Help! Garage Door Color

8 years ago

This house is getting a new garage door -- a modern flush ( Long vertical flush panels ) to add a more clean modern look.


The great debate is color. Please send recommendations.


Options are::

1. White

2. Black

3. Grey!?


Thanks in advance!!!

    The house is nearly white -- The photo quality is just awful!

    Id love to avoid painting the new garage door if possible.

    The front door and exterior lights are black which is kinda why we thought black...

    Agree with body of house, but if you want to avoid painting it I guess white. Definitely not black, it will only emphasize it & look like a big black hole. And simple ( no grids ) on the windows if you’re having them.

    On my monitor your house stucco appears pinkish. If you want to update, I would paint the entire house. If it is white IRL, maybe a different white color and different trim color would help. Agree with the others, paint the white garage door to match the siding color. But I would urge you to change your siding color first,

    Have it installed and see what you think. It's not going anywhere. :) Can always paint it later.

    I agree with K Laurence., black isn't an option. Also, it looks like you live in a sunny climate. A black garage door (black anything exposed to the sun) is crazy pants because it will absolutely roast in the sun.

    I am uploading another pic in hopes the color is more accurate to what it is in real life.

    Black would indeed be crazy pants because we live in the sunshine state. What bunch of rookies!

    Thanks everyone for all the input. Super appreciated!

    I am open to painting the trim color to make it more modern -- Trim color suggestions? Would painting it all white be weird?

    It could be the trim color that is pulling the pink out of your white stucco. I'm still seeing pink tinges in the stucco. I am also in the sunshine state (Palm Beach county) and I remember that trim color from the 1990's. Do you actually need a new garage door? If you do, remember to get a wind mitigation report once the new garage door is in place. It will save you substantially on your homeowners insurance windstorm premium.

    Try painting your trim color to a new color and I think you will see a huge difference in your home.

    Also, work with a landscape designer to put together a great landscape plan. We have fantastic opportunities here for landscaping.

    ETA: I see you posted while I was typing my post. I'm just too slow sometimes:)

    There is nothing wrong with white on white.

    ^I love this white. Still would do the white garage door and paint it the same color as the white on your siding so the whites aren't different.
