I think a deeper neutral tone would work nicely and really make the window and door trims stand out. Also look nice with the black pendant light.

Absolutely go with the woodland grey on the gutters and fascia boards, white on the eaves only, saves a whole lot of cutting in and hides the gutter slope required for drainage. Paint the other garage door, and a new 'retro' style street lamp light fitting to illuminate your house number. Paint the house number a half or quarter shade of the woodland grey to make it easier to read, but keep it in the same colour family. Finally, a quick pressure wash of the driveway and your house will look a million bucks. For the back, keep with the woodland grey for the pergola as well, but introduce some crisp white into some occasional furniture pieces, and some soft foliage to brighten the area.

I can see you have already had some great advice and if I offered my choice from the three it would be the middle one. But in truth, I personally wouldn’t have any of them as they just remind me of those ‘real fake’ pictures where a group Thai ‘artists’ each paint a part and pass it on, banging out 100 a day. I am pleased that some Thai family is in employment, just not sure about all the middlemen. For our wedding my wife and I asked all guest to donate whatever they felt they wanted toward a painting, we already had enough kettles. In the end we had enough to buy a painting each. I originally wanted to buy a picture that may go up in value and be something of an investment for my son. The gallery owner who helped us with our choice made this point, that when you choose something for an investment its worth remembering you should enjoy looking at the picture as well. We went with that advice first. I’m sure there must plenty of places where a genuine local artist would appreciate the purchase of their work in order to make a living. My plan when we finish our rebuild here in Christchurch is to fill our walls this way. But if you ended up with an abstract those links on doing one yourself looked interesting.
