Bright Orange Front Door

A punchy shade of orange is a sure-fire way to draw attention to your front door. A vibrant tangerine color makes a surprising splash on this spacious front porch painted white. Light blue shutters and lush boxwoods lining the front walkway complement the front door without competing with it. Suggested Paint Color: Navel SW 6887, Sherwin-Williams

Electric Blue Front Door

Blue front doors are a popular exterior color choice, but this electric shade kicks the intensity up a notch. The color is simple yet striking, especially when painted on these traditional-style doors. Choose a bright shade of blue without too much gray in it, so your door doesn’t fade into the background.

Kiwi Green Front Door

A green front door can accentuate your front landscaping, while drawing contrast with a neutral exterior. To play up the green theme, accessorize your front porch with containers of lush plants, such as the Boston ferns flanking this doorway. Choose pots in analogous colors (which are side-by-side on the color wheel), such as blue or yellow, for a colorful, yet cohesive look. Suggested Paint Color: Gleeful P380-5, Behr

Periwinkle Front Door

A blend of baby blue and lavender, periwinkle looks particularly lovely on front doors with decorative details (the shade shown here is on a pretty potting shed). Consider repeating the light purple hue on shutters or trim to strengthen the color scheme. Reinforce the romantic feel with containers overflowing with pink blooms. Suggested Paint Color: Blue Hyacinth PPG1245-5, PPG

Bright Yellow Front Door

Choose a vibrant shade of yellow for a happy-looking, high-energy front door. Especially against dark exteriors, the sunny color is highly visible from the street, which draws the eye, transforming your entry into a focal point. Surround a yellow front door with white trim to set it apart from the siding. Suggested Paint Color: Yellow Highlighter 2021-40, Benjamin Moore

Purple Front Door

Purple isn’t a color you often see on home exteriors, but in small doses, it’s undeniably gorgeous. Try a rich purple hue on your front door, then repeat the shade in flower boxes or garden beds. Choose a glossy finish to add an extra-glamorous touch. Suggested Paint Color: Just A Fairytale P560-6, Behr

Chartreuse Front Door

A shade somewhere between neon green and yellow, chartreuse is a dynamic, vibrant color. That makes it an ideal hue for exteriors that could use an extra energy boost. Try this front door color against a traditional brick facade for an unexpected contemporary spin. When paired with other neutral colors, like dark navy or white, the color really pops.
