Compare navy with a lighter blue-gray before choosing a deep body. Navy can bring siding closer in value to a dark roof, making the trim, entrance and garage treatment more noticeable within the overall composition.

Compare Naval siding with Alabaster trim while preserving roof, wood entrance, masonry. This provides deep blue with light trim for the shortlist.
Screen colors are a guide. Always test real paint.
Working with what stays
The navy garage-front example repeats the body color on the door. Compare that with a lighter garage version rather than assuming the garage must be white.
A dark body can surround an already shaded entry. Compare the door surround and porch trim at the same time, especially if you plan to keep a natural wood door.
