Help with doorknobs and hinges...and front door color!

Hi all.. We are finishing up a remodel of our second floor only. Not our choice..hurricane sandy downed a tree which crushed our second floor. Anyway, were in the final stages of our renovation. We have a side hall colonial house which we re-sided with grey cedar shake (vinyl siding) with white trim and black shutters. I have always dreamed of a red front door. I do not like orangey reds though. Either a nice true red like bm heritage red or more of a cranberry color. Will those look good? Should I keep the door white instead? My front door hardware is polished brass.

Also inside of the house, I wanted to put in glass knobs. I just love the look of glass knobs and was looking to use the emtek old town clear knob on an ORB regular rosette on all interior doors. The doors are six panel white. . My questions...are glass knobs totally the wrong choice for a colonial style house? What about ORB? I tend to lean towards a more traditional style. I'm not a fan of modern really.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
