The doors should be painted like the rest of your trim. I dont think the wall colors look right in your room. Your kitchen, looks a bit dull and monotone, with the all one color appearance everywhere. You could improve the look without changing the color by adding, some brighter colors in accessories. Right now, both rooms look rather boring and blah, even though they appear to be nice rooms.

This reminds me of that house that had two front doors from having been a duplex; remember that one? If there's a main door and French doors on the same facade, there's nothing wrong with having the front door in a distinctive color to act as a signpost. If they are old french doors with super-narrow stiles then all the more reason to treat them with the window sash color. Casey

I think the house looks great as for the french doors since they are part of the whole house I guess I would keep the grids ( I really dislike them ) but probably the best choice for this space. Your front yard needs some serious landscaping to really enhance the house.

Definitely leave them white. I would paint your door black if any. I would rather add more color through accents like pillows on the chairs and a house number. Maybe some more green landscape
