Go bold with a bright color like teal, pink, or fire engine red, or stick with classic options like black or burgundy.
Here are seven colors to consider for your front door:
Black:
A black door is a classic choice that embodies elegance and tradition, making it one of the most popular colors for front doors. For a bold statement, choose high-gloss paint.

White:
A white door is also a traditional and popular option. If your home is painted in any color other than white, a white door can catch the eye.
Try: Benjamin Moore White Dove
Navy:
Navy is a sophisticated alternative to black and can add a subtle pop of color to your home without being too bold.
Try: Benjamin Moore Deep Royal
Gray:
With the rise in popularity of gray tones in home interiors over the past five years, it’s no wonder that gray doors have gained traction. They create an elegant appearance for various home styles.

Red or Burgundy:
These classic colors add an elegant touch and are not limited to colonial styles. They can work beautifully on transitional or modern homes as well.
Try: Benjamin Moore’s Classic Burgundy or Currant Red
Pink:
Pink can be a charming and whimsical choice for a front door, especially cottage style.
Try: Benjamine Moore’s Pink Seashell or Pretty in Pink
Green-Blue:
A green-blue color brings in a hint of color. This is a safe choice for those who want to introduce color but are hesitant about being too bold.

When choosing a front door color, it’s important to consider the overall appearance of the house to ensure everything coordinates well. Take into account the architectural style, any details like the color of surrounding brick or stone, and the color of the shutters. A common mistake is failing to consider the other colors on the house when selecting paint colors. Otherwise, your front door is a great place to experiment with color.
