help! help! I need help with paint colors.

I want to update the siding, trim and door colors for my exterior (existing not my doing) and making color choices is proving tougher than I thought because of the odd layout (brick and siding side-by-side) and the color of the brick. The brick covers the left side and back too - it's not just brick front. I think I need to soften the white trim on the brick and shutter color but don't know how to tie it all together with a main siding color (and same color trim for both?). I'm drawn to English gardens/cottage designs. Would love to hear some of your ideas - I'm really open to any color combination as long as it's not too dramatic.

Do sage green siding for the clapboards and put some flower boxes under the windows on the upper floor on the brick side. Add a bunch of flowering shrubs to the foundation plantings, e.g. hydrangea, azalea, etc.

Thank you so much! The 2nd photo is one I saved on Pintrest because I loved the combination and even took it into the Benjamin Moore store to see if they could match the paint and they couldn't. Do you have the name/number of the paint color?

I don't, but if you click on the link that says "More Info" below the photo, you'll see which pro posted it on Houzz. You could then message them to ask whether they still have the color/brand on file. I would bet money that the Benjamin Moore store could find you a sage green in their Historic Color palette that is very similar.
