the hunter green color (one of my faves, just needs a fresh coat) and go with black trim and window frames/mullions. Loving that look as well.
