Colorful Front Doors
I am drawn to homes that have unique front door colors and crave something beyond the normal white, black or burgundy. Give me a unique color that tells me something about its occupants!
I love being able to say, we’re the only house on the street with the coral-pink doors. In my book, you need to Go Bold or Go Home!
Get out that paintbrush and show your true colors with this gallery of Bright & Bold Colorful Front Doors.
Before we get started, a little disclaimer. I’m very good at eyeballing paint colors, but I am only human. There are so many factors that go into choosing a paint color. Time of day, time of year, weather, and your surroundings will all affect the perception of color. Throw in the mix that you’re viewing these images on your electronic device which can only make up colors using a combination of Red, Green, and Blue. For that reason, I highly recommend using one of these colors as your springboard. Get similar paint chips near the ones you like and hold them up to your front door during different times.
I go into a lot more detail about how to choose paint colors in this comprehensive article.
Front Door Paint Colors Pictures
Over the years I’ve collected quite an assortment of photos of colorful front doors.
Some are from my travels to Iceland, Scotland, England, France, and other old towns in the US. Near me in Raleigh, Cameron Park is one of my favorite neighborhoods to find inspiration. It is tucked between Oberlin & Hillsborough Street. The houses are old and the trees are ancient. But, there seems to be an ongoing competition for the boldest and brightest front doors. I used Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, and Valspar color deck to choose an approximate match for each door.
If you are considering a new paint color for your door using any of these colors, be sure to paint a large sample on poster board and hold it up to your door first. Keep in mind, some of the colors may need two coats before you see the true color.

And just in case you have a lust for the international palette, these are a few doors I spotted overseas.
Iceland has loads of colorful doors because they typically use metal and stucco on their homes. The colorful doors add punch to an otherwise bland house color scheme.
Once you travel to France, Spain, and England you find yourself surrounded by stone homes. They also love to paint doors in vibrant colors.
Talk about WOW factor! I found this green door online HERE.
And if that isn’t enough to catch your attention, look what Allison Cosmos did to this door:
My all time favorite front door photo is this one from The Impatient Gardener. Could you tell that I’m drawn to blues?
Back at the Pretty Handy Girl abode, my home’s doors were purple for over 7 years.

After that, I decided to add some vibrancy and paint the front doors an amazing green.

Before I painted them, I had to strip many layers of paint off them. If you ever need to strip paint off your front door, I have some tips and a tutorial for you.
But, I’m notorious for wanting to change things in and around my house. A few years ago, we needed to replace siding and I decided to paint the whole house a new color palette.
