You just painted your home’s exterior the perfect shade of beige. The only thing that’s missing now is the right front door color to accentuate it. Fortunately, we’ve gathered nine colors that are here to save the day and really bring out everything that your exterior paint has to offer. Check out the best front door colors for beige houses below by paint brands you love.

1. Brown

Brown is one of the top choices of front door colors for beige houses that have natural brick elements. The beige and brown work together to bring out the brick in a way that’s subtle and inviting. Consider painting trim and gutters a clean, crisp white to make your new door color pop. You can also paint your shutters and garage door the same brown to complete the look.

2. Navy

Craftsman-style houses and Cape Cod-style homes may have found their perfect color palettes with beige and navy blue. The colors offer a traditional look that radiates elegance and beauty. Don’t just stop at the doorway, however. Paint your rafters, beams, columns, window trim, and fencing a stark bright white to pull in the beige and navy color combo and add some major charm to your home.

3. Red

Don't underestimate the power of a red front door on your beige house. An off-red shade that has a brown hue to it can create an earthy aesthetic on your home's exterior. Perfect for a colonial-style home that already has red brick, this front door color can bring attention to your modest style without overpowering it.

Try playing with dark gray light fixtures, shutters, and window trim to give your home a more modern appearance.

4. Pale Blue

It doesn't get much dreamier than this color palette. Pale blue and beige are a light and airy color combo suited for dreamers and beach lovers alike. A light blue exterior door is perfect for lighter beige homes that have a cool undertone. However, avoid pairing a cool blue with a warm beige, as this might clash.

Ask your local exterior painter to throw in some cool white accents on your window trim, shutters, garage door, and more to watch your house lighten up and reflect that inner, playful you. You’ll feel the calming effects of this peaceful color combo every time you drive up to your home—a relaxing refuge from a busy day out.

5. Gray

Gray is another soothing color that can give your front door the quintessential touch that pulls together your home’s appearance and puts a smile on your face. The secret to making gray work for your front door is to choose a warm or neutral gray that doesn’t detract from the warmth of your beige home. 

Other colors that work with a gray and beige color palette include brown, cream, dark gray, and taupe. If you’re giving your home a whole new paint job, consider these colors for your walkway, columns, window trim, shutters, and more to complete the look.

6. Black

Walking up to your front door takes on a whole new vibe when you choose a black door as part of your color palette. If your beige home feels a little on the outdated side and you want to crank it up a notch with a more modern palette, a black front door will help create a contemporary look.

7. Teal

This front door is anything but cookie-cutter. It’s no secret that beige can feel a little one-dimensional. Teal can help counter this effect with its bright, bold, and fun shades, and it just so happens to look incredibly stunning with a soft neutral beige.

Pair your beige home and teal front door with splashes of white trim accents, and you’ll have a house that mimics a sandy beach. Or, if you have natural wood beams and shutters, you’ll be surprised by just how tranquil, down-to-earth, and captivating your home’s exterior will look.

8. Sage

Not everyone wants a green hue with a beachy vibe—that’s where sage comes in. If your beige home has warm undertones, sage can really pull out this subtlety. Red and green oppose each other on the color wheel, which is a good thing stylistically. Use sage for your front door to accentuate this already complementary color combo and make for a one-of-a-kind front entryway. 

On the other hand, a very neutral, light beige also looks stunning and gentle with sage. You really can’t go wrong with this color combo.

9. Purple

Purple may not be the first option that comes to mind when you think of door colors that compliment a beige house, but that element of surprise is soon followed by amazement at how well these two colors work together.

Beige works as the perfect backdrop for your door. When you choose to paint your front door a neutral or cool purple, you’re transforming your entryway into an accent feature. Try lighter purple hues like lilac or lavender, or go all out with a deep shade of violet to get the most out of your front door.
