Different colors for windows and doors???

10 years ago

So we are in the process of building a home, it is a Mediterranean/Italian/French style (so it a european country I guess) with rough cut limestone stone over-grouted, cream/yellow stucco walls, terracotta roof tiles and some wood trellises and corbels under roof. The front door is an antique striped wood with rusted iron insert and so is completely different than the doors and windows. So we are having aluminum clad wood windows and french doors and initially we were going to do Sage Green trim for the cladding for both doors and windows and with matching color shutters on some of the windows. But we are thinking this could be too much green. So now we are thinking of doing the windows in a medium brown (matching the wood trellis and corbels) and with the green shutters and keeping the doors green (we have A LOT of french doors so it would be noticeable). I haven't really seen this "design" before except maybe having the front door the one color and matching the shutters to that but as I said the front door is already completely different. I do not want brown windows and doors

So my question really is "Would this look dumb?". I like the idea since it's picking up the wood color but is this too busy and way too much going on?
