The style and orientation of the house influences the garage door design.

A black garage door gathers all the solar gain and really heats up your garage. It will also pop out any windows in it, from the expansion and contraction that such heating produces. It's one of the worst ideas that you can have from a longevity and energy efficiency standpoint. I is also a giant featureless black hole on a home façade, making it a big focal point of void. A garage is best viewed as a necessary evil, rather than THE focal point of the build. Have it fade into the background by using the same color as the home's main body.
