What are some popular colors to paint a front door?

Popular colors to paint a front door include red, yellow, blue and purple. The right shade for a front entrance functions as the ideal accessory for the overall curb appeal of the house and makes a welcoming statement to those who visit.

A red front door is warm and inviting. It coordinates well with many other exterior shades and offers a pop of color to a white or gray house. Either a bright or deep red is a popular choice.

Yellow makes a cheerful choice to paint a front door and is especially appropriate for cottage-style homes. Excellent choices are a bright yellow with a hint of lime or a warm golden shade of yellow.

A rich shade of blue is a calming and welcoming color for a front entrance. It goes well with stone or brick as well as with painted exteriors.

Purple is a sophisticated and somewhat unexpected option for a front door color. A dusty purple shade works well with modern or traditional exteriors and adds an extra layer of interest to the home's curb appeal.
