What colour to paint exterior?

I’m wanting to give my home a facelift and improve the street appeal. It was built in the early 60s as a beach house in bayside Melbourne and hasn’t really received any love since about the 80s. Eventually I will replace the front windows but for now I want to paint. The brown has to go, though I don’t want to touch the brick work. There’s not a lot to paint - the weather boards over the windows, under the eaves, fascia, metal gate and beams under the carport. I want to lighten everything up and establish a beachy look. I’m not keen on cream, beige etc. I was thinking a light grey or a very light blue. What do you think? When I replace the windows I will also replace the awnings - they’re brown too :)
