Mellow Yellow

This door has a sleek modern look thanks to a glass and wood frame door made of Douglas fir and painted a spunky shade of yellow. The neutral gray fiber cement siding and the warm tones of the wood siding provide the perfect showcase for this main entrance. www.vergead.com

Pretty Pine

A strong, bold color for your front door can take center stage without upstaging the exterior color palette. The graphite siding and gunmetal eaves are stylish touches that complement the tequila-lime door. awarchitect.com

You don't have to paint your door a bold color to achieve a striking effect. Sometimes the color of natural wood or stain can bring out the brilliant artistry behind a door, like this 4-inch-thick mahogany beauty accented with bronze hardware. www.nfcarchitect.com
