Warm Pink

Despite its name, Farrow & Ball's Crimson Red, is actually a warm pink that feels soft and inviting. It allows you to lean into that trendy pink aesthetic, while still feeling grounded. "Crimson Red is misleading—the deep, dusky rose has an almost earthy character," says Patrick O'Donnell, Farrow & Ball's international brand ambassador. It plays nicely against red brick or adds a splash of interest to a white weatherboarded home. "It's an elegant and sophisticated option and exudes the sense that warmth lies beyond the threshold," he says.

Green Blue

A moody green blue color, like Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke, will effortlessly tie the front of your home to the rest of your landscaping. The deep shade sits wonderfully against red brick or sandstone, says O'Donnell.

Creamy White

White is a timeless front door paint color that will always be on-trend. Looking for the perfect hue? Valspar's Cozy White is the perfect choice. It's a warm neutral that evokes both warmth and security—what could be more appropriate for a front door? The soothing cream hue pairs beautifully with warm wood tones and other neutral accents, says Sue Kim, Valspar's director of color marketing.

Deep Green

Take a cue from nature by coating your front door with an earthy, deep green hue like Behr's Vine Leaf. The accent shade will add refinement to the exterior of your home, says Erika Woelfel, Behr's vice president of color and creative services. "It's a bold and dignified green that makes a dramatic statement—and it's a sophisticated accent for drawing attention to a front door," she says.

Soft Black

Choose a front door paint color that contrasts with the exterior of your house to create an eye-catching focal point. A soft black like Behr's Cracked Pepper (the company's 2024 color of the year) is a trending color that will add depth to the front of your home. "This color can successfully be used for a dramatic effect. It is versatile with a sophisticated feel and functions as a neutral to complement almost any type of wood tone, metal finish, and trim color," says Woelfel.

Rose Pink

A beautiful and understated hue, Farrow & Ball's Sulking Room Pink will give the front of your home a welcoming feel. The warm, muted rose shade has a powdery look that makes it soft and easy to pair with other colors, like off-white and gray.

Rich Blue

The perennial love for blue never ceases, especially shades at the darker end of the color family, like Farrow & Ball's Drawing Room Blue, says O'Donnell. A shade of blue found in Delft pottery, this variation lends both a sense of vibrancy and crispness to your home. "As with Delft, it is a super chic option for white stucco exteriors, but will also work with brick and stone as an alternative to classic black," O'Donnell says.

Honey Beige

Set your home apart from the others on your block with a unique hue like Glidden Paint by PPG's Limitless. The trending honey beige color can make the entrance of your home feel welcoming to visitors. "Limitless reflects natural light, making the entryway feel more spacious and airy, which can be particularly advantageous for smaller or darker entry areas," says Ashley McCollum, Glidden paint by PPG color expert.

Charcoal Gray

For an unabashed door color that still feels neutral and plays nicely with a host of exterior details, opt for a dark, neutral gray like Benjamin Moore's Kendall Charcoal. This particular shade of charcoal has the softest infusion of warmth. "It's no secret that grays have been trending over the past several years. More recently, we have seen people lean towards darker charcoal grays and black paint colors," says Arianna Cesa, associate manager of color marketing and development at Benjamin Moore.

Powder Blue

As an alternative to deeper blue, consider a cooled-down variation that still has charm and warmth, like Valspar's Blue Arrow. This shade has a strong connection to the sky and water—making it an ideal choice for your front door, says Kim.
