Answer 1

You should have the garage door(s) and the front door match in color. My first choice would a wine red and my second choice would be a dark grey. The wine red would really make the house look modern and up to date. The grey would be more conservative. You may want to look at other similar houses in your neighborhood for comparison. Best of luck! Decorating is fun!!

Answer 2

The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.

Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.

Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.

Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.

The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.

Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

Answer 3

The same color as the "keys" in the center of the eyebrows above the garage doors and windows. The entry door should be a completely seperate color, and can be any vivid color you can imagine within the bounds of good taste.

Answer 4

I was faced with a simular question about a year or two ago on my house. White is always nice, espically if it matches the front door, but the answer REALLY lies with your homeowner's association. I can see a house next door to you so I would assume that you neighbors would have some say through their association dues.

Answer 5

If you paint it the same as your front door...a deep dark royal blue, forest green or a deep, deep red (if your front door is red , it is a sign of good luck...but I do not recommed it for the garage door too.)

With what beauty your home already shows,I would say the green would be the best. At least, I would think so...

:)
Good luck!

Answer 6

either same color as the trim on the house or the color of your front door.

Usually what you do is take the least amount of color on your home and apply the same color to large area to offset and balance the remainding colors.

Answer 7

Same color as your front door. I like your house.

Answer 8

Hunter green.

You should paint the front door and the window to match.

Answer 9

use the same color as the door or a color that compliments your house color

Answer 10

What's wrong with the beige they are now? They should match the front door... you don't want to be tacky.
