Exterior Colors Needed
I recently bought this home. The photo is the original listing photo. It is an 90 year old Acadian Cottage in southern Louisiana. Improvements in process are 8 ft tall 6 panes over 9 period accurate windows (see attached photo) with shutters. I plan on removing the railing and replacing the front door with a double arched cypress door (see photo). The top two arched panels will glass. It will be finished in a clear spar marine satin varnish. I will but old chicago brick steps with walkway leading to sidewalk. There will also be a gas lantern to the left of the front door. The colums will be beefed up to be wider and deeper. I prefer neutral colors, though I would be open to all suggestions. Thank you for your help in advance.

Here's a photo of one with colors. Even though you want neutrals, I thought you'd appreciate what the owners did here.
Here are some colors I would consider: Alexandria Beige HC-77 Paint, Brandon Beige 977 by Benjamin Moore, Benjamin Moore Rockport Gray and Yorkshire Tan HC-23.
I wonder, can you go without railings? I think code might require railings, since the porch looks like its over 30" from the ground.

White and Navy are some of my favorites.
