Hi Amy we are in the same boat as you and we are going to paint our garage door black. We are buying one from a Nationally well known company and the guy at the showroom said they add a green color to the black to reflect the heat. He gave us the paint code and it was from Sherwin Williams like that lady mentioned that spoke about that clopay company. I’d take her advice and mine since I was struggling with this also knowing that black attracts the heat. We are buying and having installed a insulated garage door called a Thermacore door. The sales rep sent us a pic with a white and black garage door and the black looks so much better. We have a gray ranch with white trim and a black front door and shutters and now that the guy mentioned the color on the black garage door being mixed with the green and reflecting the heat we are going to go that route. I hope this helps.
Did you paint your garage door black? I think it would look great. Im considering doing the same, and am surprised by the many comments against black doors on this thread.

Hi, I am in the process of building a home and I am debating on black garage doors. I was wondering what did you decide on with your house? Did the heat affect it at all?. Thanks in advance
