A very soft aqua, a deep red, yellow, bright aqua, or teal. I agree about staying away from the true colors. Pick several colors and shades of those colors. Get samples and paint white poster board. Put these up against your siding. This will help you decide on a color you really like. It is worth it to spend a little time and buy some samples. Doors are difficult to paint and you will probably keep this color for several years, so put in the effort before you paint so that you don't regret your decision after you paint. Trust your instincts and you'll do fine.
Paint it a reddish brown, then swipe some stain on it to achieve a beautiful wooden looking door. Or black. Elegant classic but not a cheesy looking color.
I was wondering if you could help me with something -- I have an entirely oak kitchen. I know it's the rage now to paint or gel stain cabinets. I've been considering ...

I have a wooden screen door painted black to match the trim. The front door is barn red but it sort of disappears behind the screen door. Should they match?
Something that would draw the eye to the door. Maybe a nice contrasting color like red.
A rich darker green with a bluish tint?
A dark cranberry?
A bright burnt orange?
Dark charcoal gray?
I would avoid true colors (ie. bright red) and use secondary or even tertiary colors.
Thanks

If you siding is grey-like, I think a deep teal or aqua would look great.

A soft pink. Or glossy black.
