Help me choose my garage door & front door color please?
So, I've finally decided on the exterior cedar siding color (BM Polo Blue), and the brick is remaining unpainted (it's a pretty white brick with flecks of light stone & silvery grays). I don't know what to choose for the garage, star detail, or front door.
My painter suggested a light gray for the garage door, to match the flecks in the brick, but mostly just told me it was my choice. I'm kinda grayed out at the moment, as all of my interior is gray.
Is the garage door supposed to match the front door?
I actually still love the star and am keeping it - should that match the front door or the siding?
The front door doesn't need painted, it's fairly new and still bright white. But I keep hearing people tell me to paint it yellow or red. (NO on the red, I am not patriotic enough to have a 4th of July house, LOL). I like the white, but maybe it looks out of place, IDK.
I don't have any annuals planted this year (long story), but when I do, I always plant white blooms, nothing with actual color, so the front is all green and white (except for that hydrangea...which is white until mid-august, anyway).
The windows on the right look VERY dark with the new color, but the tree that is in front of them and making all the shade will be coming down in the next year or two,.
Current house situation:
Updated with proper siding color and random gray for garage, blue star:
And another, but with the star staying white to match the front door:
Can I get your thoughts, please? You all are always so helpful.

Help me choose paint for my front door
Comments (10)So, to sum, you are using green shutters? I think I would tend to do door and sidelights same or trim and sidelights same, but not all 3 the same. And, which you choose would be if you want a double-sized color, or single color. If it were me, and green were my shutters, I probably go for a darker green for door. But, with your brick, I think I would like either dark blue (to almost black) or dark red. Which way does it face? Will it get Western or Southern Sun? If so, you may not be able to do too dark a color without voiding the door's warranty....See MorePainted my garage door...now what color front door?
Comments (7)I like a green-blue suggestion above, but your exterior colors are so neutral that you can choose almost any color you like and it will be another step to make this house "yours". A bright blue door will make a bold statement and will be an eye-catching focal point distracting from poor landscaping. On the porch, you can add an outdoor chair and decorate it with some bright pillows that will match your front door. If there is not enough space for chair you can add an unusually patterned rug.

On both sides of the stairs, you can add pots of flowers it is a good idea to make your entry more inviting and interesting.

Comments (9)I agree the stone needs cleaning, however, the colors in the photos you just posted above, do not look good on your house. Makes house look like it is sitting on stilts. You need the darker color of the stone, so the house looks grounded, and not hanging in mid air. Your entrance needs to be lightened, so your door shows up better, and the garage door, needs to blend in with the rest of the house. The places below the upper windows really bother me a lot. . This is the first picture you have posted of the entire front of house. The browner color way at the top of the windows, doesnt look good either. It makes the house look like sections have been added on to the top of the previous section. It should be painted out to the green color too, so that the house looks like it all belongs together....See MoreColor help for front door, garage door and stucco...maybe siding!
Comments (1)I don't think that any brown will look right with that black roof. I would probably paint it all in a warm cream color that coordinates with the brick....See More
