Help me choose a door color, please!

6 years ago

Hi all: This photo shows a remodel in progress. We plan to paint the body of the house in Benjamin Moore's Sag Harbor Gray (entire body, including gables), the outside window trim in BM Gloucester (outside window trim), and leave the sashes the existing warm cream color. The porch/deck railings will also be painted that same cream color. (FYI, the fence near the front of the photo is now black so it doesn't compete visually with the rest of the craziness on the house.)


Question: What color should the balcony door and entry door / side lights be painted?


We especially need the entry to attract attention. It's in a really odd spot. (The garage and driveway are to the left of the house, so you have to walk all the way across the front deck and up a second flight of stairs to reach the front door.) Also, despite the fact that this elevation faces south and gets loads of sun, the front door is in shadow all day under the porch roof, so we need something bright that will pop.
