What external paint colour scheme for brick/ weatherboard house

Colour is now blue paint on brick and weatherboard and thinkng of updating to

Wattyl: soft apparittion grey with white trims
or dulux white on white

Anyone know of a colour of colour scheme that would work well?
What are the go to colour schemes people have used?
due to some gutter issue there is also some wood rot in parts of the house- would polyester filler be something that could fix this issue? Anyone have any experience with wood rot

 

Wood rot? My husband is old school - he would replace the section of timber and get it to match perfectly, as though he is caressing a 150year old yacht. If that wont work, rip the section out and weld in some composite aluminium sheeting and spray it with automotive paint.
