Development property- what colour doors?

fista

Hi All
We're currently doing up a house to sell. Walls are magnolia, skirting and ceilings white. What's the best colour to paint the basic, moulded doors we'll be putting in? We aren't looking to make any style statements just appeal to as wide as audience as poss.
Ta in advance

White. Nothing else.

No one is going to object to white and white paint is cheapest.

Considering the colours you're already using, then it's white.

When painting walls magnolia, we paint our ceilings magnolia. You can't tell the difference, it makes the space slightly warmer and it saves an awful lot of pointless cutting in.

Doors and woodwork in general can look more expensive, less obviously new and more 'period' in a period house if you choose complimentary doors to the age of the house and pick a colour like Gardenia but it won't look right with magnolia.

Time is money:).

I'd have to paint them all white if I bought from you:D.

You wouldn't!

You wouldn't even notice it if I didn't tell you. Even different walls painted the same colour in the same appear different depending on the light in the room at the time.

I was a bit dubious at first when someone told me they'd done it at home, but we gave it a go in one room and I had to be convinced that it wasn't white!

Why would anyone go onto a forum and ask complete strangers what colour to paint a door. Especially in a house that they are going to sell? Weird!

Simple! Cos I've never done up a house to sell before and don't want to make an expensive mistake. Makes sense to ask people on this forum, esp if they're in the trade. I've a few more 'obvious' questions to come so please bear with me.
White it is then.
