Door Color Finder
Two inputs: your door's compass direction and your Chinese zodiac sign. One output: the best color to paint your front door.
Stand inside your house, look out through the front door. The direction you're facing is your door's facing direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my door faces between two directions?
Use your phone's compass app for a precise reading. If the reading falls exactly on the border (e.g., exactly 22.5°), choose the direction that feels more accurate based on the sun — does the morning sun hit your door (E/SE) or the afternoon sun (W/SW)?
What if I can't paint my door (rental)?
Place the recommended color near the door instead: a doormat, a potted plant with flowers in that color, a wreath, or a piece of art on the wall just inside the entry. The color energy still registers without painting.
Does the zodiac sign really matter for door color?
The direction gives the foundation — each direction has an element and a preferred color range based on the five-element cycle. The zodiac adds a personal layer: it tells you whether to lean warmer or cooler within that range based on your birth year's element. The final recommendation combines both.
