What colour garage door for a dark grey stucco house?
Comments (32)I got it... they are however a different style of home is all... that is to some degree. More modern in appearance. I'd personally go with something similar in colors as above meaning windows, door, fascia. I do think the garage and front door can be the same.. I don't think it, but know it. I would not put a red, nor yellow or other door on this home. The neighborhood is not conducive to that and I think too much white such as the garages and front door would not look right either. The colors I posted on the house above that is not the same style of your own is similar to what I'd do with a shade of white or a white that leans a pinch gray in gloomy or dim light such as Aesthetic White by Sherwin Williams. In bright light it will appear white though. It's an inspiration photo of colors only. A bit of freshness using a shade of white....See MoreIs it OK to have a white garage door with a stained entry door?
Comments (8)Cheryl, I think the word that you were looking for is canted. Angled would also be understood too. I'm generally in favor of having garage doors match the color of the house, unless they are on their own elevation and can be treated as a focal point of that facade. Where they are visible along with the front door they should not be focus pulling, especially when they are much larger than the front door. For the same reason I would typically discourage white garage doors. They tend to be just as focus pulling and distracting.

Comments (4)HOA is only allowing body color, trim color, or SW Sealskin That has the potential to be a MAJOR problem. Most all garage door/entry door manufacturers have color specifications that specify a paint color with an LRV of around 55 or 60 or higher. If you paint the door a color with a lower LRV, like Sealskin LRV 6, the warranty is voided. I've seen a lot of HOA color restrictions, this is one of the more unique and unwise ones I've seen....See MoreWhite Paint for my dark Garage/ laundry room
Comments (9)I agree, dont paint it white. That wont give you a happy looking laundry room. Pick a brighter color. Not so sure, I would want the red in the above picture, but, there are many brighter happy looking colors, that would work much better than white. If the room is dark, then, it needs more lighting, regardless of the color you choose. You may also want the light bulbs to be a whiter color (Daylight type)....See Morezipster2000
