    I’ve seen light grey homes with trim and doors in red, black and believe it or not, purple. All looked good.

    Red. A rich deep red with lots of brass: door handle, kickplate, big brass knocker, brass mail slot. Full glass storm door with the frame painted the same red to protect the door but not take away from its beauty.

    Many Victorian houses had red doors. It meant God dwelled within. Many Lutheran and Episcopalian churches also paint their doors red for the same reason.
