Personally, I would consider getting rid of the front door suggested by the architect - it looks more like a back door and really does nothing for the potential kerb appeal of the new property. I would look at getting a double front door, possibly with some glass in to let in light (I am presuming that is what the window is for - or is that a WC?).

As for colours for front door and garage door, it will depend on how you are finishing the exterior of the house and the style of the windows upstairs. For some inspiration do an internet search on "modern garage doors" and look at the images. Some great ideas on garage doors, front doors and exterior finishes.

I agree with you, if you want the garage to blend in, then it needs to match in with the brickwork, or maybe it's surroundings, ie the planting. So a beige, beige/ green, sage etc I can't blow the pic up enough to see the windows and soffits / fascia's. Looks like they're a stone colour, so maybe match to that. I don't think your front door needs to match everything if you do want a bit of colour. It's a personal thing isn't it, so whatever, you like that would go well with the rest of it, a grey would work with the beige / sage/ greens etc.

My favourite colour is red, but, with a garage door, it gets a lot of battering from our changeable weather. Strong sunlight will fade red and rain, frost and snow will degrade the colour too. The dark blue looks lovely. If you think the blue garage door is a bit much how about a blue front door and white garage door? You can't go wrong with teal blue. Look at paint colours for old houses, you might find something you like. Charcoal grey is fashionable now. I've seen a reddish purple garage and door recently and it looks pretty smart. I didn't get a photo though!
