Front Door Colors That Flatter Your Home Exterior

In the dark about choosing a front door color? Flatter your home’s exterior with one of these tried and true hues presented in this Better Homes and Gardens video:



A vivid green that is a variation of shades in the landscape makes your door stand out in every season and forges a strong house and garden connection.

Gray shades of blue strike the perfect style note on coastal, colonial and country homes. Painted in a mid-tone blue, a white framed door takes its color cue from the home’s seaside locale and the bluestone walkway.

If an overhang darkens your entry, paint your door a bright hue that contrasts with your home’s siding. Robin’s egg blue will bring a front door out of the shadows.

Cherry red doors always offer a warm welcome. They complement most neutral facades but really pop when set against light to dark gray exteriors. Keep an intense color from overwhelming your entry by choosing a door with windows.

Emerald green makes a grand first impression that suits formal and historic home styles. Ensure your entry grabs attention by using the jewel tone only on the front door and painting surrounding trim an unexpected color such as buttery yellow.

Energize a monochromatic facade with a high gloss front door. A shiny putty color door adds interest to a gray painted exterior and looks equally stylish on a red brick home.

Whether your home is relaxed or formal, you can find a front door color that flatters your exterior and reflects your personality.
