Yes it was white and I painted it white. It looks great! Nice and fresh - it was a special paint at Home Depot (maybe oil paint or something I can remember...). Very happy with how it looks.

I painted mine this past spring. I went to Aboff and they helped me with picking the correct exterior paint.

I painted ours brick red and was happy with it. I used a Sherwin Williams exterior paint. If you are unsure of how a new color will look with your existing exterior, you can go there and look at their palettes. They have booklets with color combos and it's a great way to see what colors go well together. I am sure other paint companies have something similar.

Re: painted front door?
Sure. My door was unpainted so I had to paint it. Same with the back door. I don't remember what paint I used but, I went to the store (not home depot but, a paint store.. I feel like HD the people never really know anything about paint) and told them what type of door I had and they helped me pick out the right one.
I did blue on the outside and white on the inside. The back door I did light green.

Yes, we did. It was red when we first moved in and we painted it a cranberry color, so not too far off.
