The colors you picked out should look nice on your home. The reddish colored bricks may contrast slightly, but if that is the look you want, go for it!

*When using darker colors, the South and West sides may show fading more quickly than the rest of the house.

**It looks as if you have some raw aluminum. It is important that your painter pressure washes the siding well, and primes the raw aluminum with a suitable primer, prior to painting, or you may end up with peeling paint in those areas.

Congratulations on your first home!

Make sure you test colors on a movable board before you have the exterior painted - the colors look different from the monitor and will look different in various times of the day or evening. Blue is very hard to get right, but looks fabulous when it is done right. I will see if I can find a couple of blue siding homes as insp pics so you can have a place to start your color tests.

One comment about your shutters: remove the shutters on the front right double window and add shutter hardware to the other two sets of shutters so they look functional even if they aren't, it will add lots of personality to your home. They need to be sized right (half the size of the window for each shutter). Here is a link to a brief article written by an architect for you Shutters vs Shudders

I think the blue can be very nice, with the right color blue and the right color trim and shutters. Here is a blue that works well with brick and Sherwin Willimams (and other paint co's) have a way to color match the Hardy siding if you like this color blue (called Evening Blue).

Landscaping and a wide walkway to the front porch will be the key to finishing your home:

That house is adorable. Congratulations! I love the color you've picked out but *in my opinion only* you might want to go with something lighter. Dark colors show all dust/dirt, fade very quickly, and I do think tend to make small houses look smaller.

Perhaps use the lovely "Dignified" color in the front porch area, rather than as the main color? With a modern bronze colored light fixture it would I think, look super.

This could be paired with a more neutral all over-color and contrasting shutters/door?

Just some thoughts to consider... I definitely think you can move away from white, just not sure that the dark blue is the way to go!

P.S. First Star might be a good pick out of that same color strip.
