Black Paint for Entry Door

Katharine David

12 years ago

We are painting our entry door black and are having a difficult time finding a true black. The ones we have looked at lean towards grey or have a really strong blue undertone. I have looked at several Benjamin Moore's, including Black, and Kelly Moore's Carbon. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

It's usually best to buy black paint rather than paint tinted to black. Look for the color on the can as Black.

Just don't choose Ben Moore Black in Low Luster, a mistake my painter made when I sent him out for Ben in Black. It has an almost chalky or sueded texture that shows every place it's been touched or rubbed against -- not unlike a newly vaccumed carpet does when you walk on it.
