Raspberry?? Whatever it is, I like it!

It appears to be the color called fuchsia or hot pink.

Pinkish coral

coral red. could be getting pulled a bit toward pink by the siding.

Coral and I LOVE it. It's perfect.

Oh, thank you all so much! Our goal was a pinkish coral or coralish pink, and we picked this specific shade because it erred on the side of fuschia or hot pink rather than going too far toward orange.

The color I’m being told it is is RED. This is from people who’ve seen the picture I posted, and others who’ve been standing right in front of it. My mother told me it looked patriotic, and my brother referred to it as “MAGA hat red”. He was probably yanking my chain, but combined with the friends who saw it as red I was starting to think we’d really screwed up!

Memo to self: most of your family and your more vocal friends don’t see color right. ;-)

Nope, that's not red. :) Keep in mind most of us are used to poring over paint swatches and debating the nuances of WHITE, let alone discern the subtleties of red tones. :P

Love the color!!

coral. very nice

It looks wonderful!!

It reads coral to me as well. It's a fresh, pretty choice.

Very good point @tartanmeup! We specialize in color obsession. :D

On my screen it looks pink not red.

It's a very warm pink. And pink is a touchy colour for something permanent and exposed to the public like a front door. People are either going to love it or hate it. If you love it, keep it as is. But be prepared for people not to see the other lovely parts of the front of your house. Generally, people will look at your house & their eye will stop at the front door. Your house will be known as the house with the pink door. If that's okay, then you should be happy with your colour choice and you won't care what others think.

Looks like a coral color with a hint of raspberry on my monitor. I love it. Very different, and very fresh. :-)

Whatever it is, I like it!

And this post (with its wildly varied responses) is a prime example of the futility of picking colors on a computer monitor. Raspberry? No way. Fuchsia? Not a chance. But that's just because of the monitor I'm using (and at 11 PM it switches to night mode and cuts back on the blue tones in order to not disrupt sleep patterns). Who knows what it really is, especially based on a small cell phone camera.

Complete waste of time doing posts like this. Turn off the computer and go to a paint store.

Yeah, what color IS raspberry? Freshly picked raspberries, frozen, jam, koolaid, a favorite lipstick? My door exists as an object with an objective color, but everyone will see it slightly differently.

I’m going to turn off my iPad because I’m so sleepy I’m about to drop it on the floor. But I’m not going to the paint store.

I love the way my house looks and my door looks and I have no need of repainting it. I just wanted reassurance that my color perception isn’t all out of whack. I can live with some people thinking my door is red. And I can totally live with being that crazy old white broad with the frizzy gray hair and the navy blue house with the pink door. :D

That is why I only trust a very few people in my circle when it comes to color. Everyone else is clueless. “Red”???? Good lord.

Your door looks fantastic on my screen. And I ADORE navy homes with brightly colored doors! Lucky!

Good for you. Its pretty, you love it, and everyone should have colors they love. It shouldnt matter at all, what others say, or think. Enjoy it every time you look at it.

Our old house had a red door. This is definitely NOT red. It looks great :) I wish I could talk my husband in to a coral door!

Not red at all. I love it!

Salmon!

It’s cheery and fun and I love it. Are you asking neighbors and family for comments? If so, reconsider. I’m not laughing.

What color is the siding? I like that color with the white.

To be fair, Emily, colours on a monitor aren't really to be trusted unless we're sure the picture rendered the colours accurately (rare with most phone cameras) and the monitor is calibrated. There is usually a noticeable difference in colours between different brands of monitors. I'd wager your perception of your shirt's colour is correct. Colour-blindness is more common in men than in women. According to the National Eye Institute:

"As many as 8 percent of men and 0.5 percent of women with Northern European ancestry have the common form of red-green color blindness.

Men are much more likely to be colorblind than women because the genes responsible for the most common, inherited color blindness are on the X chromosome. Males only have one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. In females, a functional gene on only one of the X chromosomes is enough to compensate for the loss on the other. This kind of inheritance pattern is called X-linked, and primarily affects males. Inherited color blindness can be present at birth, begin in childhood, or not appear until the adult years."

@Anne Duke No, I'm not asking them! I'm just "blessed" with opinionated friends and family. No problem with the neighbors, fortunately.

@scottandgwyneth It's Alside Charter Oak siding and the color is "Riviera Dusk".

What color is your roof? We are building and are in love with the Riviera Dusk siding, but can't decide on a roof color. Yours looks amazing!

I also love your coral door... I hadn't thought about that color for our front door, but NOW I am.

The roof is Certainteed’s “Moire Black”. I originally thought we’d do a dark gray, but the siding seemed to need black for contrast.

I hope you’ll post pics of your house when it’s done! We’ve had so many people stop to ask about our siding. I was hoping maybe we’d start a trend in our neighborhood and see some houses redone in other dark colors, but I think a lot of home projects are on hold now with the “stay at home“ orders in effect.

This is a running joke with me and my husband...but even then, they’re off by a couple colors. It does look like a pinky-coral to me.

Btw what color is the house...that’s gorgeous! (To me it looks like dark blueberry).

I love your front door color! It is exactly right. Red? No. Your brother is pulling your leg or is colorblind. It is so refreshing and inviting to see a nice, bright color front door.

We must be in different areas. Our Certainteed color options don’t have Moire Black. 😔 I keep leaning towards their Thunderstorm Grey.

I loved your comment about people stopping because that’s literally how we found that color. A house we live in the next town over has it. It’s gorgeous anytime of day. ❤️

Thankfully our state considers construction essential. We have been living with my parents since October with the plan to build this spring. Our family of 5 is going to lose their minds if we don’t at least see some progress. The crews we’ve encountered have all been mindful of social distancing or wearing masks. It has been hard to pick out plumbing and electrical fixtures online. So far what has come in I’m still in love with once I see it in person. 😆

@hemina It's a very dark grayed-down blue. We've had people think it's black or dark gray when they've seen it on a cloudy day. It's Alside's Charter Oak siding and the color name is "Riviera Dusk".

@Lauren Nelson I forgot Certainteed has different colors for different regions. Our siding/roofing guy insisted we take all the samples outside and look at them in full sun and in the shade. There were grays I was considering that looked very neutral inside the house but showed flecks of colors when we got them out into the sun. If you haven't had a chance to look at roofing samples outside I'd recommend doing that before making your final choice.

I'm glad you're able to keep going on your construction!
