My home is currently gray, white trim and the interior doors are all one shade of gray darker than the walls. We are in the process of replacing all the doors with solid, 5 panel doors and have the same question. We like the look now but wondered if we should go with all white. The hallway is small and with the 5 panel doors, white may be too stark. Looking for answers as you are.

If you're selling in the next 5 years, go white. If not, go whatever direction moves you!
(PS - Do consider white also if you want to consider straying from the gray theme in a room or two.) I found gray a little cold when I lived in a condo with self-inflicted gray walls & carpet.

When doing doors an accent color is a nice detail and 9 out of 10 times it looks great, but if you are planning to sell your home soon go with the basic white or off white but if you are staying for a while go for it , it's a very distinguished look

Sandi, your grey doors are awesome, leave them!
Mindyluck, I used to have black gloss doors with white trim in my home and LOVED it. Go either direction, grey or black, they will both look fantastic!
