Natalie H. As most doors are, my door is brown, just pretty much wood. I WOULD NEVER think about painting a bright, neon color or anything, but I am SUPER modern so I would probably paint it blue, black, purple or something.

mcd53 Wasn't the 'painting the front door' done just a few months ago?

John Whipple - By Any Design ltd. Personally I love a Black front door myself. Not a colour I know but looks sharp just the same. Something you should consider is having your front door protected from the Sun and rain. Manytimes a South facing front door needs to be painted a lighter colour or white to cut down on the thermal expansion the door goes through.

I've seen black doors literally fall apart once painted from White to Black. There are many composite doors now that are paintable and these would be a better option for the darker colours.

Food for thought before you run out and paint the white door dark red.

Tile-Stones A pop of color on the front door is so friendly and welcoming!

misskerryanne With yellow popping up everywhere in the new interior trends, it's great to see it works on the exterior too!

Jerri Holan & Associates, AIA Great article on color - wish I could make more of my clients select bold colors like these examples.

Lanie Brown I have heard the tale that painting a front door red symbolizes that the mortgage is paid off. Happy day!

bathhousewirral Wow!! good use of color. Please help me in suggesting color for a bathroom.

karenht We love on the tropics with a soft pink/coral house colour. Have thought of painting the door dark grey but seems boring. Anyone have ideas, please forward them.

jaxsue One of the things I loved about homes in Ireland was the vibrant colors of the front doors. I saw every color imaginable, and you could walk down a village street and not see a color repeated. Of course, the homes were generally neutral colors, so the brightly painted doors worked.

mgranskou Of the thousands of decisions made building my house, painting the front door tumeric yellow was one of the best. Makes me smile every time I see it. Highly recommend it - it'll pop.

mmunro57 My house is a deep red with white & green trim and I would love to paint my white front door another colour but I haven't seen any examples of what colour to use. Any suggestions would be great!

Pinky Schauer Our house is a pale grey blue color and right now our front door is a darker blue color. Like it but time to change it. What color would your suggest?

Lori Rose Hey Karenht, I'd try turquoise, aqua or lime green on the front door of your soft pink/coral house. I live in a single story home with grey vinyl shingles with white trim. I just changed my door from red to turquoise and it is absolutely stunning. In the grand scheme of things, paint is inexpensive - experiment!

debbiekmoore I have a red brick house so besides black what would work

kemantas my home is tan, the shutters are green and the door and sidelites are green. Can I go black on the door and sidelites and keep the shutters green?

wvdustbunny I have a white brick house, with black shutters, black roof, and black gutters. My front door is white. I desperately want to paint my front door a color that stands out. I have looked at crimson, bright red, teal, kelly green. My husband nixes every color I pick. I am just going to do it when he isn't home and surprise him. So, any suggestions on which way I should go.

karenht I have seen a bronze coloured door with black and white and with soft green, it was stunning, very different.

wattsup79 I have a dark brick house with a dark wood door that is inset and doesn't show up. What color should I paint the door to make it stand out more without being too obnoxious?

lisairontongue My house is green and the front door is lavender. The cellar door is aubergine. Love the look!

dtardanico In Massachusetts we have storm doors and then the front door so you can't really see the front door---I've tried red and nw they are a blue/gray color...Our house is white siding, black shutters---any suggestons to make the door "pop" from the street???

smssowo I have an old New Englander on the coast of Maine. White with light gray trim. I've wanted to find the perfect pink to watermelon color for the front door. All my taste is in my mouth. Any ideas/suggestions wicked welome. Thanks!!!

Eileen Pelletier My house is a pale yellow with white shutters and a front door that we had painted a marigold yellow, the window in the door is beveled glass, It pops, lots of compliments.

cprmktg I dont know what would work on my house. I just bought a tudor style home with grey siding with white molding around the windows. Brick chimney is exposed (see photo). Dorr is currently dark brown. What should it be? My first thought was red but wondering if there are other options.

Lynne Gerwing I have lived in my cute little 775 sq. ft. home for over 7 years - I paint my front door a different colour every year . . . this year Orange!

karenht Looks lovely

moxximom to cprmktg: I would suggest a medium blue or even burgundy or plum. Red is very nice, always, but tends to look ordinary these days! Have you considered painting the brick or window trim?

near north interiors @wattsup79. Your door would look nice in a deep yellow. your door is gorgeous but if you're looking for a pop of colour take a look at benjamin moore csp-955 hannah banana.
good luck!

ellajean I have a navy blue front door. Home is light beige stucco.

annienchandler Painting your front door a different color every year. How cool is that!!!! N.

cprmktg to @moxximom What about black? Didnt think about painting the brick. Liked the natural look. Trim in black would be nice too. hhhmmmm

Diana Sherfey We recently painted our front door yellow. Now we're trying to figure out what to do with the screen door. Currently it's green (matching the shutters on the house). I'm not crazy about the green and am considering painting the screen door yellow or white. we could also just remove the screen door, but then we'd lose the opportunity to leave the front door open. I'd appreciate feedback.

jerryalan Paint the screen door the same as the house door. It would blend right in and you'd have the look you want.
