House Happenings - The "Garage"

As the readers of our blog probably already know 
(all three of you - Hello Mom!) 
we moved into downtown Lexington this time last year. 
 See our house below...
We've done LOTS of work inside.  Outside - not so much.  
This is the view of our current "garage" 
off the alley in our back yard.  
We actually love the sweet wood building and hope to 
attempt to scrape and paint it.  
The problem is - what color?
Here's what we're starting with:
This random sagey green was apparently the previous owner's favorite color.  
Hence the abundance of green trim 
and wallpaper the entire house at the time of purchase. 
See --

So, basically our house is red brick with off-white trim and
 really dark green (almost black) shutters & front door.
For the garage we're thinking some variation of the choices below.  
Not necessarily the exact colors, but to give you an idea.  
 See the fun with photoshop below:
