For some reason I am having difficulty in uploading the picture even though I reduced the size. I will keep working on it.

Do you want to stain or paint?

Typically I like color, but the door in your above link is lovely in a stain. It looks "just right", so I'd consider bringing in color through plants, house house numbers, maybe a chair or bench.

The color I'd see in this instance is red ... but that's also my favorite color, so I might be a bit biased!

What about Aqua? With the house color I think that would really pop.

That is interesting that you suggested red because that was what I was originally thinking. Originally I was going to match my front doors to the outbuilding color of Glidden California Red. Here is an example on two of our sheds:

However, I was beginning to think it might be too much color for the front door.

As for aqua, I am pretty sure my husband would say no. ;-)

Thanks for the help.

here's a yellow house with a teal door

That "barn red" is just what was in my mind. I suggest you go get a bunch of red scrapbook paper and tape it to the door, then step back and see if you like it. It won't be neat, of course, but it'll allow you to "test" the color.

The teal door looks nice, but I feel that it will clash with the outbuilding color we have chosen. We are going for the "farm" look. :-)

Ms. Pete, great idea. I will put some scrapbook paper up there and see what I think. Thanks!

Very nice golfergirl29! You are right, it is only paint. Thanks!
