Help me pick house colors

Hello ladies!  I'm happy to announce that DH and I finally closed on our new home.  We want to paint the exterior, but are having trouble picking colors.  So this is a two part poll.

1) We want a black or red door.  Which do you like?

2) So once you pick a door color, what colors would you use for the house, trim, and roof? (We have a flat tile roof)

TIA!

Re: Help me pick house colors

  • I have a ton of homes in my neighborhood that have red doors. I LOVE red doors. We have a black one now and it's just not the same, :/.
     
    Most of the homes with red doors where I live are painted tan/beige-ish colors. I would also consider a light blue/gray color with a red door. There is one like this down the street and it is beautiful.
     
     
    p.s. I would definitely recommend checking out the bios over on the D&R board. Those girls are amazing!

    He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

  • congrats...I think we need pictures to help :)

    we had a red door growing up, and I loved it. it's fun and unique

  • I personally like both colors, it depends on the exterior of the house. Red doors look good with houses with darker roofs and a tan/beige exterior. I would paint the wood frame white around it. Black doors look good on more Spanish style homes with terracotta roofs or dark rooks and I would keep the trim around it black.

    Either way you can't go wrong and I think it'll look beautiful. Congratulations on your new home! 

  • I like both, but I think I prefer red doors. 

    I put a pic of my brother's house on your FB wall, they have a red door with grayish/beige shutters and windows. I love it!

     

  • Love the idea of a red door!

  • Congrats on closing on your house!!!!! 

    I say go with the red door!!!!  =)

  • Congrats on your new home. I would totally go with a red door.
  • Thanks for the responses ladies. I think we are going with the red door with a dark roof and white trim.  For the main color we are going to check out some samples in the white/gray/beige/tan family
