For a fool-proof yellow check out Marigold Yellow by Benjamin Moore Paint Colors.

A bright blue will be an appreciated contrast for more neutral exterior color schemes while a muted, gray blue is more versatile. For a fun and trustworthy blue, consider shaking things up with Blueberry Hill by Benjamin Moore Paint Colors.
Aqua/Turquoise

Red
Red is a statement color, and the statement you make varies greatly and depends on where you fall on the spectrum. Bold reds are great for complimenting modern architecture or monochromatic homes, while deeper, more traditional red paint colors pair well with colonial, classic curb appeal. For a vibrant red, take a look at Antique Red by Sherwin Williams paints.
Black
Black is an elegant front door choice, especially when finished in a sleek, glossy exterior paint. It is a versatile choice as it pairs well with almost every other color imaginable. When working with a darker exterior paint color, be sure to paint the trim around your front door white, so your sexy new black door does not blend into the background. If black is your choice, you cannot go wrong with Carbon Copy.
