too many choices

When you build a house, everything needs to be picked out in advance.  Tile, lighting, flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and even the color pallet.  Right now we are working on our exterior house colors.  We want something that stands out but doesn't make too much of a statement.  I want to go bold...but bold is scary.  Bold is something that, if done right, can be amazing.  But it is also something that can be done completely wrong.  Not only do we need to pick the exterior color of the house, but also the color of the windows, trim, gutters and roof.

Option 1: Blue
I drove by this house in Seattle last spring and it just jumped out at me.  I really love the color combination they used (ignore the garage door).  I liked it so much that I had our realtor ask them for a color sample (the house was on the market at the time) and she brought me a bucket of blue paint.  What I like about the blue is the purplish tint it has to it.  I also really like the dark trim.  The bright green window trim isn't an option for us though - our windows don't come in that color.  We could do sage green, red, brown, or gray...none of which really speak to me.

Option 2: Red 
Our last house was red and I thought the color was perfect.  More of an orange-red color than a true red.  Funny thing is that for some reason, I am having a hard time choosing red for this house since our last house was red.  What does it matter?  I find this red barn appealing.  This particular color sometimes looks more orange and sometimes more red depending on the time of day, amount of sun in the sky, and the angle your looking (it's our neighbor's barn so I see it often). 

Right now, I'd say that we are leaning towards another red house...perhaps with a dark tan trim with dark brown windows.  But, like everything else house-related, I'll probably change my mind about 10 times before we decide. 

What I really want?  To see a house that I like the colors of, to knock on their door, to get the color samples, and be done with it.  Now, where IS that house?
