You would finish the edges the same as the interior of the door
because the interior of the door AND the edges are visible on the
inside when the door is closed.
That way the interior AND the edges match the rest of the interior
trim and doors (and the edges of the doors).

I'm not arguing, but...
I'm looking at my front door and with it closed I can't see the edges
enough to tell what color they are. Based on how it's hung (in a
corner) the only edge I could possibly see is the latch side and since
it's inside the jamb, I couldn't tell you what color it is if my life
depended on it. It's awfully dark inside that jamb! :)
However, once I open the door up against the right angle wall next to
it, I can see the latch edge and the exterior face. If I'm standing on
the front porch looking into the house I can see the hinge edge and
the exterior face. Why wouldn't I want these to be the same color
especially since the only times I can the edges is when the door is
open?

The way I look at it is if it was my house I would do what I said
should be done. With that said, it is your, or the owner's, choice.
So what ever makes you or the owner happy is what needs to be done.

I paint the surface of an interior door to match the room that surface
is in. If the door is open most of the time, I also paint the edges of
the door the same as above.
For your particular exterior door, I would consider a different color
for the exterior that coordinates with the other exterior colors, or
black or white. Depending on the budget, I'd consider a similar
appearing door for the closet...or paint the closet door same as the
trim in the living room.
What color is liv. room, exterior of house?
