I have an aluminum clad storm door that can be switched out for a screen in the summer...honestly I've never done it, none of us feels like unscrewing that large plate of glass and fooling with it. So it's glass all year. OP, my neighbor has one of those screen doors from the link. They have it painted in their accent color (I guess it is the third color on their exterior, it's an apricot type of color on their house is sage green); it looks so charming. Plus there is something so summery and homey about the gentle slap sound that wooden door makes when the kids run in and out.

LOL I agree! We're the same way, we have a/c but the minute a cool breeze kicks up, (like today, it's gorgeous out) the doors and windows are open. Thank you for the compliment about the entry. It's getting there. Seems like decorating is always a work in progress doesn't it? I wanted clear glass for the door originally too but privacy became an issue. Since someone at the door has a view into our living room we decided to go with a design instead. I don't want people to look in until after the door is open especially at night or when we aren't home. But the clear glass would look lovely with the style of your home. When we did the screen door, we had a lab puppy to consider, so we got a storm door with the screen roller on top. When you push the window down to open it, the screen rolls out in it's place. I like it ok, except Ellie likes to push her nose against the glass so I have to clean it alot. :c) I love the idea of a wood screen, again it would be a perfect match with the style of your house. You can paint the inside of your door a different color. We left ours white on both sides but that's because my walls are a soft golden color and I love the way it looks especially with the glass. But if my DH said have at it and do what you want, I would keep it white inside and paint the outside teal. Lighter than the shutters we just painted which are BM Newburg Green, here's a link: shutter pictures, but in the same family. I honestly don't think a stained door would look as nice as a painted one. Of course there are a billion shades of teal to choose from but I love the way these look

You get morning sun and no screen door to create an oven-like airspace to bake your door which means there's no technical reason why you couldn't go darker. Of course, a darker stain color is typically higher maintenance but other than that it seems it's really about design and aesthetics. Which stain color goes with the Dryvit gray best? Is the doorway inset and would the shaded inset plus the darker stain color on the door make it look like a black hole? In other words, do you need the lighter color on the door so it can be seen easier/better from the curb?

The architecture of your home is so pretty! I think the tan detracts from it, though. Is the tan paint new as well, or just the cream? I would carry the cream onto the shake siding. A cobalt blue would look lovely, but I think with the tan there might be a disproportionate amount of color going on. If the tan stays I'd carry the shutter color to the door for a more monochromatic scheme.
