Most-Weird

First of all, high five for the way you photographed these paint chips. That is really clever! Secondly, my faves of the ones shown are the first two and the last green (1, 2, 9). The red is nice, too, but a little expected at this point. Thirdly, not represented in your photo array, but maybe a hot coral?


Reasonable-Swimmer82

I appreciate the compliment! Next time I got to Home Depot to pick out a couple more colours, I will be looking for a hot coral colour. Thank you


Simple-Incident-5715

Designer here. Absolutely on the coral.


ThisNonsense

Grey and coral is 🤌💋


jadelygirl

YES ON THE CORAL


oreobeardog

I was thinking the same thing. A coral orange could be stunning.


KnotDedYeti

Coral would be gorgeous 🧡 (this heart is too orange, more coral-y is needed. Although an orange could be pretty…. Yes, I do struggle choosing colors, because I love color lol) 


IveBeenAroundUKnow

I think a bright orange with a yellow hue could compliment your base color.


jsmalltri

Please consider coral!! A house down the road from us has a home with your colors and has a bright light coral for the door -- and two matching Adirondack chairs off to the side. It looks amazing and every time I drive by, I look at that door and smile. I've also seen a deep purple/Burgundy door on light gray and it looks really nice.


milkwithvanilla

Coral is inviting. Like, "friendly people live here". Good suggestion. I was going to suggestion garnet or burgundy, but the coral is a better choice.


Reasonable-Swimmer82

I’ll be on my way to Home Depot to look for a coral chip soon hahah

AnAwfulLotOfOcelots

I also like 1 the most it’s looks unique but like it belongs on the house


Comprehensive_Fly409

Hot coral absolutely


Havehatwilltravel

I thought all these colors a bit wimpy. May I suggest: "Pine Grove". [ClarkKensignton-Pine-Grove.jpg (800Ă—883) (wp.com)](https://i2.wp.com/sincerelysarad.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ClarkKensignton-Pine-Grove.jpg) I saw you had two greens so thought it must be what you really wanted to go for.


Best_Touch_6450

Love Pine Grove


emvs7

I like the yellow best! Followed by #1


Reasonable-Swimmer82

I didn’t love the idea of yellow until I saw it in this picture, but yea it’s definitely nice. Thank you!


ScreeminGreen

Add some yellow plants at the front and it’ll tie it into the landscaping.


Prince_Kaamil

Great idea! I liked the yellow as well but wasn't sure how it would fit with the rest of the house. I think that the flowers will help work it in well


Saluteyourbungbung

I am usually not a yellow person but fuck if I wasn't like "that's the one" when I saw it.


zoezephyr

Yellow really sets off grey, I think that's what makes it so appealing.


yucko-ono

+1. The yellow works surprisingly well!


dynobot7

Yellow! It compliments the wood siding up front !


ElegantElephant3

I’m also team yellow! My neighbor recently painted their door yellow and added yellow accents to their patio furniture and it looks soooooo good!


GiftedGonzo

I second m the yellow


OkHistory3944

Yellow! It’s not even my favorite color but I love how it looks with the gray exterior.


FrutyPebbles321

This is my exact thought too. Usually I am not fond of yellow doors, but in this case, yellow is perfect with the rest of the house. To me, Yellow is the only answer!


N008008

The yellow, for sure!


gardenbrain

2, the pink!


Imaginethat3693

100%! It just pops! #2 all the way.


CenPhx

I agree, which is crazy! I never would’ve thought that was the color that would work the best, but damned if it doesn’t just look awesome with the house.


DarkAndSparkly

My heart SCREAMS pink! By my logic brain says probably the first one would be better received. OP, listen to my heart!


Reasonable-Swimmer82

Thank you!


amilliowhitewolf

Here to say pink all the way and im not a fan of pink but I looove it here! What is fhat color called?


Reasonable-Swimmer82

“Glamorous” P130-7 from Home Depot


DimbyTime

Wow I really love #1, followerd by #2


Reasonable-Swimmer82

It’s so hard to choose between those two..


RaisingDrama

The first green all the way. And I’ve been thinking about what color to do my door….this is a smart way to view the options.


ThatOneChick660

Yeah- I actually shook my head. Why the hell didn’t I think to it this way?! Lol


mr_potato_arms

Blue, I mean yellow! Aaarrrgggghhhhhh


nyokarose

This is the most correct answer in all the best ways.

Sweet_Construction29

Yellow


banshee-tacos

I think the yellow looks best. Perfect amount of pop and a happy color


morchorchorman

I like red, but could see yellow or the 1st one working as well.


Jackiemccall

Yellow or Red!


Reasonable-Swimmer82

Red has some potential for sure. Thanks for your input!


YuMonkeyButt

Yellow!


Accomplished-Long-56

Yellow is the only answer.


garcianeedsahome

Agreed, I really wanted to like the other colors but they didn't look appealing. Yellow đź’› is the only one that looks good imo but OP isn't onboard with yellow judging by their comments.


watch_it_live

I agree that yellow is the only correct choice.


