Garage door and front door color recommendation

last year

last modified: last year

We just remodeled our siding to Hardie Pearl Gray with Aged Pewter accent and Artic White trim. The garage door is the door we had before and it’s fairly new so we would like to paint it. Any ideas on garage door and front door colors? Thank you

the colors in your first pic look very blue.

I think you mean Pearl Gray. These two, right?

wondering why you picked these colors when you have very warm, yellow tone stonework and reddish brown roof and wood trim?

Since you have so much going on around the garage (the stone, the siding, the shake siding) I'd prob try painting it the same as the trim

here is the pearl gray w/a white door

Ignore this color. just look at the addition of windows on the top portion of the garage door. you might want to add that panel.

I don't suppose you're interested in toning down the stone, are you?

I'd keep the garage door the same color as the siding, No need to contrast and draw attention to it.

I don't like to contrast the gables either, makes the house squatty looking.

an entrance door color to compliment the body of the house.

a rich wine color would be great. Ox Blood would be my first choice.

Will you be painting the trim around the windows also? Right now the trim is white and your garage door is white. I think they should match. You could paint trim/garage door beige like the little molding below the stone part of your house. That qould look good, I think. Your front door could be any color...mine is red and I love it.

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. Read more about how to choose a color for the front door and how to paint it properly. 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. Some inspirational pictures:

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.

Snap a photo on a sunny day then use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app to play with the colors. I would select a tone slightly darker than your mortar for the garage door and a color slightly darker than your darkest brick for the front door. I would then on the garage door install magnetic faux hinges and windows; this will add detail to the door, like the below house. I know they can be found on Amazon, not sure where else.

No gray. (In picture #3, the siding appears to clash bigtime with the stone wall. Perhaps it's just the lighting . . . .)

I like the oxblood suggestion for the front door, and the garage door the same as the siding. It's not a design feature you want to highlight.

Garage same as siding and for front door, suggest trying to complement the stone and hopefully the roof. A terra cotta shade might work and also goes well with grey.

Thank you ! Yes, Pearl Gray. It doesn’t look blue in reality maybe in the picture. We are not planning on doing anything with the stone at the moment, but maybe in the future. So far we will pick a garage door that is the same as the siding, I like the windows. And a front door that complements the house, we will also paint the brown post by the front door. The trim is Hardie Artic white.

whatever the white trim color is on the downspout and corner trim (arctic white?) match that for now and do the garage in that.

or, match the pearl gray siding color and use that.

my concern is the yellow tones of the stone.

you can get a sample of Romabio Classico and try it on the side stone. you have 72 hours to wash it off if you don't like it.

You don't have a lot to do. wouldn't take much.

Yes, Artic white for the trim and Pearl gray for the siding. Thank you for the suggestion on the stone, we will try that as well
