I wanted a black garage door and the garage door guy said that around here (Kentucky) a black door won't stand up to the heat, as black absorbs more sunlight than other colors.

That being said, I don't think white is the right color. Maybe something in a midrange taupe, grey with brown undertones....See MoreI need help picking out a white exterior paint color
