Dark Interior Doors: To Paint or Not to Paint?

I've circled this question for months: do I want white or dark interior doors?

I've tried several shades of gray, and they were enticing.

 Each one called to me with a siren song.

Should I put wax in my ears?

 

A white door in a white room is classic and gives a seamless look.

Why am I tinkering?

Because I can't resist.

I can't stand an unsolved mystery.

Will and I decided to paint one door a dark charcoal gray.

Just one.

Several people were milling around the house. I asked for opinions.

Anonymous no. 1: "Black doors? Hmm, I've never seen this before."

Anonymous no. 2: "Well, it's in style. I'm getting used to it!"

Anonymous no. 3: "You're brave." (Body language said: Nutjob!)

Bandwidth: "Uh, whatever."

Will: "I like it."

Me: "This is too hard. Maybe we should try a lighter shade on another door."

Will: "Which one?" 
(In this photo you can see multiple paint pots.)

What do you think?

Would you paint or not paint?

1. Dark doors will be so over in a few years. Keep them white.

2. Dark is classic! Paint them dark charcoal.

3. Try a lighter gray.

4. Go have a Paintini martini and think about it tomorrow.

Actually, I don't drink martinis, so I made cream-filled donuts--the easy way, of course. 

See you tomorrow night at Foodie Friday!
