Mary Insana on Sep 08, 2013A picture would help but it also depends on how daring or brave you are. You may want to do something bold like a rich burnt orange to offset the dark shutters and showcase the cream siding. A turquoise or teal would look very nice too. I love the color green and our door is a medium sage green. Our vinyl siding is a natural wood grain color and texture with white shutters. I like the contrast of the green. If you go with a green go to a darker sage green and stay away from the hunter green family.Helpful Reply

Gloria Duy on Sep 10, 2013I always like to think about my favorite flowers I will be planting. I like lots of pink so I went with a sage green as an orange or red door would clash with my flowers. What color flowers do you like?Helpful Reply

Cheryl @ Artzzle on Sep 10, 2013I agree with Mary I's burnt orange suggestion. I too have cream siding, but with mid-tone gold on shutters AND door ( if I say "mustard gold" it's not the yellow but the brownish mustard LOL) I know reds or certain browns could have undertones that would make my siding look pinkish. That could happen with a green in a true grass green too, and could be too bright. But the right orange wouldn't do that and would look great with your dark brown shutters (and my gold ones :). Try visiting www.HOUZZ.com and search for exterior shots or that color combination. That's what I've been doing. Let everyone know what you decide.Helpful Reply

Carol Banks on Sep 12, 2013@Gloria Duy Good suggestion. I also have a bench on the front porch which I think would look good in a sage green to match the door. I have pink climbing roses in the front and a deep red dahlias.Helpful Reply
