I love the gray/ green with the brick and those shutters have to go. This is my favorite much like the 2nd one above for color Then look at the landscaping , IMO hose 2 evergreens need to go too big there and they overpower the nice walkway to the front door and the black planter placement is a turn off for a welcoming walkway.

Thank you both so much for the advice! I will take down the shutters!

I’m really leaning towards the darker color — like Sherwin-Williams charcoal blue or cyberspace. I’m not sure if we need an accent color, where it would go and how much lighter or darker that color should be?

I think either of those 2 S.W. colors could work or a very dark muted purple could also work.

I agree, take off the shutters.

I think the dark gray would be stunning. Make sure it is a gray with blue undertones to work with your roof.

A cream would also look good.

I'm not a pro. The front view of the house is a lot of roof, and a lot of brick. If you remove the shutters, you have even more brick, and the windows will look small for the space. It should be easy enough to put back on if you don't like the look without shutters.

I think we try to remove the shutters — I’m thinking prob dark gray (cyberspace) for all the trim and web gray for the rest

I would keep some of the shutters and paint them black. I posted a few pictures with charcoal and black looks gorgeous! Remove the shutters on the largest windows but keep the others I like the contrast it gives and they fit the windows. Remove the extra bracing if possible on the porch posts, remove the hedge at the porch edge it is making the porch claustrophobic! A new door if possible to update. Paint new entry door and garage doors black add new more modern lighting. House has nice potential for updating. Beautiful house!

Just follow the rules in this short article concerning shutters. https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/residential-architecture-101-shutters/

I have design drawings — if you could say which you like best.

Or charcoal blue
