A "standard" basket could be red geranium to complement the door with royal blue wave petunias and the white could be bacopa; all of these are heavy drinkers and would need to be watered at least daily in the heat of summer, sometimes twice a day.
verbena comes in red, white and blue, I've got it in a large stump driftwood piece out in the garden.

calibrachoa 'minifamous white' or 'minifamous light blue'
the flower is similar to petunia and it blooms continuously through the summer.
the white variety will get 8-10 inches tall and will spread out about a foot.
the light blue actually has a light purple flower. it gets about 4 inches tall and will be kind of mounded and spreads out almost 2 feet - will look stunning in a hanging basket!
i've got mine in 12 inch planters that are sitting on my front steps.

Linda, a good white tralining vine that I have had great success with is a potato vine. Pretty green vines and small white flowers. Would be a good companion plant to just about anything that stands upright.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

Thanx guys-some great suggestions that I hadn't thought of-so I am off to some nurseries to see what I can find.This will be weird as I usually go for the pinks,corals,peaches.I need to keep in mind the grey siding of the house(that's just been put on) and white trim and new red door.I think it will be a nice change.Happy gardening and thanx for the help!

oh, i wasn't even thinking about vines...and here i've got a tri-color sweet potato in one of the planters that has the 'light blue' calibrachoa!
there are multiple varieties of the sweet potatoe vine...at the place i bought mine they had 5 different types...solid green, solid yellow, 2 variegated, tri-color. and they said there are even more varieties available.
