What are the sidelights? Are you referring to the white around the small windows around the front door?

I'd do a cream with navy shutters and door. You can keep the quoins the same color --- I'm personally not fond of them --- or a shade or two darker.

Yes, they are the white around the door

@sigrid - the quions at that squares with accent coloring? Yeah I'm not too happy with those either. Thought about painting same as main exterior but will look odd.

These are some color samples I picked up from Sherwin Williams. The dark colors I thought for the shutters and door as well perhaps the garage door. Light colors for main body and mid tones for the accent colors. But I'm open to light colors all around. Do any of these stand out to you for the main color and accent?

Accessible Beige

Shoji White

Balanced Beige

Gray Area

Amazing Gray

Dovetail

Studio Clay

Keystone Gray

Cyberspace

Black Fox

Iron Ore

Tricorn Black

FYI Shoji White can look a little pink at times.

I think a SW Sage, Evergreen Fog or Dried Thyme would look good with your black shutters or a grey blue like SW Blustery Sky .

Take a look at Sherwin Williams Alabaster, and SW Creamy. Both would work nicely

Thank you, will be going over to SW tomorrow to grab a few samples of the recommended colors.

I would go with sophisticated contrast.

Body: Mid-tone warm gray (SW Dorian Gray or BM Chelsea Gray)

Trim: White with a touch of warmth (White Dove)

Shutters & Door: Black (matte or satin)

Garage Door: Body color (so it blends in and doesn’t dominate)

➡ Very modern and elegant with subtle contrast, letting the shutters and door shine

Squares (the raised stucco details on each side of the upper window) are decorative elements, and right now they stand out more than they need to. So I would blend them with body.

To make those side squares around the upper window pop, they should be painted in the same trim color (the soft white) instead of blending with the body color. That way they’ll tie into the window frames, garage trim, and roofline accents.

@celery Thanks for providing a visual! Which Gray is that? Dorian or Chelsea? I was thinking a shade lighter to lighten up the house a bit since mine is a bit dark right now. I'm not a big fan of those accent squares but I can always paint them away myself and try it both ways.

Chelsea Gray BM

I took Chelsea Gray and picked a lighter tone along with your image and generated these two variations....what do you think?

I think I like your second and fourth photos. I used your second photo and added a little color below. My lines are not nearly as pristine but you get the gist =) Best of luck with your color search! I need to do these trials on my house now =)

BM Black Pepper

BM Smokestack Grey

BM Rosepine

BM High Park

I would not highlighting squares, look dated for me. I would go for garage door with the same color as body, so it would not dominate so much. The 3d color in your images looks pretty, no squares please!
