Colored front door?
We have a gorgeous wood door but aren't going to put it in yet. In the meantime, the front door is white. I want to paint it for fun.. Do your have a colored door? What color?

We did red. Like fire engine red. I repainted my shutters too the same color. They were a boring burgundy that was faded. My house is a very light grey and white. The red pops and I love it.

Then you should go with green, brown, black or blue according to feng shui. If it were me, on a brick front house I would paint the door onyx black.
My house is pale yellow and had a green door. I painted the door black, with white side panels. I have black shutters. I love it.

Re: Colored front door?
I paint my front door way too often.  It's just a plain 6 panel steel door with no glass lights, so I paint it often to make things less boring lol. I also always have some kind of wreath on the door and I change that frequently too.
I have pale yellow siding (it was called cream something, but it is more of a yellow to me?)
Anyway, I originally had cranberry. Right now I have green... not a deep green, nor is it a bright green. Kind of like BM Green Thumb, maybe?
I am actually going to paint it towards the end of the summer. Going to do a really dark blue next, I think.

It's fun. I love to paint my door... I figure if I hate it, I just have to paint it a different color - no harm, no foul!
The mailman even commented once about my ever changing door color and decor.

For anyone that has painted it, what type of paint did you use?

Colored front door?
The previously owners of the house loved the Yankees and blue- the owner even painted the large rocks outside blue. I live in a sea of blue right now. That said, we are keeping the light blue siding and we started painting the window trim (we don't have shutters but have like an old school decorative boarder) white and getting a new front door that is white- we need to tone down the blue. Got more blue than Yankee stadium going on at my place
