I no reason why not to paint over your teak door. In order to paint a teak door make sure to first prime it with an aluminium wood primer which holds the oils in the wood (which make it a hardwood) thus allowing the paint to stick properly onto the door.
If everyone had the same taste in life would'nt it be a very boring place to live. Where I work 95% of everything we sell is Iroko and I would say at least 80% of it gets painted if not more.
There are some beautiful colours about now and alot of people are going for a dark rich colour for outside and painting the inside of a solid entrance unit and door the same colour as the hall ie orchid white, magnolia etc so that you are not looking at a big dark block of colour inside as everybody is consious of natural light. I saw the most beautiful colour a few weeks ago and it was between a dark purple and a black - it really caught my eye!
Some people paint the door a couple of times a year with the seasons!
Not every house suits a brown door i.e. red brick needs a black door.
