“White is a safe choice for garage doors, especially if the trim is also white,” Vaccaro says. “It will also reflect a lot of light, as the LRV is high.” If you live in a hot, sunny spot, white is an ideal choice.

While crisp, clean white is a timeless classic unlikely to offend your neighbors, it doesn’t have to be bland. Hundreds of subtle white shades can change the look of your garage door.

Yeo recommends Benjamin Moore White Dove. “This neutral off-white brings just the right amount of warmth and pairs well with just about any color,” she says. “Regardless of architectural style or region, White Dove is a fail-proof color that doesn’t take away from other colors of the house.”

Green

Vaccaro says rich green garage doors that match the shutters and other exterior trim can introduce a whimsical, fun vibe. Yeo recommends Benjamin Moore Salisbury Green if you’re looking for a shade to complement the greenery surrounding the house.

“It’s a charming mid-tone green that is sure to give a bit of personality to your exterior without overpowering it,” she says. “This color is best paired with creams and off-whites, but could also make a great monochromatic story with other green hues.”

If you want your home to blend into a thick grove of gorgeous trees, paint your entire home, including the garage door, a harmonizing deep forest green. Give your home a facelift with these fresh, modern green exterior paint colors.

Dark Gray

Yeo says dark grays are a great alternative to black, because they offer a perceived confidence and grounding power. She recommends Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray.

“Tapped with a hint of blue, this adaptable hue puts a modern twist on the classic black color,” she says. “It pairs well with just about any color, and especially with natural materials, such as stone, brick and natural wood.”

The depth of color offered by dark gray is a practical option for hiding dirt your car might splash up on the way into the garage.
