The door I guess would be merely an accent color - question is what color is the body of the house?

Red has been really overdone for front doors. Eggplant is a new classic. Or consider a med. to dark blue. In my humble opinion....

Heritage Red

Be sure to brush on your sample(s) and look at them in both direct sunlight and shade, since every color takes on a different appearance based on the lighting in which it is found.

If you have a large, shaded front porch, then that's the type of light you want to use to compare and evaluate colors.

Red white and black is a classic look for a traditional home like a Colonial. It can be a great look, if the red isn't too purple or bright. Which is difficult in paint pigments, because a lot of the newer red tints aren't true reds. The most often used red, is red oxide, which is exactly the rust color that it sounds like. It's a natural pigment, and less prone to fading, which is why the slightly oranger tones of red tend to last longer.

Reds fades the most from UV exposure, so online pictures can be many different shades of red to pink and still be "the same" color. You may be painting every couple of years of you have direct western sun and one of the brighter reds. You need to consider cardinal direction, overhangs, adjacent landscaping, and anything that reflects towards the entrance. The browner rustier reds are more traditional, and will last longer between paint jobs.

Red also needs a tinted primer, and at least 3 coats to be able to get the correct color. It's a lot of work. Which idea why it's most often done in small doses like just a door.

Reds need many coats to be true to the color on the chip, my painter says 5 .

You can get samples of the finalists and put a large poster board example with 5 coats in the location. Let it sit there a few days as you come and go. Get your feeling on it. Try another. I like Heartthrob but it'll depend on your light.

OP - a lot of reds will throw off a purple cast when the sun hits them or when they are in very bright indirect light - having some brown in the red helps with that, FYI. What direction does your door face and what is the rest of the house like in style and color? You're getting suggestions in a vacuum and can test colors from now until forever at that rate.
