I think you can get it matched. Front door I would recommend a very expensive paint. Mylands do an exterior grade paint that is really lovely to work with and you can get it tinted by papers and paints. It’s expensive even for a small quality but if you are planning an accent colour it’s worth it. There are a few sheen levels available.
Just did a black gloss door in Zinsser All Coat, it’s primarily an exterior paint, and it came out well but the Matt black I’ve used previously was nicer to paint with and seemed to have a bit more levelling. I’ve painted a lot of white on windows and surrounds and it works very well. It’s better with a few coats of a thick undercoat for levelling though.
