Yay! I love it when @cse1960 agrees with me. I feel so validated and wise! And I would have suggested red for the door, but I think with the brick it won't pop as much.
Red with brick can work but it's a case by case basis. I think a dark peacock green-blue would be lovely, although the curtains look greenish so I'm not sure.
That's where I was going, too. But I'm laughing at how invested I am in other people's front doors (@tambcat) when this is what mine looks like. That dark line down the center is a long strip of white paint peeling off, showing the previous maroon. So if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.
Dated? It's classic. All of these khaki houses are the ones that are going to look dated in 20 years.
I think my opinion of it looking dated is due to seeing too many places with old, steel white siding. I so hate how old white siding looks. I much prefer the new kinds that are available.
