Your front door can define the first impression your home makes, so the color you choose to paint it matters. Your color choice should primarily be about personal preferences, but if you're struggling to pick the right color for your home, it can be helpful to look around at what others are doing. Front door colors can range from bold shades to natural wood finishes, and they vary from home to home, but there are some repeated trends and themes. To identify the most popular choices across America, Angi analyzed data on the most searched front door colors nationwide. Per the results, there's one clear, albeit slightly surprising winner. Learn more about the top trending front door colors below.
Believe it or not, the top trending front door color in the U.S. is black. "We can see that regardless of the region of the country that you’re in—south, west, north, or east—black is an overwhelmingly popular color choice," Angie Hicks, chief customer officer at Angi, says. "This tracks with current trends of more neutral colors in homes overall." Per the report, 17 states chose black as the top choice for front door color, including states from California to Florida to New York.
If you had to guess the No. 1 most popular front door color, you may have assumed red. "There is the common image of the traditional American home with a red front door, but in reality there is a great variety of interest in other colors across states," Hicks says. However, red is still the top choice for 5 states: Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland, and Missouri. A red front door feels classic and traditional, yet it's still bold and inviting.
Blue was the top front door color choice for just two states: Connecticut and Louisiana. However, as the report notes, the shades of blue used for front door colors can vary greatly from deep navy to light powdery shades. So, blue front doors can reflect a range of personalities depending on the selected shade, the style of the home, and the color combination of the rest of the home exterior.
Green front door colors are the top pick for nine states across the U.S., including the forest-filled Washington, which is nicknamed "The Evergreen State." This front door color choice is immediately associated with nature and it's a great way to blend in with the surrounding scenery of your home or to make your home feel more connected to nature.
Another nature-inspired front door color choice isn't a color at all, but instead a natural finish. For four states, Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, and Oregon, a wood front door is the most popular choice. As the report suggests, this trend could be due to these states' proximity to mountains and overall appreciation of the outdoors.
While this report shows which states most prefer black, red, blue, green, and wood front doors, it doesn't represent all 50 states. There wasn't enough data available to include the following states: Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming.
When deciding which color to choose for your front door, Hicks says the most important thing is that it will fit with the aesthetic of the rest of your home, your surroundings, and your personal preference. "Think about your siding, trim, roof, and shutter colors," she suggests. "Your front door will need to bring all of these together, while providing some contrast. If you want to stand out from the rest of the street, red can be a great choice. If you live in a very woody area, green might work well. And you generally can’t go wrong with more neutral colors like black and natural wood."
Agnes Felicia2024-06-24Arclight did exterior painting on our house. Shawn did our initial appointment and he explained about how they would do the job and what makes them different than others. He is very detailed and humble that my husband was hooked and did not want to choose other company although there are other companies with lower bids, but you’ll get what you’ll pay for. Jean and his team did the actual work and they were courteous and always gave us update. They had to climb tall ladder because we have 3 stories house and they did couple patch on our doors and walls. Overall, we can recommend Arclight for your painting needs.Tana Ingersoll2024-06-13Arclight just completed a full exterior job on our home and we couldn't be happier with their service, the quality work and the value. The house looks like a brand new home!Mary King2024-06-07We were very pleased with the work and professionalism of the Arclight team. They were thorough, tidy, and not intrusive at all.Canice Poon2024-05-29Thanks Stanley and team! I have no idea what I’m doing with house maintenance so it was great to have you coming by after the paint dried and checked that everything looked up to your standards. I won’t forget your statement of “well that’s not going to sell” and making sure you had a chance to come back and fix the issues you saw. Of course getting it in the first visit is nice, but having a professional check things over makes me trust your team a lot. Highly recommended!Adam Lamb2024-05-22We had a really good experience with our client. He did a professional job on time and on budget.George Monica2024-05-21The guys who worked on my project were great!Anand Sankar Bhagavandas2024-05-19Excellent and professional service.Mark Pepitone2024-05-18We are really happy with the job Arclight did with the exterior paint on our house. We did schedule the job out for a year, which was really helpful. Throughout the job, they were very honest, had a good eye for detail, and were quick to touch up even after the job was completed. They also have a 5-year warranty on their work, which makes me feel really confident in their work.Dave (OV)2024-05-18Just got an exterior job done by Dan, Colby/Cody from the Arclight team. They were respectful, detail oriented and communicative throughout the several days work. Our neighbor was also impressed with their diligence and hard work and meticulous nature as they stripped the weather and wear from some of the wood exterior before coating and refreshing it for the next few years. They did work on our cedar fences to brighten things up from the dull gray wear over the last few years of winter rains. Clean up and walk-through was efficient and thorough, which they did to make sure we were fully satisfied with the work. Highly recommended and will seek them out again in the future for any interior or exterior painting needs.Kathleen Cissell2024-05-16I highly recommend Arclight Painting for your exterior home. They did a wonderful job of upgrading our paint job, including trim and 2 coats everywhere. Our house is two story on a hill, so they did a lot of ladder climbing. We are so grateful we did not need to climb ladders ourselves! They were always on time, kept us informed at all times of the schedule, did exceptional masking and preparation work, and were good to clean up afterwards. In other words, practically perfect! Thanks, Arclight painters!
