Here are the options we’re considering

Back of house

I like the lighter first picture you posted of your color choices, however, I think the boards should be another color. Not all one color. I like the way it is done now, but, not particularly that yellowy color it is now. Because the darker boards now, match the roof quite well, I would keep them the same color they are . A nice creamy white color for the house body.

I agree that the boards need to be a different color and the current color is off. Youll have to be careful if you're not replacing the roof.

We’re doing all one color- we do not like the two toned color scheme. It a very dated look.

I prefer the darker but dont paint the brick.

I would consider doing the front center dark and then light on each end. In the back do all light with deck the dark shade.

I remember sketching this house that you posted some time ago for exterior paint ideas. You had received good suggestions, what happened to your original post?

Either the dark or light, both are okay. But you’re just trading one dated look in for another.

I much prefer the lighter (really, really dislike the darker) but agree not to paint the brick- that's just making a rod for your own back as it won't last and will get all peely and shabby looking after a fairly short time.

I would probably paint the eaves and window frames/door frames in a contrast colour- cadet blue maybe?

Wow, I actually really like both options and don’t think you can really go wrong with either. 🤎🤍🖤
So pretty!!
