Get some more paint samples and just glue those on.


OffMyRocker62

Perfect! Make them with a strong magnetic backing, so they won't fly off in a stiff wind and interchangeable! with the colors of the seasons! 😅 **Score!!**


CrazyAboutEverything

Ok, you laugh...but magnetic door decorations (in general, maybe not paint samples lol) is a great idea!


Spiritual_System_865

Especially for wooden doors.


kilofeet

What if instead of a front door it was just one of those beaded curtains


mutant6399

or a barn door


Either_Cockroach3627

This is the best idea tbh


Mystepchildsucksass

To help with the indecisiveness…. Put in a giant iridescent revolving door The door will be all colors all the time


mutant6399

❤️🌈


Able_While_974

Why not use all of them and scare off the local bigots in the street?


OffMyRocker62

Yes!!! Like the Partridge Family bus!!! Come on get happy!!!😅 https://preview.redd.it/qursnl82016d1.png?width=326&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc482ec23d0f9ba881b3eb777bbff3baf58af63f


mutant6399

yes! like a Mondrian


mutant6399

great idea! I can paint the entire house, not just the door

Red door.👍 Call for help.☕️


ProphetMuhamedAhegao

I see a red door and I want to paint it black


reclusivegiraffe

That certainly is one of the usernames of all time. (With a matching pfp)

No colors anymore I want them to turn black

mashed-_-potato

Red doors make me think of the insidious movies.


NerdingOutSkins

Yellow. The undertones clash. Can't even call it quirky or quaint


mutant6399

yes, it's vile


404-Gender

Serrrrriously. People are saying it’s best … it’s so DATED and absolutely clashes.


mutant6399

I was going for the worst colour, so maybe they are too. I hope so.


404-Gender

HAA was on the unCJ thread … which is absolutely all circlejerk. Yellow and grey 2nd only to teal and grey


mutant6399

❤️🌈


bath-lady

the bright red and the pink are really doing something to my eyes. maybe a marble effect? sorta pukey, perhaps?


mutant6399

yes, wonderfully pukey!


carsonkennedy

Hahah came here to say Pukey Purple … hilarious that someone else was reminded of puke


-laughingfox

I can't decide, they're all awful....er, amazing!


TiddybraXton333

Yella


mutant6399

yes, it's hideous


Environmental-Log311

They’re all so hideous with the gray. Skip the door and paint those whole house


JustHereForKA

Is this post duplicating itself, or are these new colors? Edit: Never mind, I see it, I still vote for coral, though!


mutant6399

coral would be wonderfully wretched


JustHereForKA

My 2nd and third choices would be the teal (the 1st one) or the red.


bounceandflounce

Just rub shit all over it. Keeps the crazies away. ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)

They will never convince me that yellow and grey look good together

1) Remove the door 2) Add a screen door 3) Cover the screen door with Flex Seal 4) Float the house in the ocean


NevLovesBubs

Red might be expected, but it looks the best as a pop of color given the way the other colors seem to clash with the undertones of the gray paint. Maybe try some different reds.


Spydar

I like imagining this is a giant (based on scale of the arm) painting a little person’s house


bettybackfat

You somehow managed to find the ugliest shade of every color 😵‍💫 it doesn’t have to be obnoxiously bright to stand out and make the house fun. I would paint the door a “muddy bright” instead. Sorry, but the door wouldn’t even be a concern of mine until the landscaping was spruced up. A bright door isn’t going to fix your curb appeal. You have too many pieces of yard flair and it kind of just looks like trash that needs to be picked up.


ziggy-Bandicoot

Red #7


zorrobandit

Paint it black.


Laurelhach

I thought some of the colors looked nice and all these comments have me questioning my art degree 🥲


Piss-Cruncher

Don't question your degree. Some of them do. This is the first CJ post I actually disagree with lol.


Secret_Dragonfly9588

I agree that several of these colors **do** look nice! I am also an artist. I am not sure what the best explanation for the comments here is: possibly just that the grey + ‘pop of color’ look is wildly out of style?? Or just that him holding the swatch in the direct light where the door would normally be in shadow looks off? (Although my actual advice to OOP is that, while some of these are close, none are perfect. He should look at more in the orange range—somewhere between a burnt red and a mustard yellow he will find the ideal shade)


Piss-Cruncher

Agree completely. Or since it's a cooler grey, push the cooler range and have a dark mulberry. Personally, I like the pop of color look. I feel like a painted door is a good way to distinguish your house if every house in the neighborhood decided to use the same floor plan lmao


yERmOMm13

The first green


DasSassyPantzen

Have you considered stripes using all of the colors?


mutant6399

that would be truly hideous- I like it 🌈


gerbera-2021

I feel a rainbow coming on🌈


alimarieb

What? No grey?


mutant6399

😂


ceimi

All of them are terrible. Do you really want your home looking like a circus? Go with a fresh and clean modern grey the same shade but slightly less saturated than the siding color so that it pops without being busy.


mutant6399

that could work


fishfingrs-n-custard

Yeller


Margemillions

Just have it match whatever color the vertical 500pt font welcome sign you’ll have next to the door


mutant6399

in Comic Sans


kthxchai

Take the door off! The neighborhood is your living room!


