I would stay with the red, When you landscape, add some shrubs, perennials and/or annuals with some red flowers, berries or bark (e.g. red twig dogwood)

Thank you both! If I stick with the red, it'll certainly be more of a deep brick. Also on the list is black. Thoughts on gold?

Teal or midnight blue! Just personal favorites that I think look good with gray. Not gold, in my opinion.

Black or inky bottle green.

dark blue or burgundy. red feels too punchy. beautiful house

Ok. Love the gray/yellow combo, but have a bit of that inside and will stick with it there. Leaning more towards black than red (agree on this shade being punchy) or even burgundy. Thanks all - appreciate the input!

Red, black, yellow or plum (more blue undertones than burgundy)

Black door with a knocker and some large black urns.

Here's the yellow I was thinking.

I think that would look nice - has a New England feel.

Something I love about it. Do you happen to know which paint color this is, Maureen?
I really do love the black door you posted, as well. It may come down to those two.....decisions, decisions ;)

I looked through the comments in the door's info and they referenced Glitzy Gold by Sherwin Williams and Bejamin Moore MARIGOLD - so not sure which one. Your home is lovely and either the black or the yellow will be nice!

I like the yellow in your photo, but I notice that the grey it's against is much warmer than the grey in your photo of your house, which is almost light blue. Perhaps the house photo is misleading, but I'd check the chips against each other to make sure you'll get the effect you're looking for.

You are absolutely right, acm. Perhaps this explains why, despite loving the idea of the gray and yellow, I haven't had the courage to do it yet. Not confident it would look quite like this, and repainting the house is a few years off (I hope). Thank you for the insights!

A bright teal would be beautiful if you're not "into" warm colors.

Love fire engine red!

Another great idea Danna, thank you!

Traditional iconography: "Red door, house is paid for." but the color has come to have a traditional colonial appeal. Matching the shutter color is also highly appropriate, although much less flashy.
