No to the shake siding you already hav a busy ecterior do not add to that . IMO the slate is the issue with the brick As for door color I would probably do ashade from the slte or a green not any red I would also get rid of the storm door for sure and let the front door be the star .If uou want to have a screen get a phantom one noneed for a torm door with a good quality exterior door.

I like the jewel tones. The orange and red are really nice. With a full length storm door, you'll be able to see more of that wonderful door.

Here are come Benjamin Moore colors that would look good.

I love the Blue door with that blue slate against the red brick. Love love love the blue. BTW why don't you just paint the storm door the same shade as the front door?

I like using a front door color that complements both the exterior and interior of the home.

I think blues and orange reds work with both the slate (more blue) and the brick (more orange).

The 3 top choices you posted all look good. The last red is a bit too cranberry / purple leaning red.

What colors do you have in the rooms where the doors will open into? Would a blue or an orange/red work better in those rooms?

Your brick is brown, so you are always going to have to coordinate with the brown. You could lighten up the brown siding a bit, but gray or cedar are not going to work. A brightly colored front door isn't usually seen on this style of house. That being said, the dark blue is not bad. I think a dark green would be better and SW Urbane Bronze would be a more traditional look. You have a nice example of a smaller Tudor house (some of them built around the same time have been nicknamed Stockbroker Tudor and they're enormous). Browse Houzz or just Google Tudor homes and you will see a lot of examples of this style.

A pretty shade of green would be lovely. You can’t really see door from street so might want to try a yellow like the forsythia outside!

Or possibly a bright yellow.

Thanks for all this great advice!

@kandrewspa Our original thought *was* dark green—BM Essex or Chrome Green! When I pulled the picture into Photoshop and colored it, we weren't sure with the blueish slate floor. It might just be that the Tudor Brown that is making it feel off. Hopefully, that will be gone. I'll post a pic...

@Jennifer Hogan We would like it to speak to the interior as well. The foyer as you enter is not done yet, but the room to the right and kitchen straight ahead that you can see are 90% there, so we will definitely take into consideration the color-ways there when deciding. Great point! The cranberry/blue-leaning red is the present color that we will be painting over. You can see a bit of it on the side door as well...

@tracefloyd We love the blue, too! It's one of the colors we'll be grabbing chips for when we hit the paint store. We are still weighing the possibility of keeping and painting the storm because that doorway is like a wind tunnel. A neighbor's home built by the same people has no storm on their arched door and it looks so much better. The former owner of our house built a rectangular frame in front of the beautiful arched door to accommodate the screen. A custom arched storm door is on the long-term list.

@houssaon Thanks for the suggestions! We'll grab those chips when we hit the paint store.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting Thank you for the invitation to rethink the shake siding. We saw it on a much larger, more modern tudor with a pretty standard brick pattern and consistent color. Our house is made from bricks that were rejected by the brick factory and pretty funky and busy, so I see your point! I've been meaning to get a peek behind the aluminum, so maybe I need to get on that. There's a half-moon arched window behind the peak on the front of the house, so we hope to have that repaired and get rid of the siding they added to cover it to expose the brick. It's like that on the back.

Thank you @BeverlyFLADeziner. We had not even considered stripping the door, but we love the idea and have decided to look into doing just that! Of course, that means we'll also strip the side door. But from what I've already learned, you have to strip them to repaint them anyway.

The roof in the entry is a sore spot as it's made of vinyl. We plan to eventually have a look underneath to see what is there, but maybe I can give it a coat of paint in the meantime. It does stick out.

We love the idea of a large mat. The entry does get dusty because it becomes a bit of a whirlwind in there and that somehow creates a dirt haven, but we actually have a 3 x 5-ish jute/sisal rug from our city apartment balcony in the basement, so will try it out.

Love the other ideas and will keep them in mind for the long term. We have a lot of items on our list already...

Thank you @Flo Mangan! Yellow is one of my favorite colors and we were also looking at a sagey green. But I think we're now going to do stained wood since we recently learned you have to strip the old paint off the door to repaint it after it has cracked, so we have to strip them anyway...
