Black Door
The front door at our previous house was a dark hunter green when we bought it and I painted it bright red. I loved it, but I'm not sure if I want red again since I've been there and done that. By the way, we drove by our old house a few months ago and the door was still red. I painted it that color almost 10 years ago! I can't believe no one has changed it.
Red Door
What about a yellow door? I think this is really pretty.
Bright Yellow Door
Blue is pretty too.
Blue Door
And here's a nice green.
Green Door
What color do you like best for a front door? I'm kind of leaning toward the yellow at the moment but I haven't decided for sure.

I don't like the green. I don't like yellow either, but you can always repaint it if it doesn't look good. I would go with a blue. Turquoise is a hot color right now.

I love the red ...then the blue.
I am also a fan of glossy black.
Think British Prime Minister @ 10 Downing Street.

I suppose it would work only on certain houses, though. :)
Can't wait to see what you decide!!!
The yellow is diffent I like it! I like to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and they have these little paint booklets (free) And they give you ideas for 3 colors the body the trim and a accent which is usally the door. See what they have as somthing to go with your colors.
I would go with a red door, as red is supposed to scare away demons and bad omens from your home! :)
In order of personal preference: blue, red, green, yellow. Good luck with your choice!
I'm not a fan of the yellow. I do like the blue one since you've already had red and black.
I love the blue and green, my dorr is a deep red right now. I knwo that yellow would drive me crazy with my little one geeting it all mudddy all the time that would be my main deterant to that color, even though it's pretty.
If a lighter color I would go for Chartreuse. http://www.curlinreedsullivan.com/blog/archive/2008_11_01_index.html
but, then again green is my favorite color and with a s[iffy garden I think it would look awesome.
I've never thought of yellow as a door color, but it's very cheerful.
The black, blue and red are my favorites. I like to use the little paint books from Lowes and Home Depot too - they are helpful. We will be painting soon too!
Go with Turquoise! It will really make a POP! Espesh with the black iorn work!
The yellow is awesome! U might try purple as well :) GL on your choice!
I am partial to blue, but I also like red. For your door I would go with red. But a red with a blue undertone, not an orange undertone.

I think Red or blue, too light and it will show dirt. So happy to see you blogging again! Love your blog.
I think the blue is too similar to the gray you already have.
My preference in this order:
Red
Green
Yellow
Yellow I haven't seen much on a front door, though I think it would make a statement. ;-)
A deep autum orange. i was playing on the valspare website and I painted a light yellow house with tan shutters with this deep orange it looked awesome!
Our door is blue w/ bright brass kickplate/knob. I love it! But this is all about YOU! Life's too short - do what calls to you. If yellow is what makes you happy when you wander up to your front door, keep it! Otherwise, keep pretty urns of flowers on either side until you find just the right combo for you! :) Thanks for inviting s along!!
So let me know how this ends out. I have been thinking I want to paint our front door, but I don't know what color. Right now it's white.
Ha ha - I like it just the way it is - I like the classic look of the black as it goes with the iron railing you also have.
