What colour shall we paint our house?

Is anyone good with colours? We are going to repaint our house.

London Victorian terrace. It has been painted already an awful creamy yellow colour and is filthy and needs doing again.

We will do around the door and the windows white. We have a charcoal grey front door and gate.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

We are buying a victorian semi in London. ATM it is brick finish but most of the other houses in the road are terraced. Most are painted yellows/creams/pastels with white quions up the dividing wall.
we have already bought F&B lulworth blue to paint our house in the spring. looks really fresh and summery.

I like quite dark colours for victorian masonry, such as Portland Stone or Rolling Fog on this link

I think they look much smarter than white or off white and are a good contrast to white woodwork.

Thanks both.

Pannacotta - I love those colours. Not sure about the price though. we will hopefuly be moving next year and need to get it ready to sell, so don't want to spend ££££.

We were thinking about something like this
