Outdoor paint help!

We've done landscaping and planting this year but still have a relatively small patio area. Because it is narrow I bought a bierkeller bench and table set which is very orangey (we're also not sure we love it so in some ways I've nothing to lose by painting it).
In addition to which someone suggested that the outhouse doors would look better in a softer colour. However, I don't think we'd paint the Guttering and downpipe so would that look odd?
In essence my questions are:
Would you paint the bench and table set?
Would you paint the outhouse door?
What colour(s)
Should they be the same or different?
I'm thinking that they should be similar but different. (The tablecloth is temporary, again something in softer colours would be nice I think)

What colour is the outhouse door?

Sorry, the outhouse doors are currently black gloss (there's a small one behind the bbq in the picture plus a further 3)

Black gloss is smart. I though I could see a small door, but it just looked dark.
I would leave the doors until they need painting.
I have a shed and it is quite overbearing. I have painted it a few colours over the years. It's a light greenish colour now (whatever was reduced in Wilko) and it's the nicest colour it's been. I painted a garden wall off-white as it was not the same colour as the brick in the house and that made the garden lighter.
Light colours on furniture tend to be high maintenance - but muted F&B colours can look good.
