Martha Stewart

Everyone and their mother knows that Martha Stewart is the queen of the elevated at-home living experience—she’s built an empire turning everyday cooking, decorating, gardening and entertaining into an art form. So when Simpson Door Company had the chance to contribute to a Martha Stewart article on “The Most Popular Front Door Paint Colors for 2026,” of course we jumped.

Here’s what our very own Brad Loveless, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, had to say about the year’s trending front door color choices:

• “Try a deep forest shade (of green). Embracing this nature-inspired color creates a look that feels timeless and invigorating.”
• “Think sapphire blue, topaz yellow, or ruby red. These shades span the color wheel and offer dramatic and rich alternatives to the neutral color scheme that we have seen dominate much of the home design world.”
• “A painted black door sits at the top of the list of most popular front door colors for 2026—it’s a perennial design choice that will never go out of style. It's a smart way to tie together the overall aesthetic of your property, and many homeowners appreciate that it provides a classic look against a white or neutral exterior.”
