A new front door color is one of the smallest changes you can make to a house, and one of the most visible. Below are the colors design guides and paint makers keep naming, grouped by the look they give, how to choose one for your house, and a tool that repaints only the door on a photo of your own house.
The front door colors that keep coming up
Grouped by the look they give.
1
Black and charcoal
Soft black, true black and dark charcoal. The color named most often as going with almost any house, from white siding to red brick.
2
Blues
Deep navy, slate blue and teal. Navy is a classic on light houses and against brick; teal is the brighter choice.
3
Greens
Hunter green and sage. Dark green is a traditional match for brick; sage suits farmhouse and craftsman houses and natural gardens.
4
Reds and corals
Classic red, deep oxblood and coral. Red is the traditional welcoming door, often framed by white trim.
5
Yellow
Mustard and warmer golden yellows. Cheerful on gray and white houses.
6
White and wood
Guides disagree on a white door: some call it fresh, some say it can look plain. A natural wood stain gives a warm, classic look.
How to choose a door color for your house
Start with what will not change.
1
Red brick
Navy, black, dark green and sage are the colors commonly paired with red brick.
2
White house
Almost anything works. Black, navy, red and soft blue-gray are the usual picks.
3
Gray house
Black, white, red on a cool gray, and yellow are common pairings.
4
Your roof, shutters and trim
Pull a color from the shutters or roof, or pick a door color that contrasts with the trim.
5
Hardware
Brass handles look warm with navy, black and green; black hardware suits white, gray and wood doors.
Front door colors by house
Guides for the most common house colors.
Before you paint
A picture helps you choose a direction. These checks help you get the colour right on the real door.
1
Test a sample in your own light
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.
2
Screens change colour
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.
3
Pick the sheen
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.
4
Check the door material
Wood, steel and fibreglass doors each need the right primer and exterior paint. Ask at the paint store before you start.
5
Check HOA rules
Some homeowner associations approve front door colours. Ask before you paint, and bring the picture with you.
Honest limits
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.
Colour pairings on this page are what design guides commonly suggest, not rules. Your light, your street and your taste matter more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Black and dark charcoal are named most often in design guides, with navy, red and green close behind.
Black is the color most often said to suit almost any house. Navy is a close second.
Navy, black, dark green and sage are commonly paired with red brick.
No. It keeps your door, its panels, glass and handle, and repaints only the color.
Many painters use satin or semi-gloss on front doors because they clean easily. High gloss looks richer but shows marks. Try each finish in the tool.
The picture is an approximation. Paint a sample and look at it on the door in daylight before you buy.
