This turquoise door makes a splash, thanks to its complementary color partners. White casing highlights this welcoming hue. When choosing a blue front door color, consider the color of walkways and exterior siding (here, it's brick red and cedar shingles). Then, select a shade found on the opposite side of the color wheel to create attention-getting contrast.

Use a vibrant front door color to highlight your home's exterior features. Because it's tucked into a sidewall, this blue front door was barely noticeable until the homeowners painted it a gorgeous aquamarine.
