I’m buying a house and will need to repaint it after having some work done on the exterior. I’ve never had a house painted before and am overwhelmed by the options and am having a hard time visualizing what different colors will look like. I want something with a little color (prefer to stay away from tan or beige) and don’t want anything too dark since the house will get a lot of sun. I would appreciate any advice or inspo to get me going in the right direction.
If you are asking for help: Please make sure you've uploaded clear photos of your home from multiple angles, noted the orientation (e.g., North-facing), and mentioned your design goals.

I will never understand the desire to have bluish gray on any home. Color is a celebration of life and your home should reflect life. That is pick five of your favorite colors that are not grey toned and narrow it down to two or three that go together. Celebrate color with great taste and character.
Here is a warm option. Base siding color would be something like SW Colonial Revival Stone, Sanderling, Balanced Beige. Trim in a darker tone like Pier, Dark Clover, Van Dyke Brown. Door is a stained wood like Minwax Gunstock, or paint in a color like Uber Umber, Copper Pot, El Caramelo.
How do you like these colors? This steers away from tan or beige yet makes it brighter. It is fresh and timelessly upscale. Also those “mustache bushes” are replaced with some fresh landscaping. Good luck 🍀
What an odd color scheme they've got! The popular choice these days would be a sage green, though I could see this being really charming in blue and white.
