Home is white colonial - what color for front door?
We are painting our house. It will be all white with Charleston Green trim. I would like to add a real pop of beautiful color to the front door. I think the "Talbots red" front door is elegant, but several people in my neighborhood already have that. Does anyone have a suggestion for another equally good looking color?

This is just a thought, but maybe a deep gold that would go well with your green might work? I'm not thinking of anything bright, but a very deep, earthy gold. Let us know what you choose and how it looks!

I know you want a "pop" of color, by which I assume you mean "bright." But honestly, to maintain a classic look I don't think there's any other shade that will look good. With charleston green trim, the best look would be a glossy black, a lighter option would be a dark taupe. It's hard to make anything else look as sophisticated and classic.

First ask for your spouse's opinion. You will have to live with that longer than a door that can be changed for less than $20.00
After living in VA, I decided that there is far too many green trim/accents there.
How about a flat or satin graphite with some dark brown tones for the door to warm it a bit?
