Classic Colors for a Front Door

Looking to repaint your front door with the most inviting classic colors for 2021?   This collection of 7 Benjamin Moore paints is perfect for the job and scores extra points with red brick houses, dark wood houses, or any dark brown stucco or siding colors.

No color family is more serene, deep and classic than rich, warm autumn colors.  If you’re looking for an easy refresh for your front porch, I’m happy to share a collection of my favorite front door paint colors today.

These colors will work with lots of different house colors and materials, but especially those in the dark, warm color family – dark wood, deep brown stuccos & sidings and classic red brick.

Special note for brick houses: Red brick houses look best with a rich door color, either light or dark,  but something with lots of saturation.  These door colors will hold their own against the rich red brick color and the strong pattern of brick walls.


Watch the video below to see my collection of the 7 most inviting classic front door colors!



While you’re painting the front door, don’t overlook some other simple updates that have big impact – I’ve created a list of the best doorbells, knobs, knockers, house numbers, planters and porch lights for your 2021 front door update!
