front door color advice needed please

last year

My mother would like to change the color of her front door. She would like to use a shade of blue. She plans to paint the front door trim white. She does not want to repaint/change the color of anything else.

The blues she has pointed out to me thus far include sherwin Williams lakeshore and Georgian blue. She also mentioned the color to be lighter than navy and darker than hydrangea.

Question: do you think a blue can work in the existing color scheme or clash?

Sorry, not seeing it myself without changing the siding and shutters. Even then, the brown brick is working against a blue being a successful pairing. It looks like the landscaping could use a little help. Maybe an investment there would help her love her home more. Right now the door looks like it is a creamier color than the siding. I think it should be the siding color (not white), but this is not a huge issue. There are probably a lot of people who wouldn't notice the difference. I think a brown door like the shutters would be sad. Maybe a new door with more window area would appeal to her?

I'd pick a shade close to the one in this pic, but a bit paler and more muted. I would not paint the trim around the door white, as it would clash with the cream siding. I'd consider painting the shutters. But blue and brown can go well together.

I think she might like a gray-blue close to the shade of the sky in your picture. And if she's willing to spend just a little more money, I would suggester bigger lights on either side of the door, in brass or whatever matches the door handle. And a bush in that empty spot beside the door to make both sides match. if there is room for it, it would look great to add a small tree at either corner of the house that would grow up to about 2/3 the height of the house. With just a little TLC this could be a very cute house!

On my monitor, the siding color appears similar to Behr Twinkling Lights. A suggested coordinating color is Behr Cowgirl Blue.

No to the blue. Follow kandrewspa and Sheila recommendation of door and trim color to match siding, larger lights and seasonal wreaths on the front door for that welcoming pop of color and warmth.

No to white trim around the door. There is no white trim any where to be seen. Paint the trim around the front do the color of the vinyl siding.
