Since the trim is fairly minimal you could go bold with a medium bright green like the little shrubs in front...or a Bergundy jewel tone to coordinate with the brown door...there is also an opportunity to add some excitement to the curb appeal with an unexpected and less traditional lime green shade or even periwinkle

I think your trim looks good in the color it is now, a creamy off white. Would brighten up the front door tho...perhaps a bright shade of green. Nice house!

Your house looks elegant with its present colors. You could lighten the front door, but I think bright colors would cheapen the look of your classic house. Some brightly colored flowers and some taller shrubs strategically positioned would enhance curb appeal.

Very nice house! The trim color looks nice as is for the style of your home. Definitely a lively door color and additional plants would add curb appeal. The shrubs you currently have will fill in a bit more, but adding some height and color with flowers, a Japanese maple or crepe myrtle would be nice if you live in an appropriate region for those plants.

Thanks all main reason I'm getting it re-done is back of house was thinking timberbark Siding but was perplexed by front thought about doing dark around windows. Here is back

Not clear about how adding timberbark siding in back affects trim color change in front...?

I have to have trim that goes all the way around house. Only certain trim looks good with certain siding. originally thought about painting Windows dark espresso khaki trim

Perhaps you can post a pic of the proposed new siding...

Do you plan on keeping the vertical trim on the back?

I think a dark brown would look nice with your roof and stone, and it would give some drama to the windows.

A full pic of the back of the house would enlighten as well....to get an idea how much influence the deck color has on the overall picture

In your pics the roof looks much darker in the photo of the back of the house...which is the most accurate color ?..

Lovely home! I suggest focusing on your landscaping. Invest in some larger trees adding height, color, texture and interest, Crepe Myrtle has a beautiful trunk that is stunning when up lit. Hire a pro who's work you've seen. I think you can expand on what you already have. A curved stone walk that engages more of the front yard would also add a lot of charm. Continue walk material onto your front steps and landing. Slate could be very pretty. For pops of color, start with large planters on each side of door. Perhaps in a green or blue tone. Perhaps a piece of garden statuary as well . Next step, if you are still wanting more color, would be to paint your font door. Enjoy!
