Colonnade Gray is the perfect warm gray color for a front door. If you’re looking for a fresh new door color that works with a warm, neutral color palette, this is an ideal paint color for you. It’s timeless and classic, you really can’t go wrong!

An earthy red, Vermillion is a stand-out front door paint color. This paint can be used on indoor and outdoor projects, allowing you to get creative and use it multiple times. It’s unexpected but so good. This color can work for a variety of different design styles, whether your home is a cozy cottage, or you’re going for a more elevated, modern look.

This color, Vintage Vessel, is such a breath of fresh air. It’s a go-to color for homes that have a beachy or Craftsman vibe, and will look great from the street! A perfect choice for those seeking to switch up the look and feel of the exterior of your home.

 

5. Half Sea Fog, Behr

I think Half Sea Fog is such a beautiful front door color, especially for those looking for a coastal vibe. It’s a blue-gray color that offers a peaceful and tranquil feel before entering into your home. A blue front door is welcoming for all who enter and a perfect choice for those who live near the sea.

 

6. Hubbard Squash, Sherwin Williams

Hubbard Squash is such a buttery, satisfying yellow color. It would work with both Craftsman and even more modern home exteriors, and is sure to bring a smile to anyone who passes through this sunny door. I love this color for young families or those looking to revamp the exterior of their home without spending a ton of money! This is such a fun way to boost your home’s curb appeal.

 

7. Georgian Blue, Sherwin Williams

Ahh, Georgian Blue, what a deep and rich blue color. Again, this paint color would work on more exterior styles than you might think, and it will bring so much depth to your curb appeal. This dark blue color pairs nicely with a more neutral, or lighter, colored house.

 

 

8. Copper Mountain, Sherwin Williams

An unexpected color that ends up amazing is definitely Copper Mountain. This color is a great way to do something different with your front door while maintaining a more cohesive look with the rest of your exterior. Pro tip: trimming this deep orange color with a nice, bright white paint will make it pop nicely. A perfect choice!

 

 

9. Baroness, Sherwin Williams

I know what you’re thinking: “Purple, Jas?!” Seriously guys, trust me. But with Baroness, this shade of purple looks so fresh and welcoming on a front door, and it will definitely set your home’s curb appeal apart from the rest of the street. This is a perfect choice if you’re searching for something a bit different than any other neutral color. Don’t be afraid to step out of the box—you’re welcome!

 

 

10. Night Owl, Sherwin Williams

One of my favorite cool gray tones has to be Night Owl. If you’re more of a cool gray person than a warm gray person, I got you. This color is timeless, but also rich. Adding a fun metal door knocker will take it to the next level!
