According to Feng Shui principles, you can’t go wrong with green, the color of balance and renewal. Don’t worry that it will blend in with your landscaping — using green can actually draw out the different shades that are found naturally in your yard. The saturated hue shown is Behr’s Precious Emerald.

You might think coral pink would be a tough color to pull off, but it looks right at home paired with a pale cream brick. Photographer and licensed contractor Brittany Bailey loves unique front door colors, which is why she photographed this pinkish-orange door, which is a good companion for any neutral siding color.

This cool grayish-blue (Behr’s Oslo Blue) makes a great complementary pairing with the warm neutral palette of the surrounding house. The color also echoes the soft blues on the stone porch.

It’s hard to resist painting a contemporary door a vibrant shade, like this delicious Overt Green by Sherwin-Williams. The simplicity of the door — which isn’t interrupted with panels, windows or other details — acts as a great blank canvas to apply a bold citrusy color.

DIY blogger Brittany Bailey (prettyhandygirl.com) knows a thing or two about home improvement, but for this project, she didn’t have to lift a finger. She inherited this purple front door from the previous owners of her home and decided to keep it as is. The color, unique to Bailey’s neighborhood, pops against white trim and also picks up the color in the mosaic tile on the brick porch.

This earthy color palette is warm and inviting, but it’s the brownish-purple front door that really makes it happen. Use Sherwin Williams’ Raisin to pull off this look.

A Victorian home is a license to indulge in brilliant paint and trim choices. “This style of architecture has so much detail that it takes a dark or bold color to draw your attention to the front door as a focal point,” says Jackie Jordan, Director of Color Marketing for Sherwin-Williams. This shade, Sherwin-Williams Indigo, harmonizes with the copper trim above and the brass hardware and kickplate below.

This traditional front door is painted deep navy — Behr’s Deep Breath — to complement the slate-gray wood-shingle siding and white trim.

If you have a Craftsman-style home, you’ll want the intricate architectural details to stand out. With a rich wood color like Sherwin-Williams’ Cut the Mustard, your front door will complement your home’s design instead of taking away the spotlight.

Purple is a dual-meaning color: It can be thought of as regal and sophisticated as well as groovy and whimsical. This purple door is both. It’s classy and elegant and totally hip at the same time. Image courtesy of Behr.

Many Victorian homes showcase an explosion of colors in their exterior paint schemes. Not your style? Keep it soothing and simple with muted siding and a natural door color like Behr’s Royal Liqueur.

Got a stodgy brick facade on your hands? An electric-blue front door will certainly breathe some life into the picture — and knock your neighbors’ socks off. DIY blogger Brittany Bailey (prettyhandygirl.com) spotted this one on vacation in the United Kingdom.

If your house has a neutral color palette and you’re squeamish about bright hues — not everyone can handle a candy-apple red or a neon green front door — try a paint color that is also neutral but has the opposite “temperature.” That is, choose a warm door to go with a cool house or vice versa. Here, taupe siding with warm yellow undertones is nicely complemented by a charcoal gray with a cool-bluish tone.

There’s nothing like a traditional white, country home with a large porch. A radiant red front door (Benjamin Moore’s Caliente) provides a fun dose of personality with a modern twist.

This home takes a cue from its woodland setting with a cool color palette. The pastel yellow door (Behr’s Marsh Marigold) adds a warm and welcoming feel without taking away from the calm and serene vibe.

If you’re going to paint your front door, why not go all out? Lifestyle blogger Jill McKee, who dishes on DIY home decor at meandjilly.blogspot.com, gave her door a much-needed makeover with a strip of crown molding and a can of Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain. Then she took it up a notch by painting a houndstooth pattern on a papier-mache “M” in a lighter shade of gray, distressing it with sandpaper and attaching it to the door to achieve the final look.

Everybody knows and loves the classic red front door — but the shade people usually pick is cranberry, which has blue undertones. To turn the temperature up a notch, push your red towards orange instead. As shown here, it makes a totally unexpected but satisfying pairing with the weathered brick.

Blogger Ellen Mallernee Barnes (blackandwhiteandlovedallover.com) got so inspired while she was painting her front door blue — that’s Benjamin Moore’s Wythe Blue — that she decided to go all out with porch stripes. Those colors are from Sherwin-Williams’ Perfect Greige and Antique Ivory. “It turned out so fun and bright,” Barnes says. “I love pulling into my driveway now.”

This blush-red door stands out against the neat, clean look of the creamy white trim and sage green siding. Sherwin Williams’ Flower Pot was used on the door for contrast.

High-contrast landscapes call for high-contrast color palettes. This desert ranch stays cool with a white exterior and an accent of chocolate brown trim and door. The beauty of this color combo? Any accent color can be chosen for outdoor furniture and decorations. Use Behr’s Divine Wine to achieve this look.

Spruce up a modern home by painting the front door and the porch similar colors in the same color family. Here, Benjamin Moore’s Blue Lake door works perfectly with the grayish blue floor and dark brown trim.

A red front door may seem awfully dramatic when you’re looking at paint swatches, but don’t fear it.

This shade, Behr’s Licorice Stick, is a source of energy and an instant cure for “the taupes.”

Cass, blogger from That Old House, describes the hue of her front door as “summer squash yellow.” It’s actually Benjamin Moore’s Imperial Yellow, which pops out like a happy surprise from behind the charcoal-colored screen door frame and trim.

A modern beach house warms in the sun with its custard-yellow siding and a cinnamon-stick front door (Behr’s Artisan). Pure white accents on the windows contribute to the crisp and clean vibe.

You can’t miss with a blue-toned red, which is so ubiquitous it’s practically a neutral these days. Shown is Behr’s Morocco Red — it’s like a cherry on top of the vanilla siding sundae.

You just can’t sustain a bad mood in the presence of a bright yellow door. This one, which belongs to blogger Erin Loechner, is set off by charcoal-gray shake siding and a decal applied to the glass sidelight that says sweetly, “Hello.”

When you add a reddish-brown front door to a Spanish-style stucco home, you make a statement while at the same time allowing the accent color to elegantly blend in with its surroundings. Sherwin Williams’ Cavern Clay is shown here.
