After years of indecision, DW finally picked out an accent color for our exterior doors and shutters. Body color is a grayish green, trim is a cream color and accent is black.
Here’s the rub: we have full view storm doors which I’ve painted the accent color to match the primary door. She wants the storm door frame painted the accent color as well. I say it should be the trim color (the frame is installed on brick mould so that would leave an inch or so of the brick mould painted the trim color). My thinking is that the storm door frame should blend into the trim.
What say you guys?

I'm kind of an odd ball in that I like houses all one color.
Some people go to great lengths to get as many different colors as they can on the exterior.
for example: one color for siding, another color for windows, a third color for the trim around the windows, and a fourth color for the front door.
My best advice for you is to do whatever your wife says to do.
Always remember this saying "happy wife equals happy life" and you'll never be wrong.

"My thinking"
Thinking is not allowed in these circumstances.

If she wants it painted the accent color as well, than just paint that little bit of brick mould the accent color also, and call it a day.
I know if it was my wife, if we didn't agree, she would paint it herself on saturday when I went to work. Painting is one of my least favorite activities.

>>>>>>>>>just paint that little bit of brick mould the accent color also, and call it a day.I can do that on the back door, but not on the front. The back door has a window with the same brick mould beside it separated by about 4" of siding. It would look weird to me to have the moulding on one unit a different color than the one beside it. On the front door, there is a glass block side light, so there's no stopping place. The same brick mould cases them both.http://grantlogan.net/
any verdict yet?^^^^^^

All I was wondering about is if you paint the doors or frames a dark color, won't the heat cause problems?
