Assuming you have wood doors? If you have no clue as to color, put on
a sealer and a coat of satin varnish. Leaving a wood door exposed to
elements may warp it, loosen joins, raise grain, etc. If it gets hot
sun, especially behind a storm door, varnish may not last long. Good
idea in that situation to open the window of the storm door a tad to
let air circulate.

also assuming wood-based door, i'd prime with oil, or at least one layer
should be oil.
also similar to above caution: don't paint exterior woods with dark
colors; too much
expansion & contraction where sunshine strikes. (reds are "darker" than
they appear, but
i'm not sure about light absorption differences within the spectrum).
