Looking for color advice for exterior door

Janet Pizaro on Aug 21, 2015The side door has nothing to do with the front door.Once the front door color is decided you can easily blend another color to tie everything in. Earlier you mentioned you hated brown Iam assuming your staying with that.Helpful Reply

Polly Zieper on Aug 21, 2015I agree,I spend money if something is impractical or a nuisance.If I need color,I add color, not change what's there.If your door is too boring for you, why not add a wreath , flag, or sign to it to add color?Helpful Reply

Molly Ferguson on Aug 21, 2015I think a nice warm terra cotta orange could look good as well and blend nicely with the brown and tan tones.Helpful Reply

Dottie on Aug 22, 2015I would paint it a red color and add a door mat and planter with something green in it to soften the brick and concrete.Helpful Reply

Constance Marshall on Aug 22, 2015I am like everyone else. Red is your best bet. The mail box and light are a big issue. The light needs a bit more drama and the mailbox needs replaced or at least spray painted in the family of your new light. Black is always nice. Change your numbers to black also or if you can find something similar to the dark brown of your trim that would be good. I agree a planter by the door would be nice. Something that you can change out seasonally. if your side door can be seen as you walk up to the house make the storm door the same.Helpful Reply

Me on Aug 22, 2015whatever color you go with for doors, paint the main door and storm door the same color. That keeps things from being busy, and adds strength.Helpful Reply

Nancy J on Aug 22, 2015If you go to SherwinWilliams website, there is a virtual paint color finder, upload this picture and it will help you visualize what the new doors with the colors would look likeHelpful Reply

Cissy on Aug 22, 2015I would suggest you go to Hobby Lobby, Micheals, or some other craft store and buy bottles of craft paints in colors you think might work and then paint chips the size of envelopes and hold them in a fan with the roof shingle and the siding and you will soon see which ones work best. I would suggest all outside doors that show from the street be the same. These paints cost 1.00 a bottle and they can give you some quick answers.Helpful Reply

M'sMammy on Aug 22, 2015Go with something that will pop! I'm not sure because I don't see the photo clearly, but bright yellow, lime green. Red is good luck you know. Maybe black? Or you can search online for "colors for exterior house doors".Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Aug 24, 2015Can't tell from pic on my computer if your trim is brown or black. I'd spray the mailbox with a metal paint to spruce it up. With red brick and tans or black, I would consider a blue shade for doors to pop.Helpful Reply
