41 Prettiest Colors To Paint Your Front Door
The easiest (and most affordable) way to make a good first impression.

The best front door colors have the ability to shift your mood. Walking up the stairs to your porch is like crossing the finish line after a long day. To get you across the threshold with extra pep in your step, you need a bold front door color for a boost. It's time to make your home the most memorable in the neighborhood for all the right reasons.
Painting your door is an affordable fix that will actually make your house sell for more money. While red is one of the most popular front door colors, the pigment that's actually worth your while is darker than you think. Zillow research found that a black door can help a home sell for an estimated $6,449 more. Bethany Adams, an interior designer based in Lousiville, Kentucky, says, "It's easy for potential home buyers to imagine their own potentially more colorful furnishings in rooms that are painted gray or another dark neutral."
Not moving? No problem! Commit to a cheerful yellow shade or keep things peaceful with a soft blue. Feel at one with nature with a leafy, evergreen door or fired up for the door with a statement-making red. Whatever you choose, your front door paint color sets the scene for the beauty to come within your home. Your guests' expectations about the space they're about to enter are based in large part on your door—it's their first and last impression! If you're looking for ways to give your home a quick refresh, keep scrolling to see designer examples and get inspiration from our extensive archives.
