      I think that I would go with a brown to match your siding. The red shingles will be more prominent then.

      I would use a Cedar color sofit to match the color of your siding. Otherwise, use the same color of your doorframes and windowframes if they are a different color from your Cedar siding.

      My log cabin has forest green trim with barnred doors…but my roof blends with the logs….I agree that contrast is nice BUT the monochromatic lookis popular these days. I believe that behr.com has a way to see what different color combos look like at their site.

      Either match it to your window frames, or to your eave metal on the roof.
