Wondering if anyone has any ideas. I like the brownish red color or green maybe.

From a practical perspective, if the sun hits the door, a dark color will cause the door to absorb a lot more heat to the extent of damaging the door. In this case a light color is essential for the longevity of the wood joinery. But when aesthetics and pragmatism conflict, aesthetics usually win out, immediately. On the long term though, reality sets in.

I assume your cabin is the first one pictured. I would add a third accent color. Pick a red color that exists in the land around you. We have burnt red trim and when for the dark green door. The other color that would look nice with the green, but isn't everyone's cup of tea is an eggplant (brown/purple) color. But I would go with a earthy red.
See attached color charts...pick one that feels like your cabin.

Thank you for all your input. Some good ideas here.
TCC, yes the first one is my cabin, although I do now have an addition to the left. As soon as I can I will post. I think I might go with the color of the door far right. Sort of a brownish red.
