You're not alone. Many Omaha homeowners find themselves stuck with a bland, uninspiring garage door that's dragging down their home's curb appeal. Here at [Brush & Roll Painting](https://brushandrollpainting.com/), we've been painting the exterior of homes in Omaha for over 28 years. We've seen firsthand how a pop of color or a sleek new style on a garage door can transform the look of a home. In this article, we're going to discuss the best garage door styles and colors for Omaha homes. By the time we're done, you'll be bursting with ideas to transform your garage door and have some tips to get it done right. ## Why Your Garage Door Color Matters ![White exterior painted home with black trim and painted 3 car garage doors.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ehlers%20after%202-2.jpg?width=531&height=354&name=Ehlers%20after%202-2.jpg) Let's face it, your garage door isn't exactly small potatoes when it comes to your home's appearance. In many cases, it can take up to 30% of your home's facade. That's a lot of visual real estate! Choosing the right color for your garage door isn't just about making your neighbors jealous (though that's a nice bonus). It's about creating a cohesive look for your home, expressing your personal style, and potentially even affecting your home's value. A study by Zillow found that homes with charcoal gray or black front doors sold for $6,271 more than expected. While this study wasn't specific to garage doors, it shows the impact color can have on a home's perceived value. ## Popular Garage Door Colors in Omaha Here are some garage door color trends we've been painting around town: ![WHite Dove Benjamin Moore](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WHite%20Dove%20Benjamin%20Moore.jpg?width=204&height=204&name=WHite%20Dove%20Benjamin%20Moore.jpg) Classic White: You can't go wrong with white. It's clean, it's bright, and it goes with just about everything. We love the shade White Dove by Benjamin Moore. ![Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Benjamin%20Moore%20Stonington%20Gray.jpg?width=212&height=212&name=Benjamin%20Moore%20Stonington%20Gray.jpg) Soft Grays: From light silver to deeper charcoal, grays are having a moment. They're particularly striking on craftsman-style homes. We like the soft gray, Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore. ![Benjamin-Moore-White-Sand](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Benjamin-Moore-White-Sand.jpg?width=203&height=192&name=Benjamin-Moore-White-Sand.jpg) Warm Beiges: These earthy tones complement brick homes. A warm beige we love to use is White Sand by Benjamin Moore. ![Benjamin Moore Black](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Benjamin%20Moore%20Black.jpg?width=207&height=207&name=Benjamin%20Moore%20Black.jpg) Bold Black: For a modern, sophisticated look, black is hard to beat. We like Benjamin Moores Black. ![newburyport blue benjamin moore](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/newburyport%20blue%20benjamin%20moore.jpg?width=230&height=230&name=newburyport%20blue%20benjamin%20moore.jpg) Navy/Blues: A navy or deep blue shade can add a touch of personality without being overwhelming. The color above is Newbury Port Blue by Benjamin Moore. Remember, these are just trends. Your home is your canvas, and you're the artist. Don't be afraid to go bold if that's your style! ## Matching Your Garage Door to Your Home's Style Your garage door color should complement your home's overall aesthetic. Here are some ideas based on common Omaha home styles: Ranch-Style Homes: These low, sprawling homes look great with garage doors that blend in. Consider a color that's a shade or two darker than your main exterior color. Colonial Revivals: White is a classic choice here, but don't be afraid to go for a contrasting color like navy or forest green for a pop of interest. Craftsman Bungalows: Earth tones work well with the natural materials often used in these homes. Think warm browns, deep greens, or muted reds. Modern Homes: For sleek, contemporary designs, try monochromatic schemes. A garage door in the same color as the house, but a few shades lighter or darker, can create a sophisticated look.

Here are some fun ideas to add some extra oomph: Faux Wood: Paint techniques can make your metal door look like expensive wood. It's a great way to add warmth and character. Two-Tone: Paint the panels one color and the trim another for a custom look. This works especially well on carriage-style doors. ## Coordinating Garage Door Color with Other Exterior Elements ![Exterior of a home painted white with gray garage doors and pillars with brown stone brick.](https://blog.brushandrollpainting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Reese%20After%202-2.jpg?width=556&height=313&name=Reese%20After%202-2.jpg) Your garage door doesn't exist in a vacuum. Here's how to make sure it plays nice with the rest of your home's exterior: Match the Trim: Painting your garage door the same color as your home's trim or accents like pillars creates a cohesive look. Should your garage door match your front door?: Your garage door and front door don't have to match exactly, but they should at least be on speaking terms, color-wise. Should you decide to match them, it can seamlessly tie together your home's color palette. Consider Your Roof: Make sure your garage door color doesn't clash. Look at the colors of your roof, siding, and any other prominent features like pillars, shutters, your deck, or landscaping elements. The goal is to choose a garage door color that either blends seamlessly with these elements or complements them in a harmonious way. If your roof has a distinctive color, make sure your garage door color enhances it rather than competes with it.  ## Garage Door Color Considerations for Omaha's Climate We love Omaha, but let's face it, our weather can be a bit... dramatic. Here are some practical tips: - Lighter colors reflect heat, which can be a plus in our hot summers.  - Darker colors absorb heat, which can be nice in winter but might make your garage an oven in July. However, darker colors can hide dirt and dust easier than lighter colors. - Whatever color you choose, make sure you use high-quality exterior paint that can stand up to our freeze-thaw cycles. - Whatever color you choose, be sure a thorough prep work process is done before painting, so you have a flawless paint job that will stand the test of time.
