Added bonus
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?

Oh no! Don’t repaint it. That looks B E A U T I F U L just the way it is! Very nice job!
I agree with Annie. That’s a beautiful door.
I like that color. Anything darker would take away from the curb appeal.
Great job.. Your hard work/plans are paying off!!
The house across the street from us in our old neighborhood had a bright blue door. Tell the ones who don’t like it that you’re going to paint it turquoise.
i like it! it’s bright and inviting.
it looks so good…do not repaint it…smile
I think it looks lovely…maybe the family members will get used to the color..
Oooo I like it. A front door should say, “Hey! over here! This is where you’re suppose to knock!” …If they could talk that is.
Hi there! If you dont want.. don’t repaint..
I love your front door! Take it easy now.
How are you sweetheart? I have been keeping you in my prayers.
I am always a person who prefers the darker colors on the exterior of a building, but I am just weird that way. How are you?
@WondersCafe - i am doing very well and hope for the same with you…

Thank you for sharing this article! I really like it! Because of
their relatively low level of writing. After seeing your article, I tried to
write some of this stuff, I published here, such as Coach Outlet, Coach Outlet Canada and Coach Bags Outlet. Those are
just a large blog, here there are some small blog site, also released a number
of articles. From http://www.usa-coach-bags.com/.
