Why are doors on some houses red?

People paint their doors red for various reasons:

1. Feng Shui recommends red for front doors because of the particular chi that this generates

2. Red is a warm colour, full of energy, and is thought of as a welcoming colour for front doors by many people

3. Red is also thought of as a warning colour by many people, so sometimes it can scare people off rather than welcome them

4. whatever your theory about how people react to red as a colour, it certainly says "notice me!" and people who want their door to stand out and be noticed will paint their door red!!!!!!

Red is a great foil to particular colours and colour schemes including

* white,

* white and grey, * blue, * blue and white * black and white and makes a real impact in these schemes.
