Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Suggestions to replace Euonymus, 1 by StPaulPeg

I'm thinking I should get rid of the three euonymus alatus in front of my house, and I'd appreciate suggestions for their replacement. They are all in mostly shade, with just a little afternoon sun (the far plant in the picture is the shadiest, and the nearest, the sunniest). I'm looking for something that would look nice against the dark bricks in fall (maybe yellow or light orange) with some architectural interest in winter. This side of the house gets a fair amount of wind in winter, so zone pushing would not be wise. An alternative would be to keep the euonymus and prune them back next spring.

What do you think? Replace or prune? Put in three of the same or different plants?

Thanks, Peg
