I make such decisions on visibility. Sit on that room with the door 1/2
open/close and look at it. Now, close or open the door to its position where
it will normally be. Look at it again. Now, close the door fully. If you
were to paint the edges of the door will you see a different color around
the edge when the door is closed?

What I'm saying is there is probably no right way. I do what will look best
under most situations.

I am curious if there is a 'standard' or 'traditional' way to paint
windows, doors, and screens. By this I mean that if the exterior color
is one color and the interior color is another then which color should the
"sides" of doors, windows, and screens be painted? Are they usually
painted the interior color or the exterior color? Tangentially, what about
interior doors that connect two rooms of different colors? Which color is
the side of such a door usually painted? Lighter color, darker color,
color of the room most likely to be entered from, or something else?
