@Consolation I’m that other poster who hates most greens. Sorry @VeryHappy but chartreuse is my least favorite green after avocado.
I do like that blue @Marilyn posted. It has some pizazz, but it’s also soothing at the same time.
The place looks terrific, @coralbrook
ETA…after living in a house with orange countertops, and avocado green appliances, you would,have to understand why I also don’t like orange.
I would say if you want the broadest appeal to the largest segment of potential buyers, I’d go with a color that doesn’t upset most folks, like a shade of blue. Shades of green and orange can really be a negative for MANY folks, IMHO. I hated the green door of our home from the day we first saw it and was VERY happy when it was finally replace years later. We now have a door that is simply stained to show off the lovely wood grain.
I have two forest green doors (thank goodness on the garage and kitchen), and I can’t wait to repair them deep cherry red (can’t use blue as the house color is aqua-ish). So… go with the blue! I wish I can give you a gallon of beautiful aqua paint from SW. We used it as a starting base for our house paint.
Wow!!! Those rooms on House link with lime green/ chartreuse walls. That takes guts and I don’t like most of them. But love it when it’s a pop of color.
I always paint the front doors blue and they are lovely. But I might want to go a little bolder with this one.
Did you see that MCM on the Houzz link where they painted the shiplap entry courtyard ceiling and trim lime green??? Yowza. That’s going to be a “What were they thinking “ in about 5 years:). Bold and interesting
pick a blue color that wont turn off most buyers, and will “mirror” the blue color of the water they see when viewing the spectacular ocean view through the windows over looking the back.
DONT go for bolder[ i.e. non blue] , just cause you have an “image” of who your potential buyer MIGHT be.
Play it safe, so any potential clients arent turned off by a “what were they thinking?” color when they first see the home.
If the future buyer wants to paint the front door a bright MCM color, then they can certainly do that, after the close.
I don’t think there’s much if any of an ocean view due to pine trees on the west side. Not like the three flips on Point Loma! The house is at least 15 or more miles inland and probably looks toward NNW, which I think is the angle from the yard. There are plenty of mountains and sky, however.
I think the tiles in the courtyard are terra cotta? So the door can’t clash with that color either.
Two other colors that were recommended in the Eichler blog were Sunflower:
And Hot Tamale: http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/hottamale
This is especially true since you have already not guessed correctly on your target audience based on those who have already shown interest.
Folks like me…would look at a chartreuse door and think “OK…that is going to have to be repainted immediately”. And that would keep popping into my head the whole time I was looking at the house.
I asked my Mr. what he thought about those door colors… “anything but that snot colored one”! Yikes. And he is not a hater of green in general. Just saying. 
I like all colors of blue and maybe yellow. For the most part I don’t like orange and I don’t like green, especially lime green.
If you’re tallying votes, I liked most of the colors mentioned, but my favorites are the blue shared by @MaterS and @Marilyn’s Hot Tamale and Sunflower. My husband would hate anything resembling chartreuse or orange. I think anything red or blue would both pop and be safe.
I love orange, hate yellow but with a spec house I would go with a blue or a shade of red. I think those colors will appeal to numerous buyers.
You really have to squint to see a small sliver of the ocean in the distance:). At first I thought there was no ocean view, just sweeping views out to downtown. But the other evening I was here late when the sun went down and it highlighted the sliver of ocean
Glass delivered!! We’ve already changed out some windows and the difference is amazing. It totally highlights the views
Wonderful, cb!
Whatever door color you select, I know it will be a winner. You have a great eye.
Yeah!!!
Floor Decision Made
The other day I stopped at my flooring wholesale place. I pulled samples of all the clear maple flooring, some walnut, hickory, more cork and a really beautiful weathered oak (same flooring as the CC Remodel). They won’t tell me pricing, but he did tell me the maple was most expensive because it has a thicker wear layer than the others. And the weathered wide plank oak is on sale!!
Put them all down on the floor and, unfortunately, the smooth maples only come with a glossy finish and they looked yellowish in the house. I even tried the absolutely clear maple and it still didn’t look good. I just don’t care for the yellow tinge. Walnut too dark and fights with kitchen cabinet color. Cork pattern is too busy.
Believe it or not, the weathered oak has the right coloring even though I would not normally consider it for a MCM house. My agent came by with an interior designer on her way to another new listing she has in La Mesa that needs some spiffing up and light staging. The clear winner in their eyes was the Garrison Newport Shell Beach. It looked good everywhere we took it in the house because it has a very subtle grey tone which looks OK with the behemoth fireplace, the kitchen cabinets, the white walls, bedroom blue grey walls and up against all the tile transitions in the bathrooms.
So, I’m going to take advantage of the sale and buy extra so I can throw out the pieces that have a lot of knots or hide them in the closets

The Garrison Oak that looked the best in the house, even though you would never guess
Agree with your choice! Those maple choices are not that good. We had real maple hardwoods in House1, and it was not so busy/stripey as those.
