All woodland grey vote from me too.

Me too.

Bright Red and make a feature of the door , rather than try and hide where it is .

I don’t think I want my actual door woodland grey 😬.......I guess the other thing I could do is change the colour of the security door ?

Hey nitegalaxy it's paint. It seems like you don't know what you want, apart from you don't want it be Woodland Grey? Painting a front door is easier than changing the colour of a security door. I would suggest you paint it Woodland Grey as I know it will work. If you hate it then paint it another colour and/or change the security door. There isn't really any other options as the Woodland Grey security door is always going to make the front door look a different colour than it is painted as you will be looking at it through a Woodland Grey filter, and nobody can tell you the precise effect that will have on the paint colour.

This image shows how the Woodland Grey security door makes the paint colours look a lot darker.

Be daring and try Oasis spring. It’s a blue

Or try and orange or red

Stella is another orange to try

You want a colour to make you happy when you open the screen door

HI nitegalaxy, I went through the same process as you. I've attached a photo of what we ended up doing. I couldn't bear to add more of the classic cream that is on all my other doors/windows so we toned it down a little with Paperbark, which we got away with because of the distance between the door and the windows. I toyed with black for the front door but we already had 3 colours with the Woodland Grey, Classic Cream and Heritage Red so we went with the Woodland Grey. We are also set low into the block and with the screen, I figured not many people are actually going to see the front door up close! This just might help you to visualise.

The photo you have given is of a single unassuming grey door in a red wall with white or a light grout. There are no distinguishing features whatsoever.

It says to me... "I don't want visitors. I don't want to be found. Go away. Don't come any closer!"

If this is truly your front door [and I have no reason to doubt it], Nitegalaxy, you are in big trouble if you think a coat of paint is all that is required to bring visitors in.

If paint is all you can afford, then if it were me, I'd perhaps stick with the grey. It wouldn't be my first choice but at least it does stand out from the red.

You could try a white door - boring I know - but the red brick is so dominant that it makes introducing colours other than greys and whites all that much tougher.

Instead, I think I'd widen your train of thought a little more.

Can you lead visitors to the door by introducing colourful plantings either side of the footpath?

Frame either side of the door with hanging plants.

If plants aren't your thing, try some art works.

An arty neighbour of mine, hung a large resin coated picture of flowers on her front wall to help visitors to find her front door. It looked wonderful and was quite unique.

Is it possible to build a pergola or a canopy over the door to help define the space more.

Funky artworks or oversized bright pots could also work.

If money is not a problem there is another option.

Completely replace your front door.

There are some wonderful glass options on the market with bright scenes sandwiched between the layers. too many for me to mention here but look on line.

Good luck
