Need to pick a proper garage door color, help!

10 years ago

OK...I have to make a decision on a 3-car garage door color. My house is not finished, yet, but I attached a pic (note the dumpster is covering a single car garage door...but there won't be stone on that part of house). Please note the gray in the picture is going to be painted Boothbay Blue by the time I move in. Thus, I have Boothbay Blue and an off-white trim, but the wild card is the stone (which will be going on the unfinished areas in the picture). It's a very light stone. My front door is going to be a cherry wood. The second picture I posted is of another house that also is boothbay blue and has the exact same stone so you can get an idea. The garage doors will be carriage-style doors with 6-pane windows at the top (regardless of what finish I pick).

I feel I have 4 options. White....almond (which is closest to the stone color)...blue to match the house.....or a cherry/mahogany faux wood. I know people think white is boring but it would match the trim. The almond would be closest to the stone. The blue would match the house....but I don't know, blue garage doors? Anyone ever seen that actually look good? Finally...wood....to match my front door. However, my fear with wood is this would be a big contrast to the light stone color....so some might think this is an eyesore, too. I know people say garage doors should not be the focal point of a house. However, wood ones always look so nice...especially if the wood is broken up with windows. Thoughts?
