What paint colors would complement white windows and trim for our house and porch, considering a hot tub and contrasting trim preferences?

We’re getting new white windows for the house. My husband wants white trim, but I’m considering a contrasting color. Any suggestions for paint colors that would go well with white windows and trim? I’m thinking of adding a hot tub to the left of the back porch. Do you have any ideas on what color to paint the house and porch? Is there an app or visual aid you recommend for this? I’d appreciate your input!
Are you planning to replace all the windows? It seems like all the inserts and casing are brown. If you’re keeping the house color the same, I think the darker windows match the siding well. For the front of the house, consider changing the front door color for a pop of color – maybe a rich yellow or even a blue like the cushions in the back, which look great against the browns. Also, before adding the hot tub, power-wash the deck and paint it a darker shade to match the brown windows. Add an indoor/outdoor rug with blues and yellows, and create a seating area to enjoy the outdoor space. It might be a good idea to move the grill away from the deck, about 5 feet from the house, and add stones to create a separate grilling area. You might need to add steps on the side of the deck to comply with municipal codes and avoid a tripping hazard near the grill.
Those are fantastic ideas! Since we’re getting all white windows, we’ll have to change the house paint color too.
White windows would work well with the current siding color since your garage door is white and it complements the look.
