Our house is white stucco. I painted our front door bright yellow. It really does make a difference in freshening up the look of the house. Also want to put on a metal security door so I'm looking for a nice looking one.

I like the color and think it will look great. I too want to paint my front door. We live on the water and have a white house trimmed in a bit of gray. I am going for a blue shade ...it is currently white and I think we need some color on this house. I am looking at your selected shade and think that might work for me too. I like the blue green combo.

Stratton Blue would look pretty with white.

I googled Stratton Blue and LOVE IT...it is so Coastal and it matches some of the furniture the inside of my house. Thanks for the suggestion. I am so excited to paint my front door....can't wait to do it. I would love to hear back about you colorful front door after completion.

Our house is very light tan with slightly darker trim and our front door is a pretty bright coral . We like it very much

Dreamon, how exciting!. I am hoping to get the paint and start my project. Let me know how yours turns out.

I LOVE red doors! From bright red to rusty red--LOVE them. That being said, ours is BLUEBERRY! And I love that too. Garage door should match the house color I would think. I hardly ever see one painted a color other than the house or possibly trim if that almost matches the house.

Your color looks beautiful, but you might want to get a sample of that, and a sample of something else--maybe just a little brighter, and see how it looks. Live with it for a few days and see it in different lights. All the neighbors you see will comment on the colors and you can have fun talking about it! Picking out paint is hard and I always like to get a sample and see it in place and how it actually looks.

What color are the bricks of your house? Have you gone to the Benjamin Moore site color visualizer? Only drawback is they don't let you select a roof color, but maybe by putting in your brick color and trim color you can see how the Newburg Green would look for the door.

Sorry, don't know how to put in a link. Hope this doesn't upset the webmaster.

My front door is dark burgandy, and my shutters are a dark black/green. The front door stands out nicely and I always have some sort of wreath or decoration on the door. We have a clear screen that keeps the door wreath protected from the sun.

I think the front door should standout from the rest of the house....and I do like the color you picked out!

HGTV Magazine always has front door makeovers. They all feature bright doors...maybe you can check them out online.

You don't need to have the door and the garage doors matching...in fact, a brightly colored front door will pop more w/o any competition from the big garage door!

My house is yellow - soft yellow, with oyster white trim. The front door is forest green. The garage doors are yellow, like the house. However, my garage doors are on the front of the house and the "front" door is on the side.

Personally I like front doors painted a different color than the trim and that newburg green color looks really nice. It would be a nice punch against the brick. Our house is yellow and our door is red. After we painted the door red several of our neighbors also painted their doors red. I would leave the garage door tan to keep the front door the focal point.

I like front doors that have a real punch of color. I'd pick a brighter shade than the green the OP chose. I have a tan brick house with cream and turquoise trim and a coral double front door. I think the Newburgh Green would recede and be nondescript.
