The color you choose for your front door ultimately defines your house in terms of class, style, and taste. There are several front door color ideas that you can choose from — however, they should fit in with the overall palette of your home. If your home has red brick and white siding, choosing the right door color can be challenging.

Choosing your front door color will depend on the color of your house, your preferences, and how you’ve decorated your front yard, porch, or entrance. The decoration around the door including external frames and arches matters too. Here are five bold front door colors and tips on how to pick them.

1. THE BRIGHT WHITE DOOR

Wondering when to use the bright white front door colour ideas? Well, if your exterior house colours are any dark colours including grey, deep cream, maroon, and the like.  A bright white door always blends with a bright white exterior pediment on the door. Add a well-patterned arch to it and you have yourself an elegantly defined home. The good thing about white is that it goes with everything — including itself.

2. COBALT BLUE DOOR FOR THE REDBRICK HOUSE

Brick houses vary in color depending on iron content used to make them and the temperature as well. Brick red is a deep color, hence you cannot use any shade of red if elegance is what you’re out for. This means maroon, pink, and such shades are a risk you might not want to take.

On the other hand, you can’t go for a bright (screaming) color like orange or yellow. An excellent bold choice would be a cobalt blue painted front door. Cobalt grey would also match. However, both of these shades do better with a plain white thick exterior door frame.

3.     FRONT DOOR COLORS FOR BROWN BRICK HOMES

Here goes society’s favourite home color that extensively defines wealth. Brown is such an old school colour where the wealthy — back then — loved using brown bricks for designing the house exterior. Decorating such doors is quite easy with many front door colour ideas at hand.

Let’s start with brown itself being a great colour option. Brown brick can’t be entirely defined as a dark colour. Depending on its shade, it can be a bright deep colour. This means that another shade of this scheme would perfectly match it. Let’s say your house bricks are cinnamon brown, a tawny or brunette door will fit in perfectly. Even a chocolate door will bring your house to taste. However, not all shades of brown would fit in. Aside from brown itself, a brown brick house would be well complemented by colours like grey, black, white, or mahogany.
