Paint the House body a darker gray... gray is trendy right now but it has a timeless quality... I work for a Benjamin Moore paint store and do ext color consults there so the colors i will suggest are BM. Look at these images that show light gray roofs with darker gray bodies for an idea (not your style of house, but you'll get the idea): http://0.tqn.com/d/create/1/0/e/h/2/-/shakehouse.jpg and http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/2010/07/house-colors-gray-white-green-or-black.html (images 4 and 5)
Look at Ben Moore colors a bout 2 shades darker then your roof like: 1483 cos cob stonewall or 1475 gray stone or for bolder hc-167 amhurst gray...
then for the trim you can buck tradition and move more into your mod style with a great earthy yellow green like baby turtle 515 or 2149-40 timothy straw (so fresh!) or the lighter hc-96 richmond gray...
as for the door depends on the style...looks like the storm door is more prominent now so since it is white it will pop off the gray anyhow... but with out seeing it maybe an earthen red tone like 1301 spanish red or 1302 sweet rosey brown... or keep it more simple and opt for a very deep blue-green black like 1652 navy masterpiece or a charcoal 2121-10 aptly named gray...
what ever you choose stay present to your indoor and outdoor spaces so there is a feeling of harmony... Good luck would love to know how you choose and see afters! That's the best part of my job when we go out! :)
