Color On Your Doors

Typical red brick has too much orange.  True red brick is fired longer & costs more.
.
 I chose Benjamin Moore, HC-136, Waterbury Green for my trim.
.
French doors are a gift to myself this year.  It was easy to choose the color. 
.
A Front Door should not be the trim color.  Instead, I like to choose an accent color flowing from interior art, walls, or fabrics.  AND, it works with your exterior colors.

If you aren't confident choosing a Front Door color, Maria Killem posted 10 fabulous choices from Home Hardware.  Choose one!

Can't wait to finish the little stone terrace at my new French doors.

I'm smiling. My front door color isn't on the list! I love green and my inside foyer is Shagreen. And it make me smile every time I see it.

So I picked a paint two shades darker then Shagreen and painted the front door (Tansy Green) and I love it!

I'm wondering if I should paint the garage door that color. Green is a neutral, right?!

my brick is soft sandy pinkish and shutters are black; the front door is an eternal puzzle to me, it's usually been red but that's not the solution. any ideas?

Pink is easier than red-orange !

You've got several good choices and 1 is already inside your home with the art, fabric or paint.

Pink & brown are delicious together. Make a statement.

Or you could blend more with your black shutters & do a brown/black.

Or a fabulous green.

Only 1 pink brick house in my neighborhood. Love it. Rare to site one.
