Have a think about a timber grain or timber look door. If in doubt and nothing else seems right, timber will always go with everything!

What colour garage door should I get??? 5Feb 17, 2009 8:26 pm Before we went for timber look (upgrade ) we drove around the new estates to look at what others had done (eg colours) with our brick colour. One thing we did notice was that the best looking (IMO) facades (colour wise) were ones were the colour of the front door and the garage door were the same colour. Obviously there were exceptions to the rule, but this was a safe way of looking co-ordinated, not too many colours in the mix.
I'm surprised you can't get a charcoal colour, can you get black? I only ask because you said black??? windows, and black garage doors actually looked great (IMO)... Otherwise, think about your front door and your garage door together... I think a burgandy colour would do nicely with the colours you have mentioned so far...

What colour garage door should I get??? 9Feb 17, 2009 9:23 pm Not something I would have ever thought about but I just did a quick Google search and I'm quite liking the idea. Thanks heaps, I'll let you know how we go. Blue roof might be a bit out there but I love it Re: New with no idea!!! What colour garage door should I get??? 10Feb 18, 2009 7:20 pm I've pretty much decided that I love the idea of a wood look garage door. The only thing holding me back is that I've not seen one in real life - is this cutting edge new and trendy or what??? I'm feeling a little out of my comfort zone guess I'm worried I'll be swayed by friends and neighbours if they pay it out after the fact!! Re: New with no idea!!!

What colour garage door should I get??? 14Feb 18, 2009 8:07 pm Your only on the Central Coast liddlepea which is long way from where Uncle Jed and Granny came from surely there are timber garages in your area, well they look just the same, can't tell the diff from a distance. And what about Homeworld (is it?) down your way, go for a drive and have a look, we saw timber look garages there as soon as you see one you will love it. Re: New with no idea!!!

LOL I'm hunting now maybe I'm closer to Uncle Jed & Granny than I thought Oh, I'm pretty sure I already love it just from little pictures on my computer - the more I talk, type and think about it the more convinced I am becoming.

Thanks Erin have a look at some cement ponds while ya there...maybe I should go to bed. My garage door has started playing up recently.
