Should I keep the same colors or…?

    I'd try a darker fascia and trim, and a bit lighter for the shingles.

    Look to the brick and roof for complementary colors.

    What a sophisticated looking home. Very nice.

    First thing I would is retain a well-respected landscaper with a good sharp chain saw and trimmers. Ask someone to powerwash all the concrete surfaces too.

    Then, when you can see the house face, study the brick in strong sunlight. Choose a paint color based on your brick. Personally I would chose a much lighter color than you have now, trying to match your lightest brick. SW 7008 Alabaster? Though on second thought that may be too light. How about something like SW 7036 Accessible Beige?

    Would you consider painting the brick?
    Otherwise I’d stay in the same color family that you currently have. Maybe a shade or try darker

    Don't paint the brick. It's nice. And also, it currently is almost maintenance free- if you paint it, it becomes another siding you have to upkeep just like any other painted siding. And you can never return it to the original brick.

    However. Considering how tired the paint on the siding is.. I would suggest washing your brick before anything else. I find it amusing that both the darker green and the faded green look like good tones with the brick, but I know that it isn't supposed to be like that. So pick a green you like or a tone that complements one of the brick tones (once it's fresh and clean) for your fresh paint. Since you got the row shingle kind of thing going on, you could go crazy and do two colors for it and alternate rows, or a bunch of shades of a color and do an ombre as a purposeful fade.
