I like the Sundried Tomato! I'd plant some rusty colored shrubs to tie it together.

Vivid yellow- based green! Or just a rich yellow. But there are two houses near me (one gray, one navy) that have citron doors and they look smashing.

If that's too bold, an aqua would be lovely too.

Personally, I would leave the door and paint the shutters. Probably white but black might be interesting too

I think a lemon yellow would look great! Also like bright green. Red would be a bit safer. I have to say it looks good in black too but I would play with color.

Please describe the color of your house and shutters. To me it looks like a plummy brown with dark teal shutters. I like the doors how they are now. It is the shutter color I dislike.

I just love the color combo of your house! the brown, black and white is one of my favorites for exteriors. I think I'd be inclined to paint the door black, add brass kick plates to the bottoms, a brass knocker and other hardware, and get color from planters and flowers and such.

Congrats on your new house! I think your house has a more of a traditional feeling, with the brick and roofline, and the bright, fun front door colors are probably more suited to a different style.

I think the shutters are very narrow- the window trim is nearly as wide as the shutters. I think I'd either paint the shutters white to match the trim, or take them off.

For the front door-- I think you could do red, but more of a wine/burgundy color instead of the more orange reds in your pics. You could also try a high gloss navy blue.

I really like your house with the shutters matching the door and I like them in black. It is a very straight forward look, sophisticated and elegant. Its kind of the Audrey Hepburn of house looks :)

I think you want color, but I would get it in a different way. Perhaps replace the stone bench, with a colorful more interesting bench, add some colorful planters

I thought the door was wood stain. If you want a sophisticated look, I'd keep it black but dress it up with the kick plates, knocker, etc.

If you want a more casual, cottage type of feel and look, I'd go with a color. Like jlc's suggestion of a wine color. I like the Fern as well since it compliments the earthy, naturalness of the other colors.

oh, and maybe window boxes for at least the two windows on the left, if not all four.

I think I would leave them black if you are leaving the other colors as they are... solid double doors are a lot of space !

I would look to add color and interest in other ways-- large planters/flowers, a trellis or something between the large area between the 2 front windows, a larger, more interesting light. most of the landscaping looks immature and doesn't do much to help 'dress up' the house-- some transplanting and changes with the landscaping will help to lessen the focus on just the front door and improve the house's appearance. then, when you've done some changes, it will be easier for you to decide what would look best for the doors...

I like sun-dried tomato or an olive green like Lukki suggested.

I have "sundried tomato" on my front door and it's wearing very well but I'm getting tired of it.

I love all the colors you chose for the door, but I always like a door color better when it ties into the decor inside the house - for example if you open the door and step into the foyer and saw art work or a chair or something in a similar color to the door.

Are any of the choices you picked echoed inside the house?

Nothing is classier than a glossy black door. I'd keep the colors on your home but oomph it up. Maybe redo the paint on both the door & the shutters with a higher gloss finish. Also I would address the landscaping and walkway. Extend the landscaping away from the parallel line running in front of the home. Change out the address numbers, provide larger light and coordinating planters Change the lock set on the door. Maybe change the shape of the walkway from the drive to the front door to make it a bit more grand.

I tried various light colors - and many dark ---- and kept going back to a really dark plum. (Next best to my eye was the light muted green).

I like the black or a darker yellow green, like lurrkish suggested. Chartreuse?

Another vote for keeping it black :)

I vote for keeping it black and adding some nice wreaths that you can change through the seasons.

Thanks for all of the input! I think i'll leave it back and get some pretty wreaths! and maybe a few pretty colored pots
