How to choose a front door color.

9 years ago

I am painting the exterior of my house and need to choose a front door color that will compliment my home. I am using the original door that is there. Any thoughts on what color would best suit the style of the house as well as the door. Thanks for helping me out on this in advance.

Really? Based on the information you have given us, I would tell you to use a complementary color.

Hard to advise with no info or pics. Also, this would get better response posted in the home decor forum.