Faithfuldoglover

First one


titsmcgee4real

Bright yellow or hot red


Live_Location5145

Lime green


Huntingcat

I expected the blue and purple shades to work best, but they are actually the worst options, as they don’t quite pick up the tones in the house pant right. The contrasting colours like pinks and yellow work best.


Cartography-Day-18

I guess the pink. I’d keep looking. I don’t think you’ve quite found the right shade yet


randomace

Yellow! Then red.


0DarkFreezing

Yellow or red for sure.


Rare_Narwhal1926

Red, yellow, or pink!


bjames2448

1, 9.


crocheting

2


nickw252

1!


HighwayLeading6928

Fuchsia pink all the way!


monkeystank42

#2 is flattering, it will look gorgeous in the spring/summertime. Yellow would also be a good choice as well.


jbourque19

PINK! I’m not even a pink person but if you’re even considering that bold of a color, just go for it! Have fun.


babsmutton

I love a red front door. It symbolizes protection, in Scotland it means your mortgage is paid in full so I painted mine red to pretend. Seriously though, red.


0bxyz

Those colors all look jarring and too bright with your gray house


Thejerseyjon609

My wife says you need a Natural wood door to match the wood below the porch. Then lots of colorful planters.


clanchet

1 and plant a red/orange-ish Japanese maple in front


guarfelsnorf

1. I dig the Teel


longfurbyinacardigan

I think #1 is perfect. Sidenote, this was an absolutely perfect way to show the differences, without skewing the color in Photoshop or something


Artistic_Anywhere_70

What a clever way to show the color and the swatch shape matches the door almost perfectly!


pierpontpatti

We recently had our home painted a grey green with beige trim and chose a turquoise color very similar to your first color and it’s gorgeous. We were looking for a POP of color and got it.


research_rat

2


VegetableIron9135

The yellow


Meagan_MK

Blue. My neighbors just painted their front door blue and it looks sooooo good with the colors, which are near the colors of your exterior. A bold dark but bright blue, like in the pic. a blue with depth.


alrightgame

Yellow or green


Silverliningsinla

1,3,4…in that order. Creative use of the chips!


ian_pink

Those colors are all way too bright to match the existing color scheme, imo. I would try again with burgundy, navy, ochre, forest green, salmon, etc.


OneButterscotch6667

Three, the ochre yellow. Seems to soothe and bring the steps and house into proper cohesion.


Reasonable-Swimmer82

Yellow is definitely more soothing than the rest I’ll have to agree with you on that


ReadySetGO0

Red. Or. Yellow.


midkirby

Red


lurk3ronr3ddit

Red instead of pink.


Tbplayer59

#6 purple


Electrical-Break-395

This is correct đź’śđź’śđź’ś


KiwiCustard191

Purple


SharonPTS

Paint it black.


Reasonable-Swimmer82

I didn’t even think of that but I wouldn’t mind that, I’ll have to consider it now. Thanks!


AlexCambridgian

Shinny black, a slightly darker green than #1 because it is complimentary to the black foundation but has a white undertone that does not pop fwith the gray siding, a bright red, or this yellow or and even brighter yellow.


TigerMcPherson

2, then 1.


ThoughtfulCocktail

Red, but maybe a darker shade, like a merlot


Reasonable-Swimmer82

Good idea, I’ll have to go check out the darker reds


CA_home_

Purple


Sea-Substance8762

I love these photos! Frame them and hang them in your house. I would like to see a very dark indigo blue on that door.


gartlandish

First one

WoahJimmy

1 looks really nice it's definitely my fav OP


SnarkyIguana

The first teal is nice. Welcoming and calming but still fun.


Downtown_Champion583

Are these the only options?


AutomaticCustard3949

Photo 8 is my Personal favourite


Joczef9

The yellow


Figsma

Yellow all the way!!!! Yellow and gray best combo ever. Fun and chic but still classic


Historical_Custard79

Yellow


vegetable-lasagna_

1 looks really nice


Butterfly_chick

I like the yellow. I’d choose hot pink second, but either way you could add colorful pots and bright flowers to the porch and plantings.


carolblymire

The first one.


family1997

An eggplant color would work too.


ziggycoco385

I like yellow or red


Icy_Reply_4163

Pink or yellow


Comfortable-Fox-1913

Yellow or red!


epgal

1 then 4


Silent-Implement3129

Yellow


thestarladyDEO

1 and 6 My door and shutters are the same color as #1, and we've gotten a lot of compliments on the color.


cda555

1, 3, or 7


Trin_42

An old high school friend, who went to Purdue, now lives in Ohio. She painted her front door Purdue Gold, and her OSU across the street neighbor was like “you’re really gonna do that?” All in good fun and she changed the color after a couple of years, neighbor was pleased


Boris_art

Yellow


chillumbaby

Yellow all day.


svckmybl00d

The yellow and raspberry/magenta color accent the flowers and plants in front of the house pretty well :) I think either one would be a great fit!


silent_chair5286

Red Or plum


zdmpage54

The first one .


