What color should I paint my front door?

[Anonymous]

Our house is a side-hall Colonial painted white with black shutters. The front door is currently red, but I'm thinking of changing it up. I like bright colors. I'm thinking about a blue-green color. Is that crazy? Any suggestions?

OP, what are the house and door colors of the 10 houses closest to you.

I just painted mine a dark teal! So yes, blue-green. I love it. A word of advice I got from the guy at the paint store: pick one shade down from the one you think you want. I actually think I should have gone with two down, which is his recommendation. But yeah, love it.

Most of the houses on my street are red brick with either brown or black doors. There is one house a few doors down with a beautiful purple door, but you can't see that door and my door at the same time.

What was the paint color you used?

Red, unless you are non-Christian, yellow, blue or purple.

It's already red. What does religion have to do with it?

Red is a classic but I love the idea of a deep blue-green. That's probably my favorite color ever. I can't say that I've seen it in practice on a front door though. Maybe do a search on Houzz for photos?

Before I read your post I was going to suggest red. Love red! Would you paint it a different shade of red? (Brick, for example?)

Love purple

I have seen some really deep purple (eggplant) doors that look good on the white brick. I think the deep blue green would work, too.

Bright yellow- love it.

I've seen bright sunny yellow and bright olive-ish green that looked really nice.
