Crossing the threshold just got a lot more stylish.
At Clare, we’re all about busting out of the beige box and embracing your brightest, boldest self. And, thanks to our Exterior Paints, you can bring your colorful personality to the great outdoors.
Looking for a place to start? Painting your front door offers an instant boost of curb appeal. Not only is a fresh front door color a relatively easy entry point to painting your exterior—in fact, you can even do it yourself—but it’s also a great opportunity to experiment with a fun pop of color.
With endless color possibilities, choosing the right front door shade can feel daunting. To spark inspiration, we’ve rounded up eight eye-catching front door color ideas guaranteed to make a memorable first impression.
Embrace the Green Scene
@ashleyswhiteside
Green is the ultimate outdoor neutral, blending seamlessly with your home’s natural surroundings while still standing out. For a fresh, nature-inspired look, try Daily Greens, a lush mossy green. Craving something more dramatic? Current Mood, a deep and moody green, adds richness and sophistication. If you want to explore the lighter end of the color spectrum, softer shades like Dirty Martini and Extra Virgin will look awesome on homes with darker siding.

Back to Black
Forget what the Force told you: The dark side has plenty of perks. Not only does a black front door offer plenty of contrast — especially when paired with crisp white siding — but it’s actually been proven to increase your home’s value. If you want to dial down the intensity, Blackish is the perfect off-black that’s bold enough to make a statement. True to its name, Blackest, our darkest shade of black is another great choice that will be a total compliment magnet.
Bold, Beautiful Blue
Simply put, we can’t get enough of blue. Available in a variety of tones — from a mystical indigo like Blue’d Up to a breezy medium blue like Summer Friday — the color is often associated with feelings of relaxation and calmness. (Translation: A blue front door color will give your home some serious zen vibes from the moment you step inside.) Oh, and did we mention that blue will complement the bright, beautiful sky above? Consider us sold.
Pretty in Pink (and Red)
A pink front door might not be the obvious choice, but that’s exactly what makes it so charming. Add a cheerful pop with Pop, a playful coral-pink that pairs effortlessly with a variety of complementary hues. For a more refined take, Subrosa offers a dusty rose that brings warmth and elegance to any entryway. Want to go bolder? Fire Sign delivers a punchy, fiery orange-red that commands attention and exudes energy.

Hello, Yellow!
@retrodenverfinds
Brighten up your home’s exterior with a touch of sunny optimism. Good As Gold is a mellow mustard yellow that feels both inviting and timeless. For a richer, more saturated glow, Golden Hour evokes the warmth of a perfect sunset, bathing your entryway in golden hues.

Next-Level Neutrals
Calling all minimalists: A neutral door is an excellent, easy way to offset a white house. As a warm mix of beige and gray, Flatiron will provide some depth to your pared-back palette. If you want to lean into those cooler tones, give Motor City a try. The medium gray has greenish undertones, making this power color both modern and magnificent.
