Exterior Front Door Color for a Red Brick Front Colonial House?

What color is your trim, shutters, and shingles? There’s a rule of thumb to only introduce no more than 3 colors on the facade.

We used Benjamin Moore Mysterious, a very dark blue. We painted a shingle addition and the shed in the same color. It worked well because or brick is a little more orange than brick. When we moved in the door and trim were an ugly beige, that pretty much matched the mortar. Avoid that.

Purple. Looks amazing with a red brick colonial.

This. People always forget to pay attention to the roof color. For a black door, you'll probably want a darker color shingle.

black-blue in high gloss is very old money but the rest of your facade should also look old school traditional

my red brick is painted light blue-green and match my shutters.

when picking paint colors know that they will look a lot lighter outdoors

You need to consider an accent color in addition to the red brick. Do you have an accent color= painted shutters or dormers or painted trim?

If accent color is neutral, go with a green/blue or pale yellow for the door.

NP also getting bids to replace front door. This is the color we're looking at for our door (for a red brick rambler). But I want my door to have some pop.