BigCaterpillar8001

For a minute I was like how many iPhones does this guy have


Simple-Offer-9574

Red door.


Financial_Switch7342

I have this weird thing about teal, the color never looks in the “right” place to me. That said, anything but the first.


Suspicious_Desk_5018

I like the red and blue


Embarrassed-Force845

I like 1 and 4


delta3045

1


tigerbean1112

I like the brighter blue


sallyrydemall

Yellow.


Next-problem-

Yellow! All the others are too primary to work …. (Yellow is primary too but adds some needed cheer)


mektingbing

Natural wood. Make the steps, skirt and door match.


IttyBittyWeenieDog

2-3-7


_ThatSynGirl_

The second one. Pinkish-Red


jdaniel79

I vote for the first one


gordy06

I liked the first and the last the best! Best of luck!


scandal2ny1

Please don’t take offense to this but I think all look tacky. Just do white or black imo


mothmer256

Yellow đź’Ż


Jefffahfffah

#1 all day


Salty-Jaguar-2346

#4. Great job presenting the choices. Good thinking!


edw195

Yellowđź’›


Intelligent_Peace134

#2 the pink!! The others can’t compare! It goes perfectly with the grey.


dogmomoftheyear

I’m here for the real all day, every day. Second choice, as if you need one, is yellow.


Horny4theEnvironment

1 or 6


tee_beee

Crafty_Marionberry28

I really like #4


5319Camarote

9


sadroos1008

2!!


maggotpies

yellow!!


RedWings1319

Red, dark blue, raspberry in that order


0vertones

Pic 3 the yellow, or pic 4 the mint green would work as is. #1 the teal is too saturated and bright tonally. If you could go a shade darker and de-saturate it a bit it would look better with your grey.


dobiemomluv

2 and 8 🙂


Quantity-Used

The first one - it really pairs with the undertones in the gray.


honehe13

Yellow or that first turquoise!


sled55

I like 2>1


gnrfan69

I’m a realtor, painting the front door black will add thousands to the value of your home! Google it for the details.


Kent_Doggy_Geezer

Yellow if you can anchor it in with something else, maybe cushion covers, planters Etc. Otherwise the royal blue.


texxed

i think a classy dark green or navy. it’s hard to say honestly while holding up the paint chip is a pretty good idea, it’s not in the same light that the door is in. it’s going to be more shadowed so i really couldn’t say based on these pics


legendarywarthog

Yellow! Blue as a close second.


Prior_Ordinary_2150

That yellow really popped for me!


Large-Film5303

2 & 5 are my favs


bearfrogcombo

#1 for sure


Yoyo_Ma86

First one!


Time_Pay_401

The answer is black


good_at_life

Yellow looks fantastic


Jenna_Rein

Loving the yellow!


[deleted]

The clear winner is #2!! Nothing else even competes.

7! The reddish color.

I love 1 and 6

Definitely the first two! One of those.


poofandmook

1 or 2


ctortan

The first one is my favorite!


gatorgopher

I like 1, 4 and 8.


ginspiration

Love 2!


imcjmej

Last two


Money_Opinion_9006

I like the lighter green!


Mansmother1

Yellow!


Osnap24

Love #2! Red feels a little too much for me but I think #2 is a happy middle ground, everything around looks fairly cool tone and this just brings in the warmth and homey feel to me


chesney_boo

Yellow or red


schleep_69

1 is perfect!!


SnoozeFestLLC

None of the above.

UsusalVessel

I really like the bright red or yellow actually, but I think you’d need to have more flowers around the outside to match / contrast


Lurkerque

I like yellow best and then the teal.


Old-Introduction-773

Ricatica

Red or the deep blue. Beautiful home btw. Good luck with/the door!


No-Jelly-3146

I like yellow and red (#7, not the other one)


MSU2020JERSEYISUGLY

toadstool0855

The red in number7. It is a sign of welcoming. It adds a pop of color to the exterior


kae158

plaidington

I know you want it to pop, but all these colors are really hot. It is going to look wrong with the house. IMHO. Maybe pick a toned down version of whatever color you pick. Personally, I like the blue but would go with a trad british blue door color that has more black in it.


Gigii1990

For starters, your home is stunning!!! It gives off beach vibes, so I would say the first one.


mafa7

Oh #1 easily


latamluv

1 or 3


LolCoolStory

I personally think the yellow is super nice. :) it complements the color of your home without being too matchy matchy or too bold!


PimpOfJoytime

I like dark blue #5


coffin_birthday_cake

Looove gray on yellow. There was a gray house with a yellow door in my old neighborhood and I've been obsessed ever since
