Karaka green's too dark. Forest green sounds nice. You'd think paint manufacturers would have colour charts online but I can't see one.
My house has the same colors. Painted frontdoor and gate bright red.

Assuming that it is wooden, you will find that it is not guaranteed and manufacturers advise it should be put in a sheltered position - weird for an external door. Thus, a lighter colour to lessen heat build-up. Used to sell them and read the warranties. Only ones with guarantee were fibreglass.

We had a dark-stained panelled wooden front door. It got lots of full sun: within a year the panels had shrunk and there were gaps and splits all over it. So it depends on how exposed to sun it is! We have a white-painted one now. Much better.
