Please help me to choose color for my front door

Hi Guys,

I am looking for ideas on color/stain I should go for my front door that I am about to replace.

Below are pictures of my house, front door and siding under different lights. Sorry sidings are dirty, I will clean them shortly.

After that is the design that I am getting. Only mine will have one door. Sidelight and handle on the right side. My door will 36 inches wide and sidelight 6 inches wide.

I have some options that door company gave me below, but it is not limited to those choices. Those are last two pictures.

I will be repainting my garage door and other accents in color that I will choose for door.

Looking forward to your ideas.

Thank you in advance.

COLOUR is a personal preference.

I would do PINK or PURPLE or even FLUORESCENT YELLOW.

I think you should go with a Color like red, blue or yellow. Wouldn’t use stain. Would use actual paint.

The Color options suck. Even a white would be good but green or red would look great too

Brown is Only good for the Color of the stool

The only colour you should ever paint an interior wall is white. Benjamin Moore Cloud White in particular. Period end of story. Painting walls different colours is nuts and a waste of time.

Just pick a colour that matches everything else and be done with it. When you feel like it slap a coat of paint on the door to jazz it up, but that doesn't seem to be your thing so just keep matching things.

Your garage door isn't an 'accent'. If you paint your door, the garage door and other 'accents' all the same colour, they are no longer accents. Don't waste your time and money painting all these things. Just leave them alone.

Focus on cleaning out your garage so you can park your cars inside.

I am not going to be installing the door myself. An installer from company is going to do it. We removed drywall from inside to see what's in there and installer came to see it as well. There is no electrical wires, thankfully, only low voltage wire for doorbell. They also checked how big of the door we can fit as well.

Choosing these was the easiest and I already know what I am going to go with.

Are they pulling a permit?

In my experience, the oak grains look the least like wood and mahogany looks the most like wood.
