As important as functionality and durability are when purchasing a new garage door, homeowners should also be mindful of the color of their new installation. After all, it will be highly visible and play a big role in your property’s curb appeal for years to come. The guide below explores some guiding design principles that can help you pick the right shade.

How to Decide on a Color for Your New Garage Door

1. Neutral Is the Safest Choice

White doors go with almost any style of home, including exteriors that feature varied colors and materials. Beige, taupe, and soft gray are other popular “neutral” selections.

2. Be Mindful of the Front Door

With most home layouts, the front door is supposed to be the focal point. Because of this, it is generally recommended that you avoid choosing a matching shade for your garage door, particularly if the front door uses a bright or bold color; it could draw attention away from the preferred entrance.

3. Drawing From Your Home’s Color Scheme

If you want to move away from neutrals, you should still try to select a color that coordinates with the house. Matching or accent colors will typically look best. If your home uses adobe or brick construction with varied hues, try to match with the most prominent color in the material. Avoid bold, trendy shades that won’t age well and could diminish your curb appeal.
