One of my favorite songs.  Turn it up.  T

I would lighten the upper right dark spot.  It pulls your eye away from the uniformity.

Wonder now if the floor isn't too dark?

NO by keeping it dark makes your eye move past it to the door.  It looks a lot better.  Love that red.

No matter how you mess around with the picture, it's definitely a red door.

You could. of course, replace the red with black in Photoshop. But, as a U.S. President once said, "It would be wrong."

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

Might as well go the whole 9 yards, so Rob has his lady in a window frame… (sort of)

No, for Rob I think you need a different lady. How about this one (in a window in Italy)?

Now you're swingin', Eric

What was it inscribed above the front door to the 'Mansion' in Chicago? If you don't swing, don't ring? (Except in Latin.)
