Different Paint Color on French Doors

10 years ago

Hello! Are the paint colors on the French doors different - exterior and interior side? I'm thinking of having ours painted dove white inside and slate blue on the exterior side .. leading out to a deck..
Appreciate your input. Thanks!

Yes, these are different, natural on the exterior and painted on the interior. The question is where do you draw the line - here the paint wrapped the edges.

I would think it's the same paint that's used on the wall ..it looks like linen white or winter wheat or royal silk by BM .. a lot of beautiful creamy colored paint you can pick by BM..

It is the same color that is used on the trim, not the wall. The trim is Benjamin Moore's Linen White with a Satin Impervo finish.
