What color should I paint my door if my house is white?"Woodlawn Blue is one of my go-to colors for a front door or shutters with a white house," she says.

Should front door and shutters be the same color?Your home's shutters should coordinate with your front door. While it's a “safe” approach to match your shutter color with your front door, you can also simply go one shade lighter or one shade darker (without the risk of clashing!) to add some uniqueness and style to your home's appearance.

Even deep reds and navy blues are classic front door colors that act as neutrals. If your style changes or you alter your home's exterior later, neutral hues will adapt with you.
What are the popular front door colors for 2022?'You can also add depth to your home by matching your black door with a variety of siding shades such as tan, red, blue and green. 'Other popular front door colors for 2022 include royal blue and two green hues, hunter green and sage green,' she continues.
