Grey, and anthracite grey in particular, is the most widely chosen composite door colour in the UK, followed by black, white and woodgrain finishes such as oak. Exact rankings vary by supplier and region, but dark, muted shades dominate current choices, while blues, greens and reds are popular accent options.
Which composite door colours are most popular?
- Anthracite and other greys: modern, hide marks and suit most brickwork
- Black: bold and contemporary, but absorbs the most heat
- White and cream: classic and least likely to show fading
- Oak and other woodgrains: a traditional look without timber upkeep
- Blue, green and red: popular on period and cottage-style homes
Do dark composite door colours cause problems?
Dark finishes absorb more sunlight, so they fade and expand sooner than pale ones, particularly on south or west-facing doors. A door with a reinforced core and a guarantee that covers colour stability reduces that risk.
How do you pick the right colour?
Match the door to the window frames, brick tone and roof, and consider how much sun the entrance gets. Many ranges offer a different colour inside and out.
