Front Door Paint Colors
Curated door color schemes — each pairs the door color with a clean trim, a wall tone and a hardware accent, in real, buyable paints. Browse by color or door type, tap any scheme to open it as an editable palette, or try it on a photo.
A great front door colour pairs a confident door tone with a clean trim, a coordinated wall and the right hardware finish. Browse curated schemes below by colour or door type — each in real, buyable paint with codes.
A door scheme works with four roles: the door color (the accent — front doors can be bold), the trim (frame and casing, usually a clean white or contrast), the wall behind it (a neutral facade or interior wall), and the hardware (handle and hinges — matte black or warm brass). A front door takes a hard-wearing satin or semi-gloss exterior paint; an interior door, a durable satin.
Browse by door color or door type. Each scheme shows door, trim, wall and hardware in real paints.
Every color maps to a real paint code, and the calculator estimates how much you need.
Our color tools run on our own catalogue of 26,000+ real paint colors across 16 brands — Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, Dulux, RAL and more — with the color math (HSL and CIELAB matching) computed in-house, not scraped from summaries. Every color you pick maps to a real, buyable paint with its code, so what you see here you can actually take to the store. We review and update these tools and their data regularly.
