We often use color to express ourselves—in our clothes, our decor, our art. And credible psychology has linked color to certain personalities—the feelings they evoke and what they say about you. That means the color of your front door says something, too! It’s one of the first things guests see when they visit your home, so look through these 14 front door colors to make sure you’re giving off the first impression you want to send.
1. Orange
You’re a social butterfly! Orange doors tell guests that you like to entertain, but also that you enjoy a good challenge.

3. Blue
Those who paint their doors blue enjoy peace and value truth. They are well grounded and true to themselves.
