I would keep the color on the inside different from the outside. I like the current color. You could go black, dark gray or an interesting color. Maybe a deep plum.

You could pick just about any color door as you have brick. I had a new front door installed and we painted the door on both sides with Behr , color “ Baby Spinach”, for a pop of color. I was stationed in England (I am a retired United States Air Force Captain). Many of the entrance doors in England are painted with beautiful pops of color that put a smile on your face. It is also best to remove your door when you paint it so you can paint all 4 edges of the door.

Leave the inside, and paint the outside whatever color you want. Exterior sides of doors are most always painted different than the interior, which many want to match their trim.

The inside I’d paint to match the trim around it.

Outside, I’d go with terra-cotta or blue.

Black. You just can’t go wrong with black.

I would match trim on inside and use a dark navy on the outside.

Please change the way the horseshoe hanging above the door inside is hanging. Right now, it's basically upside down. It should hang with the open end upward -- the luck that the shoe is meant to bring is supposed to fall into it, acting like a cup. No luck can be captured the way it's hanging now.

I think the dark colors (especially black) just look like the door is open / a black hole. The navy and terracotta Jilly posted are both nice and both work with your planters (which yes can be changed but why not work with them).

My front door is almost the same. We live on a farm, and I love the style. I painted it mint green. Outside color is similar.

I have a similar brick color
Years ago I followed advice received on Houzz
I had tried multiple combinations & sought advice from paint shops but nothing worked until Houzz suggestions- I received many good ideas! We changed from yellow to taupe/chocolate brown
We've been very pleased

I painted the inside of my front door black and I LOVE it! The outside is blue like your planters. Also fun. (Time for me to take down those Xmas lights!)

Honestly, I like how it is now. I wouldn’t change it just for the sake of changing it.

I agree tht the color of the interior of the door should match the color of the interior trim (and that the horseshoe needs to be turned around). In looking at the photo of your house, some of the exterior bricks have a gray tone and the roof is gray. I think a gray color on the exterior would look very nice. Either a charcoal gray as previously suggested or perhaps a slightly lighter (but still dark) shade such as "Cast Iron" by Sherwin-Williams. Buy some sheets of large poster board and paint them with the different colors you are considering. Tape them to the exterior of the door and view them at different times of day to see how the color looks as the light changes.

I do not undderstand the reasoning behind comments that the inside of the door should match the color of the interior "trim".

What have you got directly inside the door? A black and white rug.

I'd suggest painting both the inside and outside of door Black. Classic look.

Deep eggplant with brass hardware.

Outside: I prefer when the front door and brick enhance each other. To visually make the entrance feel more prominent/less broken up, suggest also painting the trim and sidelights the same color.

Inside: I’ve used a different color but also the same, dependant on what was best. It just takes a bit more precision with two colors, but worth the outcome.

You could paint door white, so it‘s not as broken up/will feel much fresher. Add interest with a large, modern rug (and remove plants).

If you decide to go with the exterior’s color, be sure to add some decor that pulls the look together.

I also prefer the interior of the door to match the trim around the door. For the exterior, the white is clean and pretty, but it seems like you are ready for a change. Thankfully you have that pretty brick which is quite versatile. I am a sucker for a medium or dark green with brick, in this case with a gray undertone. If you coose the right green it won't look christmasy. I also could see a muted teal/turquoise/peacock being pretty, again with a gray undertone. I would also prefer the exterior trim around the door be painted the same as the door. These Benjamin Moore colors for the exterior.

No need to replace the door, you can replace the panel with the glass to just a solid panel.

Wow! thank you all so much for your input. I think I am going to go with Naval from SW. I saw this picture and it really 'called to me' :) I think I'll do both sides that color but keep the surrounding white both inside and out as they are now. I'll just freshen up the white paint. Here's the picture that I liked.

Oh and….😂😅

The door I mocked-up is SW Naval. I think it’ll look great. :)

Pretty sure that’s my color too!

Looks good the way it is, but a pink or peach color that is in the brick would be nice, or a darker terra cotta red/orange that is darker than the colors in the brick. The interior of door should not be the same - not sure where your husband got that idea. Paint it to match interior of house usually the color of your trim around doors and windows.

Maybe a cream white would look pretty that might be what you have on the inside already. :)
