Here is the other side so you can get an idea of the whole house. I will be doing dark oil rubbed bronze lights above each garage bay and 2 on the side of the main entry door.

Your front door should match the tone of your interior. If you home if formal inside use a classic black green, black blue, dark red, black or the like. If your home is fun and colorful inside you can have a freer hand with the color you use. People do not remember the color of your home on the outside when they come inside but they do remember the tone you have set. So you do not want a disconnect. Make sure the door is painted in a high gloss finish, preferably alkyd as it has the highest sheen. This creates a real tactile quality- you just want to touch it, and it always looks very elegant.

I would replace the accent color with the natural clay. Why break up the front of the house?

Then paint the front door a red clay.

Can't change the accent color at this stage... It would be a costly error... And I'm not really a fan of it but my husband is and I have to work with what I have... That being said... I like a lot of neutral colors and my interior is neutral with pops of color but I prefer to layer neutrals with textures as well.. So a casual, comfortable interior... Nothing formal. However... Would black be too bold?

Black would not be too bold

Hi all...so after many discussions with my husband, I have convinced him to let me get the peaks fixed ( I hate the dessert tan color!) Should I do regular siding in consistency with the remainder of the house or should I stick with the shakes and do the natural clay color that is already on the house? I'm sticking with one color.

Had the siding changed to all Natural Clay... I like it much better! Color options now for door color? Dark Burgundy... Black... Any other suggestions?

Personally, I'd go with a glossy navy or black

Blue navy looks nice
