modernize outside

last modified: last year

I am struggling on how to update the exterior of my home . I am not keen on painting the brick . I wondered about whether I should change the siding to a dark colour. What colour should the garage and front door be ? Any suggestions?
I am so confused

I don't know if this house can go modern.

All white with the brick is a possibililty. Add color with a blue porch ceiling.

Here is a rough sketch of my concept:

Does black, white and gray feel modern? Are the windows paintable? If so go all black trim for everything.
