Hi, I am in the final stretch of my home renovation and I've always wanted a green door! A cross between emerald and grassy green, sort of kelly, not lime, hunter, or apple green. I am having a harder time visualizing it than I normally do! I kept the red brick chimney to keep it a bit classic but went more modern on the rest with the white and black. I am attaching a photo with the chimney mostly cut off, sorry!

I am currently considering BM Irish Moss or Amazon Moss. Anyone have PhotoShop and can help me pretty please?? Anyone have any other input/advice? Thanks so much!!

    How do I attach the photo? When I click on photo on bottom right of comment no I select my photo but then it doesn't show. What am I doing wrong?

    test photo


    The photo icon is in the middle at the bottom of the comment box. To the right you have the option to insert a photo from a Houzz album. Are you trying to insert a photo from your computer?

    You've got it now! Beautiful house. Sorry I can't help you with the photo shopping. I think a green door will be great.

    Thanks!

    If your house siding will remain white, I think I like the Irish Moss better. The Amazon Moss has too much yellow in it, and would be better with an earth toned siding.

    I need to go to sleep right now but can do it for you in the morning.

    Really pretty house! I have had green on my mind as well. I adore the green that Furlow Gatewood uses.

    Here is a loose mock up. I just took a door from another image and placed it in front of yours. Not sure the color is what you wanted. Let me know if you would like for me to change it.

    Also, lovely home! Have you considered painting your garage or is it staying the same color?

    Here is another with your garage door the color of your roof.

    You can play with the colors yourself. Ben Moore, Sherwin Wms and pittsburgh paints all have color visualizers on their web sites where you upload your photo and apply paint colors.

    Wow, thank you aktillery9 ! Looks great! I tried the BM color visualizer, it was terrible on my screen, all green showed the same ugly shade. Garage door will be painted white and more black contrast added with big black barn lights on garage and flanking front door. We eventually want to do a black acrylic roof overhang between the two sets of windows but that's further on for sure. I am planning on having a door knocker so good call! Thanks!

    if you have time and I'm not sure how long these things take, I'd love to see how it looks a bit brighter. Thanks so much, this is immensely helpful!

    I can't help with Photoshop but I love a grass green door!!! Jealous. It's my fave color and it doesn't go with my house. Yet. Both colors are gorgeous!!

    Our front door is SW Artichoke. It's a wonderful grayish green, not too bright, just right. We also have red brick on our house and it looks great.

    Is this sort of what you were looking for?

  • 11 years ago

    Less bright.

  • 11 years ago

    That last one looks perfect, thanks! Now if I can replicate that in a paint color....thanks so much for your help. Any other input is much appreciated!

    I just googled BM green front doors. Basil Green looks very nice!

  • 11 years ago

    yhallman--make sure you test it well on your door--the last few shades suggested look more like apple green to me, which you said in your OP that you didn't want.

    I still like your Irish Moss idea.

    Good luck!

  • 11 years ago

    You're right, it does look more like apple. I will try to make it a little more emerald. I will definitely try Irish Moss and look into Basil Green as well. Thanks!

    Oh, look at BM Grand Entrance Sullivan Green.
