Finally found a picture to share. See how my grey house just blends in...blah blah blah. The current door color is ?grey/teal? - kinda like a wannabe oxidized copper. Not attractive. les917: thank you very much for your response. Interesting about 2 different color doors. Now that you can see the house, do you still think I need 2 different colors to denote which is which? Because our walk-way to the front door is not very defined/welcoming, not many people use the front door. I thought about a deep rich blue, but should I find the matching shutters now? Really, by the time we do get the shutters, the front doors would need to be repainted anyway. Any tips on what paint to use? Is it any different from say painting a wall or a piece of furniture? Do I need to poly it or whatever to protect it from the rain/snow? again, thank you.

You might try posting this on the Home Decorating forum. I think a red door and darker gray would look great on your house.

The yellow is pretty. Another option that works well with the gray and black is a raspberry color like SW Cerise. A dusty plum can be pretty as well. This is SW Plum Dandy.

absolutely no shutters. Why muddle up the look of the exterior when he already has 2 siding colors, with 2 diff siding materials, brick, white trim and a charcoal/greenish roof? here. does this look good? (give me a pic straight on and I'll photoshop something better, but it still won't look good! for the front door, He might try looking for a deep olive green with some bronze undertones Like this color on the left replacing the bright bench w/a wood verision, and getting some numbers clearly displayed. you'll have to enlarge this to see everything He could always paint that white one, add some colorful outdoor pillows. I also like all of these wood and copper accents, along w/these paint colors, address plaque, and even a slight limewash on the brick I know you said he doesn't want to paint. but a very light limewash w/Romabio would give this similar effect. (AND, if will completely wash off within 72 hours if he doesn't like it. there is no upkeep w/this, it's natural liime and will patina w/time. Just a suggestion) could also go darker w/the Urbane Bronze, Iron Ore, or one of those dark bronze/black tones Or, maybe you want to go w/a brick color front door. maybe a door w/some lites in them rather than solid this door style might be nice. you could even have smaller glass panels.
