You’re an expert color designer who’s skilled at bringing the best out of any home with fresh and contemporary color scheme ideas. Leaving the brick as is on this home, repaint the dark brown trim and garage doors with a more modern set of gray blue or green color choices that blend in well.

Here are modern, architect-approved color scheme options that will elevate this home while keeping the warm tan brick unchanged. Each palette includes a garage door color, trim/fascia color, and an optional accent for the front door or small features.

I’ll give you gray-blue, blue-green, and earthy green options—each chosen to harmonize with the brick’s warmth and the surrounding lush greenery.

✅ Option 1 — Smoky Gray-Blue (Most Contemporary + Universally Flattering)

Garage doors: Sherwin-Williams “Slate Tile” (SW 7624) — a rich gray-blue that adds depth without overwhelming the brick.

Trim & Fascia: Sherwin-Williams “Pewter Cast” (SW 7673) — soft, modern, and slightly warm to bridge the blue and the tan brick.

Optional Accent: Sherwin-Williams “Mineral Gray” (SW 2740) or a matte black for the front door.

Why it works: The cool gray-blue updates the exterior instantly and pairs beautifully with the sky and the green landscape without looking cold against the brick.

✅ Option 2 — Dusty Blue-Green / Stormy Teal (Sophisticated + Natural)

Garage doors: Benjamin Moore “Knoxville Gray” (HC-160) — a deep blue-green with tons of character.

Trim & Fascia: Benjamin Moore “Van Courtland Blue” (HC-145) or “Quiet Moments” (1563) for a softer, airy contrast.

Optional Accent: Brightened front door in “Palladian Blue” (HC-144).

Why it works: This palette feels organic and connected to the surrounding trees—almost coastal yet still earthy. The darker teal on the garage gives the façade weight and modernity.

✅ Option 3 — Soft Sage & Deep Olive (Minimalist Modern + Warm-Natured)

Garage doors: Sherwin-Williams “Dried Thyme” (SW 6186) — deep sage-olive, understated but sophisticated.

Trim & Fascia: Sherwin-Williams “Clary Sage” (SW 6178) or “Anew Gray” (SW 7030) if you want a more neutral, greige-based trim.

Optional Accent: Charcoal front door in SW “Iron Ore” (7069).

Why it works: Olive/green tones harmonize beautifully with tan brick and the yard’s greenery. This gives the home a modern “California natural modern” style.

✅ Option 4 — Moody Charcoal with Blue Undertones (Minimal + Luxurious)

Garage doors: Benjamin Moore “Wrought Iron” (2124-10) — charcoal with a subtle blue note.

Trim & Fascia: Benjamin Moore “Kendall Charcoal” (HC-166) or “Coventry Gray” (HC-169) for a lighter look.

Optional Accent: Muted blue front door such as “Boothbay Gray” (HC-165).

Why it works: If you want something bolder and very high-end, this near-black blue charcoal makes the brick look intentional, warm, and architectural.

⭐ My personal top recommendation for this particular home:

Option 1: Slate Tile doors + Pewter Cast trim. It will:

• modernize the brown brick instantly
• blend into the trees and sky
• pair beautifully with the home’s shape and roofline
• feel high-end without going too dark
