Should a Garage Door Be Lighter or Darker?
Choosing the right garage door color—lighter or darker—can dramatically impact curb appeal, maintenance, and home value.
A lighter garage door creates a bright, clean look, makes a house appear larger, and matches most exteriors but shows dirt more easily.
A darker garage door offers bold contrast, adds warmth, and hides stains but can fade faster and absorb heat. Key factors include home style, roof and trim colors, climate, and neighborhood trends.
Test samples in different lighting before deciding. Both light and dark shades can enhance your exterior when chosen to complement your home’s overall design.
