Garage doors
Comments (30)And what were the recommendations of your designer for the garage doors? The issue is that the stained garage doors contrast visually with the painted finish of the surrounding wall siding. Contrast always attracts and holds the eye of viewers, so that in your case, the garage doors stand out and become very bold and "different", compared to your overall garage and house. This seems to be a common situation here on the forum, with posts almost weekly asking "what color should I paint my garage doors...shutters...front door...siding...etc. I would never want something as large as garage doors (which are often one of the largest elements on the façade of a house) to stand out and be visually contrasting. It's not the first thing I'd want visitors (or me) to see and dominate the façade of the house. But, from previous posts, it seems a lot of folks like to not only mix painted surfaces with stained surfaces, but also mix stone with brick with who knows what. It's your house, and only you have to be satisfied with the outcome. But since you asked, I wouldn't have done it that way...:-)...See MoreWhat color should I paint my tin gutters? thinking red like door
Comments (12)Take a look at the photos of my house. My house was painted with Behr Marquee paint colors Taupe Tease for the main color; Superior Blue for the trim; and Fire Cracker for the doors. It is recommended that you choose 3 colors for your house instead of two. My hubby will eventually paint our white downspots the same color as the house.I chose this color combination after thinking about my green roof and red brick chimney. I did not want to choose colors that would clash with them. BTW--I love my red doors!...See MoreWhat colors should my front & garage doors be?

Comments (13)Thanks everyone and thank you so much for the photos cd7733! I think I like the grey best for the garage door and yes maybe a shade of grey slightly darker. I’d love to get a light wood garage door but it’s not in the budget yet. Also yes the door is going to be replaced but not until next spring unfortunately. We want to add a different porch and walkway so waiting until then. I’d like a modern four with horizontal windows down the front and painted something bright. Not sure maybe a reddish? Thanks again!!...See Moresunshine_31