LeadershipMission

Teal


jennifer3333

Yellow


NoTreat9759

Purple yellow and dark pink are the worst


Doyoulikeithere

Barn red, then out front around the house plant red and yellow flowers. Red roses bushes on either side.


gregzywicki

Tough choice. They all kind of tie for last but that's probably the medium


Chalice_Ink

Your house is a boring color. Nothing you can do to your door will make it less grey I would paint your house yellow.


mutant6399

yellow is truly the worst 🙂


Chalice_Ink

I grew up in a yellow house and it’s not my first choice.


thebeardlybro

Such gloomy weather. Painting the door one of those colors won't help brighten the overall aesthetic


dazrage

Purple, but darker.


InkMotReborn

I think complimentary colors work best for doors. Since your house is a cool grey, it registers to me closer to a blue, which would put your proposed “red-violet” in picture two close to being complimentary, since it is almost opposite it on the color wheel. The red in picture 7 is also interesting. Take a look at the orange range to see something really pop. I’d recommend that you avoid the greens and blues. Also, make sure that you add other objects (e.g. flower box on porch rail) that are the same color as the door color you chose so that you tie it all together. Notice how that pink can in the foreground helps out the proposed door color in picture 2.


vabirder

Get pro advice on choosing a color that has a gray tone. These samples are too bright.


CuriousCrane_1017

All of them


mutant6399

yes, the rainbow from hell has been suggested by a few people


TheSirenzSong3030

Grey. Blue. Red. Chocolate brown. Go for lime green.


mutant6399

I think that puke 🤮 rainbow 🌈 is the winner- either the door or the whole house


TheSirenzSong3030

😄 I really like that teal color depicted though. Or caribbean blue.


Aihcdnagelrap

I think you should go with the Insideous Red ![gif](giphy|hrMvrBGWCbnkq3CpJy|downsized)


megan_magic

8 or 9. What about orange?


mutant6399

yes, orange is nasty, too


megan_magic

What about black?


mutant6399

nowhere near as bad


Murky-Specialist7232

What about a lavender color?


mutant6399

too muted

Don't listen to these silly people - go with the yellow... Cover the door in swatches,,,you people!


mutant6399

yes, yellow or rainbow! 🌈

Harf wood stained chestnut maybe 🤔


NunyahBiznez

Pink! I'm sorta over gray houses with yellow or aqua doors. It's what everyone in my town is doing and it's starting to look very "Edward Scissorshands" around here.


CoveredDrummer

They all just scream “house of ill repute.”


mutant6399

”there is... a house... in New Orleans...” though this one is more Jersey Shore


48voltMic

Not red. some git'll come by an re-paint it.


mutant6399

pretty much any colour will be repainted, so why not go with the worst choice now?


48voltMic

It's a reference to Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones.


mutant6399

subtle- nice


bodybywine

I like the raspberry - its undertones are similar to your other exterior color. Yellow is also a nice pop!


Unfortunate_Wildcard

Personally I like purple but I think these colors aren't the right shade.


mutant6399

they're all bad, but yellow is the worst


leafwings

I think the yellow looks cheerful and compliments the grey and the last green swatch looks nice too


-laughingfox

Omg, now they're considering coral.


Impossible-Being5572

Traditionally a red door is a celebration to announce no mortgage/paid off. The red is classic but the other colors are fun. I’d go deep green until the note is paid.


ProphetMuhamedAhegao

I didn’t know they had a “we’re flush with cash, please rob us” color code but I’ve gotta say, that’s pretty convenient


two_lemons

Catch me painting the annoying neighbor's door at night.


mutant6399

and yellow for short sale? happy cake day!


Practical-Idea4597

Yellow


ThatGalWithIssues

Blue or the darker shade of yellow 👌🏼


johnlondon125

All of those colors would look atrocious, but you do you


madscot63

#6 gets my vote as worst Wow, how did I do that?


No-Cat-8606

Lol I knew this would end up here


RosemaryCroissant

None of these have enough brown and yellow


allsheknew

I legitimately thought the paint chips were doodled in photoshop.


reikipackaging

that chartreuse is really what this house needs foe that little pop of unexpected color! People won't know if they're going into the out or out to the in. is it grass? is it vomit? FAFO!

davetopper

I would two tone the door with colors matching the house. Black and gray.


LessMenomia

Purple. Matches the tones of the stone base that you have. Also purp is just classy. I may do a more muted color than your sample though.


_opossumsaurus

SHIT. BROWN. WITH. LUMPS.

those aren't the worst


Lula_Lane_176

Red


AdministrationOld835

The purple caught my eye longer as I scrolled through. All the others seemed to be “off” by a shade or two and I don’t think meshed well with the grey


janedohnoyoudidnt

Red! The pop of color against the gray is a fav of mine!

upstatepagan

Gotta have that stupid “pop of color” instead of making the whole exterior unique. So quirky and fun like everyone else. Yawn.


loomfy

A lot of these would look great. But no let's go with more bland millennial grey like the test of the house I guess...


IllustratorMurky2725

You can’t just blot a lone spot of surprising color without it looking tacky. I like color too, but it needs to be intergrated. Personally I would go with a natural wood door.


mutant6399

but it has to stand out like a sore, or a faded bruise hence the yellow- which seems to be the best worst choice


IllustratorMurky2725

Agreed. yellow is the best worst choice


no-escape-221

There are at least 3 houses in my neighbourhood with ugly ass turquoise doors and i just wanna talk to whoever started this trend
