Yes, remove the shutters on the lower window.

If your house faces South or west, I would not paint the front door black, pretty hot to the touch. my choice would be a muted green or blue,

^Agree regarding no black or dark color. It could create a black hole since the door’s recessed. Colors from Lyn are nice...or maybe a soft yellow. Yes, remove the shutters from the large window.

Thanks, I was thinking of a blueberry/mid-blue. Do you think I have to change my address plaque, which is burgundy? Is there a front door color that might work with it that is not red or black?

That soft yellow would work with the plaque and the brick, and see how nicely the soft yellow goes with the gray in the inspo by chloebud.

No Blue with red brick, IMO. The Aqua shown is nice but I would get black numbers in that case.

Your roof looks greenish (could just be in the picture - does it look like that in person?). If so, the blue you're describing would clash. You would have to repaint the shutters on the upstairs windows for sure. Get a large board or piece of drywall to sample colors. What color are the shutters? They look really close to the color of the roof.

The roof is a medium gray and the shutters are black. you may be seeing pollen. no green cast at all.

I'd paint the half moon the color of the trim

Maybe you can take a closer photo of just the entryway showing both the storm door and the front door that's inside the vestibule. The door is rather hidden in there so likely need a bright punch of color for both doors.

Slate Blue would be nice and low profile.

I like the yellow idea. I agree that a deep blue would not work. You need a warmer color. Maybe a coral.

Coral for screen door and front door (rough sketch...not paint colors)

Soft yellow with arch same as siding

SW Rain with gray arch same as trim

Wow, I never would have guessed the shutters were black from the photos. Have you thought of painting the door the same color as the address plaque? You could paint the bricks also if you can find a paint that would hold up to the weather. Otherwise, I would go with the coral to pickup the color of the brick. I thinks the arch should be the color of the siding as other's have suggested.

love coral for a friendly front door - I have my eye on this color for a new front door - BM Golden Gate

Keep the raspberry door. Do not go with a navy or black - too dark - ugh. More important - remove the fake shutters - they make the house look cheap. Shutters need to be real and functional, or not at all. They are often seen on mobile homes if that says anything.
