Classic Burgundy by BM is a great color in High Gloss.

EverGreen, or meadow/ grass green.

I like the fresh green idea for a color, or we also recently did carrot cake that I think was a Pittsburg Paints color. I am in love with that.

I can see a deep bright terra cotta color bringing out the warmth of the brick.

an aqua or a teal would be lovely! :D

red is welcoming, but might blend into the brick.
yellow is (feng shui speaking) supposed to bring wealth into the home.


and just a thought, i would look at getting larger house numbers. or at least in a bold font. they're a little spindly for such a solid facade.

I think that the colour of your front door speaks volumes about your personality and although getting ideas from others is a good idea, pick the colour that tells the world who you are!!!!!

Brick Red always puts out a bold statement without looking like a fire truck.

I agree with aqua or teal--goes great will the brick

A plum color? Or may be a mustard yellow color too if you wanted a little more bold-

BLACK. Use white trim as is. Pay attention to hardware and buy something in nickel....keep it classic.

I'd add red. I think red looks classy with bricks to bring out a pop of color

a blue door would go nicely with the roof and the shutters as well

Mustard yellow is my favorite color for a door.

What is up with the lower shutters with the half shutter look? I would fix that. Then I vote for a blue door, although a French blue;)

Two thoughts....
Traditional look-a high gloss black for door and give lower windows a matching pair of shutters
Traditional with a twist-a lime green or light purple for door

High gloss black

They say Red is a welcoming colour for a front door

Black will make it classy, in high gloss.

Green

red

agree with Black High Gloss. I think you need to remove the 2 shutters on the first floor or add 2 more. It looks like there were shutters before. Unbalanced now

High gloss pumpkin orange or if that's too much for you....high gloss black

Textbook, is this your house or house of client?

Fab front door. Trim around door should be painted separate colour from front door colour.

Is that a vine on left side of house, beside door? Not having one on right side makes house look a bit off-centre. Remove vine & add 2nd shutter to lower windows.

You have been given a lot of opinions, so now your choice, depending on personal taste.

I am not sure red will work well with brick? You want "a pop of colour" , which black will not provide and the front door should always be a unique colour to welcome guests.

The brick is lovely and looks to have lots of tones in it to work with:

BM Hawthorne Yellow would be lovely; as would a more mustard hue, or pumpkin

In blue tones, a turquoise would be different & provide the pop you want. Without paint deck, I cannot recommend colour at the moment. A deeper blue would blend in with black and not provide the pop you want.


This is a lovely house and I can hardly wait to see your "After" shot!

definitely blue--it's a great contrast with the red brick. a red door is not enough of a contrast with your brick.

This is for a customer who had not heard of Houzz before so thank you all for the great feedback! They are getting the bottom shutters replaced. We are keeping the door trim white. Looks like they are leaning toward a yellow... Will update with an "after" pic soon.

So may we see a picture of what you did?

How do these discussions resurface after almost a year? Sure that door must be painted by now!

I painted my door this fall . I have red brick , white trim and now a cherry red door !!! Looks great

Just noticed this is an old post sorry

Yes we did paint the door and trim after painstakingly stripping all of the old paint off. The customer ended up choosing black paint for the door to match the shutters. We will post a picture within a day or so, just have to find it. We were hoping they would go with a shade of yellow or aqua, but they chose a safer route and they were very happy with it.

Looking forward to seeing the photo. Please do post one! I was thinking "black" before realizing the posts were "old." I would love to see an outcome picture. Thank you!

Goodness, you MUST fix that shutter situation! And it would be best to get some shutter dogs so they actually look more like real shutters. This house is a beauty, best to widen front steps, add better railing, and any door color you choose will make this gorgeous thing shine!

I was thinking either gloss red or gloss black for my door. I have a similar house to yours. The more I looked at the shade of brick in my house I had to go with black since the red would have ended up clashing against the orange/red hues in the brick themselves. If I were you I'd do black - I did and it looks awesome. If I had to use a new color I'd do Tardis Blue

Hi Ann, I'll have to see if we have an "after" photo I can post or I may have to drive by the house and take a quick pic to post. They went with a pale yellow color. I think it turned out pretty sharp.

Green . lots of nice shades available
will match the brick.
