This is just a very quick render but I want to put in my two cents in! I feel the house is lacking color variety and depth. It needs more contrast and a better balance of warm and cool colors.

As you can see I made the following adjustments.

1) Install Darker and more neutral roofing

2) Select a neutral gray tone in medium darkness for the stucco and roof trim

3) Select a warm brown or wood toned garage door

4) Replace existing garage sconces with dark black tube or contemporary lantern style fixture.

Hope I was able to help!

Good Luck!

I like the colors of this brick house. Even if painting the brick is not what you are wanting to do, it seems like a similar palette. They also have white grid windows. I would personally not go with almond windows (I have them in my own house and if you want to paint the trim a light color it just looks awkward...) so my advice is go white or black with the windows.

what color is your roof going to be? also, are staying with shakes or going to a different roof type.

I can't really tell what color your brick and stucco are currently. . to be honest, they both look beige.

I think that with your landscaping and beige appearance of your house that I would go with almond for the garage door and windows. White seems to cold and stark for the warm coloring of your home and landscaping. I can't tell if the garage door is a beige color or white now due to the lighting in the image. it may be white, but the true color is obscured by shade.

can you take a few more images from different angles so have a better idea of your brick color, etc. you might even take close up of the brick in the brightest light possible so that we can see what color that it is.

The rendering by Jake Winttrock Art looks like it has grey trim. Possibly he can tell you the color that he used for the trim. I really like the colors that he used in his rendering

Charley,

If you are unable to match the windows to the wood of the garage doors my second suggestion would be to paint them gray color selected for the stucco and the trim. If neither of those options are available I would suggest standard white windows. The gray color from the rendering was an approximation. It is very difficult to select a solid color match remotely and with such low resolution photos, here are some of the grays that seemed inspiring to me. These paint colors are from [Benjamin Moore[(https://www.houzz.com/products/benjamin-moore-prbr0lbl-pl~l_20922).
