If you live in a red brick house, the best door colour is dark blue. The reason being that, on a colour wheel, the most complementary colour of red brick’s orangery hue is dark blue. However, steel blue/grey and pastel green are other good colours for doors on red brick houses, whilst a white front door will also stand out on them.
For anyone interested in a new front door, we have compiled some of the commonly asked questions on coloured front doors into this handy blog.
Navy blue, black and dark grey front doors are great colours for pale stone or rendered homes.

This depends on the type of property. However, in an article where they spoke to several estate agents, Country Life Magazine reported that any blue, including duck egg blue, navy or teal, was the best overall front door colour for selling a house.
Green, which includes sage, lichen, royal and olive green, was the next most enticing, with grey and black front doors just behind.

According to the ancient Chinese practice of Feng shui, this depends on what direction your door is facing; south-facing doors should be red or orange; north-facing doors will be lucky if painted blue or black; gray or white paint should be applied to west-facing doors; east-facing doors are lucky if painted brown or green.
