Chris Ann,

I too love red doors, in Chinese lore it brings good luck.  In our Los Angeles home we had double oak doors, they were lovely, and we opted just finishing them to protect from weather.  In Napa, we had a solid antique door that was really stately...no paint, and in our former home here we had a dark antique door...it depends on the home, and the look.  A

From the outside I don't really have a concern but on the inside I like a natural finish that says I'm home!

That's a good question. I hadn't given it much thought. I guess it depends on the house and the colors of the house.

I also like red doors but the color should complement the home. Kentlands, my home community, has restrictions on door colors and changes of color must be approved.

I like red doors as well Chris Ann Cleland .  But I would think the color of the home itself will dictate what colors will work for a front door bettter than others.

Never thought of that, Chris.

I was showing a home today to my buyers and kid said, he loves the red color on the door!

I like red too but am seeing some pretty blues and even yellows that are very welcoming.

I love red doors and am in the process of having mine redone.  By guy thinks the feng shui is better if they are a shade of green.  I'm checking in with Laura Cerrano before we do anything!

I think red doors POP and make most homes look very attractive as well.
