What color to paint it - my new coop struggle!

For those wondering, I am still nailing down the final color selections... I am really leaning toward the blue/peach combo. I LOVE the yellow door idea, don't get me wrong, I just can't let go of the peachy pink. Hoping to nail it down and start painting this weekend.

I'll let you know what I decide, here are a couple of the most recent inspo pics... These are from the paint "visualizer" website, not my garage or coop.

I know they are very similar, I am an overthinker. :). I also know its very girly, and not everyone's cup of tea. But I do think it will turn out nicely, there will be MORE blue, and less peach on the coop, which is hard to see in this visualization.

Anyway, stay tuned.
 
Everyone will think me crazy, and most do. I'll probably go with black again. Ours free range all day, so they are not in the coops. The only time they have remained in the coops was bitter frigid cold. Dark colors will keep the coop warmer in the winter.
As for the trim...a different matter.
 
I am also team white coop! I went with black accents/run and a purple door. I love how clean and simple it looks. I’m a sucker for color though and wish I was more brave in picking my colors and committing. I think a colorful coop will be so fun! Of your two most recent photos I like the first with the darker blue best!
 
I love our white coop! It’s cooler in our oppressive heat, too. It will 100% be a pain to keep clean, so I get why it isn’t for everyone.

More importantly for this conversation our white coop is the same color as the other outbuildings on our property and it’s the trim color on our house. Is there anything colorful on your property that you could repeat? It makes touch ups easier!

I love all the combos. The blue is beautiful!
 
That blue is so pretty and bright, and even though your current colors are more tame, the wooden doors are sooo pretty. They really look clean & classy with the white trim! Color matching is so hard to do, but you could really tie them together nicely with some wood accents on the smaller coop if you wanted to!
I loved that blue. It wasn't visible to the public since I lived in town and 6 ft fence around the whole yard so I went very bold.

Wood accents is a great idea. Those beautiful solid wood doors cost $20 each. 😍

My MIL's coops at her old house, she always encourages color! Green is her favorite. I can't find any completed pictures after this add one. But it looked wonderful with the fresh white trim.
