siding color/ door color

We recently added a front porch addition to our brick home. Do we use the same color siding on the rest of the house as the new shake siding color on the front? Also, what would be a good front door color?

I should add that we are thinking of painting the vinyl siding. Is that recommended? It would be the side and back of the garage as well as the sun room.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing the photos of your home, that's so helpful. Your home is gorgeous! Yes, I think it would be good to continue the color around your home's exterior. Vinyl Siding can be painted, but you'll want to research the specific steps that need to be taken, as well as choose paint and colors specifically developed for vinyl siding, such as the Benjamin Moore Vinyl Select colors, with Aura Exterior paint.

You have a variety of choices for a front door color, based on the shutters, and other colors on your home. Here are a few ideas for door paint colors that you may want to sample:

Thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions. I will definitely look into Benjamin Moore vinyl colors and application so as to match the front of the house. I appreciate your input. Also, thank you for the front door color idea's, all 3 are great colors!
Thanks again,
Sue
