I actually like the trim painted the shutter color better than the way it is now, so my advice is to just get it done. :-)

Thanks! thoughts on doing the garage too or just the trim?

What color are your shutters? I think I like #3 but if you’re not sure start with just doing #2 & go from there depending upon how you feel about it.

I like the light trims and garage door. I'd lighten the front door and the shutters too.

A lighter door will bring it out of the shadows.

Very dark trim rose in fashion a few years ago. It's still trendy in my area. It looks best if the dark paint isn't off the shelf dead black, but is custom chosen to coordinate with the warm brown tones used elsewhere on the house. The garage door looks better in the current light color.

I feel the dark trim/garage door overwhelms the house. They are not a feature and the less prominent the better.

If open to removing the shutters, painting the garage door a color that blends into the brick a better, (maybe a bit more grey) and lightening the front door, will be much nicer than going dark.

I agree the dark color gives the garage even more prominence, not a good thing. As suggested, lighting up the entrance will help give it more focus. That’s where you want eyes to go.

IMO the white window is not good , the garge the darkest color in the brick and do the stone part in siding .and add windows to the garage door and change that window to dark

All trim painted the color of the roof which is dominate from curb. In this inspiration photo, do something with the front facing garage. Add a wood tone pergola and, if in the budget, replace with a a wood front door. No shutter! Paint the window and the muntins the trim color.
