I keep coming back to matching wood tones instead of matching garage to siding and a painted door. I have found similar wood looks that will match its the brick that make sme think it will look bad. This looks good here, having the white trim in center, but would be too much white on my home?

Wood will never match brick so IMO the same color as the siding makes the most sense and please with some windows in the garage door too I do not think the bottom pic is in any way attracive withthe house In the one pic of the house with no shutters the siding looks gray and that garage door on the left looks green so a bit confuing for sure So this is the look I would have suggested with the brick just saying , it leaves nothing to be confused about

If your brick is the hang-up and it’s just that small amount in front then I would limewash or paint it, and have the trim and garage doors in white.

I'd also consider having only three columns and beefing them up.

NO to the two toned garage doors. I would just do garage doors the siding color, no need to emphasize them.

Patricia, the second photo is the house in progress. The siding is Certainteed Forest and the garage doors are original from the previous sage green. We squared them off and intend to "beef up" the posts. Trying to decide on entry door and garage door color/style
