I'd go Monument or similar for the gutters , the barge boards around the roof , the timber above the front door , AND the fence to the left ( okay , charcoal stain for that , but most people would guess that ) . I guess I should say that yes , I'd do the roof in surfmist or a light silvery grey -- well , I wouldn't , but I'm guessing you wouldn't like my choice of terracota , so I'll assume you are going surfmist .

That existing garage door colour is roughly halfway between surfmist and monument , and I actually think it suits , so I'd keep that , but do the 3 window sills across the front in it as well . The windows I assume are powdercoated ali , and look to have a greenish tinge -- I'd keep that , or is they are easily paintable , maybe go the 'garage door' tone for the part that is recessed .

I'd do big street numbers in stainless on the letterbox , maybe even get a signwriter to do a 'shadow' in the 'garage door colour' behind the stainless -- you could try and do it yourself , but I'm a bit OCD haha , and prefer to pay a professional $150 or so and get the lines really tight and accurate , but maybe thats just me .

That leaves just one thing -- the entrance door . Me , I'd go Sunshine Yellow , but I guess most people would go an apricot , a mid red , even a light spearmint green if leaving the windows as they are . Add something that ISN'T any way related to grey .

I like the idea of the Terrain garage door but couldn't picture it - so googled. Looks more orange in full sun - would this matter to you? Which way does your house face?

I really like the mid grey it currently is too.

Thanks for your advice, everyone!

Monument for the gutters, letterbox brick, and I'd do fascias and window frames too. Leave the garage as is, and I love Pottsy's idea of a yellow front door.
