The color of your front door can have a significant impact on the overall look of your home and can convey a message to visitors. It can even impact the sale price of your home! Here are some of the most common front door colors and what they typically mean:

Black

When you cross a black threshold, you are entering a world of order and control. Simple elegance graces the style within and everything is in its proper place. A black front door is a classic and bold statement. You’re not afraid to speak your mind and you love a good mystery. You’re an independent sort who isn’t swayed by trends.

Orange

You’re a social butterfly! Orange doors tell guests that you like to entertain, but also that you enjoy a good challenge.

Pink

If your front door is pink, then you’re probably a romantic at heart. You’re a thoughtful and generous person who relishes in the details. Your drinks have creative garnishes and your pillows are monogrammed. You prefer to look at life with the proverbial rose-tinted glasses.

Wood/Natural

Homeowners who keep their doors a traditional wooden finish are generous and down to earth, like this grounded finish. They are kind and sweet and all who enter will feel welcomed.

Green

Green doors suggest that traditional values lay within. The people living there are ambitious and strive for personal betterment. They’re also good with their finances, as green is affiliated with money. A green-colored front door is usually found on the home of someone who loves the outdoors, their community, and their family. You’re peaceful and responsible and you probably have a green thumb to go with your door.

Grey

Grey is an in-between color, a mix between black and white. If you paint your door grey, you prefer to compromise—giving both sides of an argument equal weight.

Turquoise

Turquoise is one of our favorite front door colors. It may be a bit unusual but, but it’s perfect if you crave emotional balance, have big hopes and dreams and believe that anything is possible. In other words, you’re a romantic dreamer.

Red

Red is a very popular color for front doors because it adds a bold touch to a home’s exterior. If you have a red front door, it probably means you like entertaining. It tells the world your home is always open for visitors. You’re always prepared for a surprise drop-in, so you also probably make a point to keep your bar stocked and food in the freezer for an impromptu barbecue.

Blue

Blue is the color of the sky and ocean. So those who paint their doors blue enjoy peace and value truth. They are well grounded and true to themselves.

Yellow

While it ups your curb appeal, a yellow front door also says you’re logical while also creative. Your yellow front door is a direct representation of your sunny disposition. You’re always cheerful and looking on the bright side of life. You love mornings especially, but you find something wonderful about every part of the day. You’re happy just being alive.

Of course there’s other colors to choose from and the door doesn’t always define the person living there! We just think it’s a fun way to see people’s personalities through color choices. Does the color of your door match your personality?
