I think the teal color would be pretty and if you keep your yellow planters that would be a nice combo. Are you going to paint your shutters or the piece behind the light? The door knob and handle changed to a black would help tie it together as you have a black roof, a black light and some black brick. But from a safety point, I would like to make a suggestion: Have you thought about getting a wrought iron rail for the porch to keep your little one from falling off or when going up the stairs? If you removed the larger plant in front of the stair and added a black rail, this would be another design element (and safer too!).

Such helpful comments thank you. And special thanks to those of you who shared your photoshop skills! My husband is not good at visualizing in his head so that will help him out a lot. Funny I've been drawn to the mid-century doors but felt my house was too traditional looking, but I think you've all convinced me otherwise. The first door in teak is definitely a splurge, I don't think I'd even want to know what matching garage doors would cost though lol! Black is definitely ruled out now, I love the brightness that the lighter colors or even wood brings to that space. No longer looks like a cave. I agree that the light grey would not match the trim currently, however we just redid windows and soffit on the back of the house and swapped that over to hardie board trim around the windows in arctic white, so that change will likely be coming to the front of the house too at some point with the next repaint. I think now I'm leaning to the first wood door, or the grey with the multi lites, but possibly painted a pale blue/green instead. Have to get the husbands opinion now and see what similar doors are available locally.

I like the blue examples that @houssaon shared, but look at colors you love. Also consider if those 3 posts are necessary or not, or could they be reduced to one that is thicker? Could the lower half of the wall on the left be painted the color of your house trim to brighten up the entry area? And could those gutter spouts be repositioned better for both drainage and appearance? A fun project area and will be real nice when you're done.

Out of the front door options, I’d rule out Gentle Gray as I don’t think it’ll provide enough contrast with the body of your house (needs more depth). Normandy is in the blue hue family, is a little lighter and a little more colorful while Britannia is in the blue/violet hue family is slightly darker and more neutral. If those are feeling too dark, check out the following:
