Why Does Colour Matter for Composite Front Doors?
Choosing the right colour for your composite front door is more than just a design decision — it plays a key role in defining the character of your home. The perfect door colour can:
- Elevate your home’s kerb appeal
- Express your personal taste and style
-
Harmonise with exterior elements such as brickwork, windows and landscaping
- Bring lasting charm and personality to your property
Whether you’re drawn to the sleek elegance of a Grey door, the timeless appeal of Green, or the bold sophistication of Black, at Hurst Doors we offer over 1,600 composite door colours and have a shade to suit every style of home.
Green Composite Front Doors
Green composite front doors have a tone which feels warm and nostalgic, instantly putting guests at ease. This versatile colour works seamlessly with Victorian style doors and contemporary homes alike, blending with both brick and stone exteriors, making it a versatile and timeless choice. Our collection includes a classic traditional Green that radiates charm and tranquillity, as well as the quintessentially British colours, Chartwell Green, reminiscent of rolling countryside and heritage homes. We also offer Dusty Green and Reed Green, both of which inspire a peaceful, inviting atmosphere where nature and comfort meet.
Anthracite Grey Composite Front Doors
Sleek and modern, Anthracite Grey is a favourite for contemporary homes and those looking to project a refined, confident aesthetic. Although a darker tone, its subtle warmth and depth prevent it from feeling cold or unapproachable. On the contrary, it suggests a thoughtful, well-designed space and often pairs beautifully with stainless steel hardware and stylish glazing, welcoming visitors with sophistication and understated charm. Our range of grey composite front doors provide a timeless and welcoming elegance to complement a range of properties.
Duck Egg Composite Front Doors
Light, airy, and refreshing, Duck Egg brings a gentle charm to any front entrance. It’s often associated with tranquillity and open skies, making it a perfect match for family homes and countryside cottages. First impressions matter, and this soft tone offers a fresh twist on traditional pastels, with its inviting nature creating an uplifting and joyful first impression. Choosing this shade on traditional style doors, such as those featured in our Classic Collection adds a refined look to any building. Our range of composite doors are as versatile as they are stylish, with Duck Egg also being a great choice for cottage style doors.
Black Composite Front Doors
Always a popular choice for property owners, a black composite front door is understated yet elegant, offering a timeless appeal that speaks of tradition and luxury across various architectural styles. Despite its boldness, a black door can be incredibly welcoming when paired with Chrome or Gold hardware such as letterplates or knockers, potted plants or warm lighting. Black works perfectly on a 1930s composite front door, as it conveys a sense of stability, strength, and quiet sophistication — perfect for homes that aim to make a confident yet welcoming statement.
Red Composite Front Doors
Bold, vibrant and full of character, a red front door is a symbol of warmth and welcome. This timeless colour choice is a popular option for those who want to create a striking first impression. Whether you choose a deep, classic tone such as our standard Red, a brighter shade like Traffic Red or a deeper wine colour, for example our Mixed Berry colour – red is a confident choice that draws the eye. Perfect for both traditional and contemporary properties, a red composite door is a bold way to stand out.
White Composite Front Doors
Clean, fresh and effortlessly classic, a white front door is a timeless choice that conveys simplicity. Its neutral charm complements almost any architectural style, from charming country cottages to sleek modern townhouses, making it one of the most versatile options available. A white door reflects light beautifully, creating a bright and airy entrance that feels calm and inviting. Whether you opt for a crisp, brilliant white or a softer, warmer tone, white is as versatile as it is elegant.
Yellow Composite Front Doors
Bright, cheerful and full of personality, a yellow front door invokes happiness, and energy for property owners. Whether you opt for a softer hue such as Sand Yellow or a bolder, statement-making tone, for example Buttercup Yellow, yellow stands out in the best way — it signals friendliness, approachability and a happy home behind the door. It’s particularly effective in urban areas where a pop of colour can break through the norm. Yellow suits a wide range of properties, be it a charming period cottage or a modern townhouse. See our blog on how to brighten up your home with a yellow composite door for further inspiration.
Dusty Pink Composite Front Doors
If you’re looking for a front door that’s a little out of the ordinary, Dusty Pink could be the perfect choice. This soft, muted pink shade brings a modern twist with a playful edge, helping your home make a stylish and memorable statement. Particularly well-suited to 1930s-style properties, Dusty Pink adds a distinctive charm that enhances period features while offering a contemporary feel. While it may not be as classic as black or grey, pink front doors are an ideal option for property owners who want their exterior to reflect a friendly personality and warmth.
