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

Get Natural

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

Think Outside the Red Box

Red is a popular traditional color for front doors but can be overused. Keep things fresh with details like vertical glass inserts. www.vergead.com

Orange Crush

San Francisco's colorful, idiosyncratic vibe is reflected in this painted wood door with matching glass panels set off against a white door frame and light yellow siding. huoarchitects.com

Up in This Grill

A custom-made door featuring aluminum banding grillwork and stainless fasteners sets off this intense red door frame. http://susanwallace.net/

Everything Old Is New Again

A western red cedar door painted sage green provides a subtle contrasting color to the dark greens in this romantic Old World look villa—a collaboration between Noel Cross+Architects and landscape designer Christopher Yates. www.nfcarchitect.com

Blue Mood

The combination of modern blue color and soft frosted glass makes for an elegant front door. www.vergead.com

Light Bright

Shiny red powder-coated steel and frosted glass make a dramatic impression in this contemporary door design. awarchitect.com

Wood Works!

This 9-foot-tall custom glass and reclaimed barn wood door creates an artful entry. Want the look? Hit up designer Kenny Craft, who worked with Reclaimed Lumber Products in Nampa, Idaho. www.craftdesign-studio.com

Orange You Glad to See Me?

This eye-catching front door design from the San Francisco area combines wood painted a poppy orange with opaque glass panels for privacy. awarchitect.com

Whimsical Web

Designer Susan Wallace calls this fun front door design Spidey Dreams. "My client's two boys are superhero fans and loaned me their precious Spider-Man book for inspiration." susanwallace.net

Mix and Match

Create a door to remember with a unique color palette. This front door, painted Teal Zeal, is given a crown jewel setting with door frame colors of Root Beer (Olympic Paint) and Acorn Yellow (Benjamin Moore). www.craftdesign-studio.com
