Need help choosing paint color

I just had both my front and back doors replaced and I need ideas for paint color for them.
The trim will be painted white (soon I hope-I've been trying for a year to get it done!) and I want something bright that will pop, but not over power the house. The trouble is I have 1966 orangish brick. I thought something in the turquoise family would work and also be historically accurate. I don't like the original turquoise I painted the old door after we moved in last year though.
What ideas do you have? I prefer Behr paint but can also get Valspar.
Winter is hitting us this week so I don't know when I will be able to paint but I would like to get the color chosen so the first warm day in the future I can paint. :)

First photo is new door. I love it!
Second photo is old color on old back door. Not a fan of the color any more.
