Exterior door paint, all the same or different?

Last year we had the house painted. After he left, we noticed that he didn't paint the front or back door. He painted the two walk in doors to the garage the same greige as the siding. The trim is a yellow tone off-white. He also didn't paint the French doors because they are vinyl coated white.

I painted the front door a charcoal gray, which is similar to the shutters and love it. I would paint the back door the same color, except for two things. The back door faces west and it has a white storm door.

Sooo, should I paint the back door charcoal and let the space between it and the storm door become even more of an oven, paint it greige like the two garage doors which it is close to, paint it the off-white trim color which doesn't look that terrific with white, or just paint it white?

    Could we see pictures before giving advice?

    grapefruit1_ar, I was afraid you would ask that. I would hate for anyone to see my back deck right now. It's the place we are putting all the big garage stuff that can't be packed in a box.

    Lily's mom, I'm leaning toward white too.
