What color for front door?

[candreco]

I feel like the white front door on our house gets lost and is just kind of blah.  What color would you paint it?  Would you paint the side panels too?  My first thought was red, but the neighbor directly across the street has a red door, and I think the brick is too orange to be able to go with a darker red/burgundy.  Maybe black to match the shutters, or navy?

I like the idea of navy - it was my first thought. However, with that color palette, you can do just about anything. What about a teal, or turquoise? Coral?

I love the idea of a nice deep teal, but I don't think DH would go for it. He already vetoed plum, which I thought was pretty conservative as far as actual colors (as opposed to his choices of white, brown or black ) in this case.

My first thought was navy also (or whatever color the shutters are)

What about a nice blue.  Just the door, not the side panels.

We may have a winner- this one got an "I could live with that" out of DH, lol.  I really do like the brighter blue a lot!
