Advice on How to paint front door turquoise

11 years ago
Hi Houzzers!
Our home's exterior is brick, painted white. Our front door (with a side light each side) was a very dark maroon, and I want to go turquoise. Yesterday I put 3 coats of white primer on it, so she's ready to paint, but not sure how I want to do this.

Should I paint just the main door and leave all the trim and side lights white? (No contrast on side lights)? Or paint trim turquoise to highlight the white and give contrast to the sides? Should I paint the trim around the window over the door, or leave it white? Seems there's so many possibilities. I'd love the door to 'pop', but without going overboard. I do love the simplicity of white inside our home, but this front porch screams for color with all the white brick. Thanks!
