Red brick is warm, busy and will not change, so the front door is where you add color. Design guides keep naming the same few door colors for red brick houses. Here they are, why each one works, and a tool that repaints only the door on a photo of your own house, so you can see them against your actual brick.
What the guides recommend, and why.
Blue sits opposite orange-red on the color wheel, so a blue door makes the brick look richer. Navy is the most repeated pick.
A calm, formal choice that suits almost any brick, and looks sharp with white trim.
Green is a traditional match for red brick. Dark green looks classic; sage is softer and suits gardens and older houses.
A brighter choice that still contrasts with the warm brick.
A white door brightens a dark brick wall. A natural wood stain looks warm, but check it does not blend into the brick.
Red brick is not one color.
Blues and greens give the strongest contrast.
Black, charcoal and navy keep it calm; white or sage lift it.
Pick up a cool tone from the mix: slate blue, charcoal or sage.
Guides rarely suggest red for a red brick house, because the door and the wall are close in tone. If you want red, try a deep oxblood in the tool first.
White or cream trim around the door makes almost any of these colors stand out more.
A picture helps you choose a direction. These checks help you get the colour right on the real door.
A door colour looks different in morning sun, afternoon shade and under the porch light. Paint a sample board, tape it to the door and look at it at different times of day.
The picture is a preview. Phone and laptop screens show the same colour differently, so take the picture to the paint store and ask for a close match, then check the real sample.
Front doors are usually painted in satin, semi-gloss or high gloss. Gloss shows the colour deeper and is easier to wipe clean; it also shows dents and brush marks more.
Wood, steel and fibreglass doors each need the right primer and exterior paint. Ask at the paint store before you start.
Some homeowner associations approve front door colours. Ask before you paint, and bring the picture with you.
The tool draws an approximation of each colour from a plain description of its tone. It is not a paint maker's swatch, and it does not match any brand's colour exactly.
Only the door is repainted. The frame, trim, sidelights, walls and the rest of the house are kept as photographed. To change those too, use the house painter afterwards.
It is a preview, not a quote. It does not measure the door, change its style or give prices.

Navy is the color guides name most often, with black and dark green close behind. Try all three on your house.
Yes, black is a common and safe choice with red brick, especially with white trim.
You can, but the door and the brick are close in tone, so it may not stand out. Guides usually suggest a contrasting color. Try it in the tool first.
No. Only the door is repainted. The brick, trim and windows are kept as photographed.
The picture is an approximation. Paint a sample and look at it on the door in daylight before you buy.
