HELP with exterior paint color on a daggy 80s brick house

This was an “old ladies and dated” little place. It had apricot carpet and lots of scrolly things and florals throughout.

I’ve renovated, internalising a garage ( which after landscaping will end up with a courtyard either side of big old doors that open completely into outside space.
and I’ve been quite bold and gone full black cabinetry and dolomite stone (called super white - which is grey).

Now for outside.

I HATE HATE HATE the orange bricks and terra cotta tiles. The bricks have a lot of dimension ( they are not flat faced)

I was thinking of painting the bricks Resene hear reflecting …. dark … black or charcoal or grey. And what about the roof tiles?

OR (although a lot more expensive) a heavy dimension stucco render in grey?

or do I go bit bland and go white and spray the roof black?

OR WHAT???

I’d love to hear your thoughts.
