Any suggestions for paint colors to brighten up my new home with a red metal roof and faded blue siding during renovations?

Hey everyone! I’m new here and looking for some ideas on paint colors for our new home. It’s currently under renovations, which my amazing husband and his dad are taking care of. They’re asking for suggestions on siding and porch paint colors, but I’m at a loss. The roof is still in good shape, so we won’t be replacing it anytime soon. However, we did tear out the porch and are putting in a new one (it’s going to be a full wrap-around with a deck). Any suggestions on color combinations that would work with a red metal roof? I really want to brighten up the place, especially since the roof is quite low. Right now, the house is a faded blue, but it was in pretty bad shape before we started renovations.
For me, I’d definitely go with bright white siding and opt for a dark stain on the wood around the house.
I’m excited to see what you all come up with! It’s going to look amazing when it’s done!
I’d paint the wood trim black and go with white on the house. Or transform the wood posts into faux stone columns for a more modern appearance.
Red and white in the woods might feel too Christmassy. How about cream/beige with white trim instead?

For the siding, I’d suggest cream color with a bright white porch and trim.
