Are you wondering about what color to choose? You could go with a contrasting color like a dark blue, or black. What color is your trim? Maybe use that as your inspiration.
White will look wonderful against the red brick. Clean the door well, degloss if necessary and paint with the appropriate paint. If it was originally painted with an oil base use that again or latex again. They will peel if the opposite product is used.
Paint!! Front doors should make a statement!!
Visual clues on pinterest and Houzz can assist in your color decision. I have a neighbor with a red brick ranch with medium blue turquoise door and shutters that makes me smile! Its stunning, especially being a waterfront location.
