Other Exterior Colors

• You should consider the colors of your home's shutters, garage door, shingles and exterior when deciding the color of your front door. Make sure the door colors you're considering won't clash with any of the major elements of your home, then look for subtle hues you wish to emphasize with the color of your front door.
  
  

Best and Worst Colors

• According to the Creative Concepts and Contracting website, a study performed in 2009 by Co-Operative Bank Mortgages revealed that buyers prefer houses with white, red, blue, green or brown doors. Most buyers felt that pink, orange, purple, gray and yellow doors take away from a home's beauty.
  
  

Personality

• The color of your door will reflect much of the personality of your home. Various shades of green and red help create a welcoming atmosphere, while black and other dark colors tend to create a formal (though sometimes cold) appearance.
