We went for pewter rather than charcoal for our driveway as we already had the dark roof and thought a dark driveway might be a bit too much. In your case, I don't think Albany Cream bricks would look too bad with a light garage door. I personally find that dark grey garage doors look a bit meh. New beginnings.
