Trim color opinions please.

I am having my front porch completely redone. I am also going to have all of the trim repainted including the peak of the house in front and having a new front door put in. My home currently has light grey siding with blue green scalloped trim at the peak. The shutters, porch, and door are also a blue green color. The other trim including the porch rails are white.

So finally here is my question…I am having the porch re-done with composite/pvc materials. The decking will be a redwood color and the rails will remain white. What color would you use as your accent color for the peak, shutters, and door? I am unsure if I want to stay with a similar color or go in a completely different direction.

Any and all opinions are appreciated. TIA

My house is also light gray and I have had a hard time envisioning anything other than something in the blue family for accents. Maybe try another shade of blue?

Sounds beautiful, by the way!

My house is a split with brick on the bottom half with light grey siding on the top half. Our shutters are black... It was this way when we bought it, but I think it is a nice contrast and the combination makes for nice curb appeal. (Our front door and garage doors are white.)
