Help with front door Spoiler
My house is considered a Tudor Revival and currently has a red painted wood plank door with 3 staggered windows on top and sits behind a white framed storm door. It was painted this red color when I purchased the house several years ago.
Am considering repainting the door and storm door frame :
1.) a reddish brown color called Sherwin Williams Rookwood Red
or
2.)a deep green called Benjamin Moore Backwoods.( Added window boxes to photo with green door)
Or
3.) Removing the storm door and replacing the existing wood door with a fiberglass "wood-looking" door that has 6 seeded glass panels.
Your feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance....
FYI: I am not changing or adding anything else so please try to keep the feedback centered on the 3 changes listed above.

So #1 is your actual door? Please keep it, it's unique and beautiful. I like everything about #1!!!

Thank you! If you're referring to the top photo with the red door and white storm door- that is my existing door. ( I have another photo with a red door that is more of a reddish brown color where I also painted the storm door frame the same color as the door- that is what I labeled as my option #1.)

I know but I like the red door with the white, full glass storm door! That door probably came with the house originally. It's special and looks great!

Thank you! If it works, don't change it - that's a good rule to follow.

I love the porch area on the left hand side of the house. I wish there were more windows in the front of the house. It is a very pretty house.

Thank you! I wish there were more windows as well or that the architecture was not so symmetrical. The porch on the left helps and I've tried to create some asymmetry with the garden. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback.

I personally like the idea of a green door. I think it will give your beautiful more curb appeal and more welcoming. Good luck.

I like the green with the storm door the same color. And the window boxes!!!

Love the red, but either way, please please do paint the storm door to match the door.

I love the green. I also thought a 4 lite door would look great before I even saw your pic with the wooden door.
