I am the most indecisive person there is, so choosing new paint colors is driving me nuts. I am leaving stucco as is but would like to paint all the wood trim and under the eves (soffits)  a new color, also paint all the wood beams and the balcony in front. I am thinking of going with a dark burgundy color lowes sells valspar Red Garnet for the wood eves, trying to figure out if I should paint the balcony same color or stay with a new brighter white and keep it simple. Pictures attached... Any and all advice is welcome!

   Here is the color I am thinking of using for all the wood trim and under the trim, the little brick wall in front and possibly the balcony.... Would it be too much color?

welcome...when you go with the deep AND vibrant colors a little goes a long ways....you have several fixed colors, your roof, your vinyl windows, and by choice the stucco,,,if you go with the garnet, i would definitely paint the railing black...your stucco, if it were darker, i would say that the garnet may have possibilities, ....i would be concerned about contrast,,,,   my advice, buy a quart and do a mockup, only then will you know if its going to work......good luck
I don't do this for a hobby and I'm damn sure I don't need the practice
