The garage door may not be the focal point of your home, but it can significantly impact its curb appeal. When selecting a new garage door, there are a few factors to consider, including style, material, and color. If you’re unsure what color to choose, consider the guide below to help you make the best decision for your home.

A Guide to Choosing a Garage Door Color 

House Color

Most homes have three colors: a field color that is the primary color, a trim for areas like awnings and door frames, and an accent for doors and shutters. These colors should balance and complement each other, such as a light field color paired with dark trim. Typically, the garage door should either match the trim or field color, with the latter being the most common choice. While accent colors on front doors can be unique and eye-catching, an accent on a garage door may detract from the overall appearance of your home’s exterior. The exception is gray homes, which can look beautiful with a garage door in a deep color like navy blue or burgundy.

Exterior Material

Consider what your home exterior is made of as well. Brick and stone, for example, often have multiple shades and complex texture. A beige or taupe garage door may be an excellent complement as it will blend in with the home’s facade. White can also work well, mainly if the brick or stone contains elements of white. A neutral garage door allows the uniqueness of the exterior material to be the focal point.

House Style

What kind of personality does your house have? Is it traditional, modern, minimalist, or elegant? Walnut brown garage doors, which have a warm, rich texture, complement homes with a sophisticated and classic aesthetic. White doors go with any style and can be paired with a monochromatic, minimalist look or a more traditional style, such as a Tudor, rancher, or historic home. Black is another excellent choice for sleek, modern architecture or a more stately appearance.
