What color should I paint our front door? PIP

  this is our new door (trim needs to go up, forgive the messy shot)

 The home is painted a light yellow with white trim.  The door in this picture was painted Caribbean Sea.  I liked it but wanted to go with something lighter.

   Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  TIA.

lol   I realized that after I posted and ran.

I prefer your color with the color of your house.

I think the color of our front door would look great with yellow (Sherwin Williams' HGTV Home Hazel)

The blue in the photo is nice,but if that is too bright for you, consider a lighter blue or a blue/gray color. 

Another colorwould be a shade of green.

I like the idea of green with a yellow house.

Are you into feng shui?

Which direction does the door face?

sugardumpling

I don't know too much about feng shui but the door faces north.

FWIW, feng shui says the north is to quiet and isolated for an entrance so "to boost the positive chi energy, red paintwork, shiny metal fittings, lights, and metal windchimes. " I don't think red is what you had in mind. I know especially fire engine red, but there are tons of shades of red. Also there is red in the flag as well as spring, summer, and fall flowers.
