Just me , but I'd start at the front , and just take the 'small steps' approach . The basics look well done . I'd go for repainting the front door in a 'popping' bright colour ( a bright red seems logical to me , as it would tie in with the 'plum' colour around the guttering ) , and see how that looks . The door does have the advantage and disadvantage that it is in the shadow most of the time , so it needs to be bright to be noticed , but you'd have to get the colour right . If that worked , I'd then be inclined to do the front and side window surrounds in the same colour as the front door , but initially only 30mm wide ( use making tape ) . The ones along the front and rear may look okay with the whole 80-100mm board painted , but I suspect the side windows would look overdone and out of character , So start smaller , stand back , wait a month , and modify if need be . Another thing , the 2 concrete 'bases' in front of the front door may get an uplift by doing just them ( they look like maybe 800mm tall by 300mm wide ? ) in the plum colour of the guttering -- ties the top and the entry together ? The pillars above them and across the front of the house , I'd leave as they are .

How about Dulux Lexicon for the window trims, Dulux Domino for the garage doors, gutterings and facsia. Exterior walls Dulux Flooded Gum. Either use domino or lexicon for the balustrades - depending if you want whites to highlight or darks to recede them as features.

Timber and brick house built in the 70’s. All exterior trims originally painted Mission Brown plus colorbond on garage doors. Updated in the 90’s repainted with lighter sand colour to match bricks. Another paint job required for 2018... what paint colour would suit modern ideas? Fascias have been replaced and undercoated. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks

Its a beautiful paint job (credit to the painter!) and true heritage colours - but... although Im a true aussie I confess I have always disliked this particular heritage combo of the red/green/cream combination, combined with all the elaborate trims and fretwork is just too busy (sorry to anyone who thinks this is sacrilege) and this tone of cream tends to always look dirty even when freshly painted. You are the one who lives there so you should love it, not tolerate it! However please dont go with the grey/white combination - leave this for new builds that are trying to pretend to be heritage homes! And too dark a colour as the main wall colour may end up looking like the Adams Family home You could just paint over the maroon with a darker tone of the same green but personally I like the sage/off white combination on your pinterest board, it is a soft combination and would compliment the fretwork beautifully. Ive always felt the prettiest heritage homes are the ones that stick with a colour scheme that uses various tones from the one colour group and puts the lightest tone on the fretwork and windows, like the images below - the three different colours on your home is just too much for me!
