    Update Edit: Thanks to all who offered their opinions here–I was glad to know that my color choice is not quite as potentially offensive as I originally thought. I have decided that the color will stay, but anyone who has worries about how it might appear to others has my blessing to repaint it.

    With all of the excitement of getting our wood floors installed that I shared in the previous post, I forgot to mention our spiffier-looking front door. I filled the cracks that were letting in daylight (and cold air, too) with polyurethane caulk, then gave the door a fresh coat of paint. We also replaced the amber colored sidelight with a clear glass panel to let in more light to our entryway. I was going for a rusty brown to go with that color in the stone, but it came out more of a pumpkin color:

    I kinda like this color, but several other family members have raised objections. Should I repaint the door with a quieter, rusty brown color, or stick with the pumpkin color?
