Front door color please

11 years ago

Hello houzzers,

I am struggling with finding the appropriate color for my front door. I was initially thinking red (like ochre) but now I am not sure whether it'd blend well. The re-stucco job came out a bit creamier for my taste (my intention was for it to be some light grayish/greenish but oh well... Now I am stuck with it... and I would not like to have it painted for budgetary reasons for the time being). The windows trim is bronze, similar to the fascia board, with the roof being a charcoal. What do you think?

Thanks much in advance!

p.s. The color you see now is actually from the primer coat (with some patch work).

oops premature send. I was playing around in Behr colors and found that Frosted Pomergrante would be really pretty with the current scheme you have. It is a bit of a mid tone reddish purple but would compliment the brick patio, trim and house color.

Thanks! It looks promising indeed. I'll get a sample and see how it would look.

haha thank you. Hopefully the color isn't too much. I went through 8 blues on my front door until I was finally happy. It's funny how something that seems so easy is never all that easy.

Did you actually paint the whole door 8 times? or just sampling those 8 different blues... just curious :)

I ended up painting it 8 times. Each time I was sure I loved it until I stepped back to the street. It just didn't look right with the siding color. I live in a condo and have a shared front porch. Our siding is a creamy yellowish beige and the front porch roof is a brick red tin. My blues kept clashing until I found one in a more muted shade. Before all the blue the door was hunter green.
