I recently bought a house out the woods! It was built in the 70s and needs a lot of work inside and out. While I'm focusing on the inside, I'm trying to plan exterior updates. Low hanging fruit is obviously paint, clean the metal roof, a new door, and landscaping. Long term plans are to replace the windows or potentially update the siding.
The exterior of the house is T1-11. So, I don't need to worry about it warping if painted it dark color. The windows are aluminum; with the exception of one (second from the left) that we just replaced while renovating the bathroom.
Current exterior is #1. These are some of the color options I'm considering. Are they too trendy? Are there downsides I might be overlooking? Really open to opinions!

Dark one. It’s the only way,
I love the last one !
I like the white – it pops with that door color imo, also the white makes it look bigger
Last one! I have a dark blue house with a coral front door and I love the combo. It makes me happy every time I come home.
I like the green, but wouldn’t use the door color as window trim. Instead, I would use a darker shade of that green as window trim, and keep the bright door.
The green is nice, but paint the window/door trim a gray that matches the aluminum window color.
r/ExteriorDesign is a good place to run this by, too.
