Please help me pick my front door color.

I am torn between BM Wythe Blue and SW Warerscape.

Waterscape is the bottom color on the painted piece of paper.

Wythe is the second from the top.

Thank you!

Btw, all of the woodwork and trim will be painted white.

    Red would definitely add pop. I think the two colors you're thinking about are a little too light. What about the Stratton Blue? Or a slate blue such as BM Hale Navy...

    To be truthful, I don't think either of your choices would enhance the look of your home. I think the Waterscape is far too light and would fade away against the color of your home. The Wythe Blue, while being a bit darker and offering some contrast, clashes the with blue of your home and looks "off" for lack of a better word. I know red is a very popular choice as a front door color, I happen not to care for it because it has become so ordinary. Since your home is almost baby blue in color, I would look toward a warmer, richer color to show off your entry and warm up the large expanse of light blue. You would be surprised how a color you would consider unthinkable. can look so beautiful in contrast with the color of your home!

    As I have looked over your home again, I'm wondering if perhaps what I thought was a "baby blue" on your home might be in fact a light gray-blue or blue-gray. Either way, my advice would be the same!

    Thank you guys. The post is a few days old and I had already went ahead and painted it Waterscape. I was going for a soft cottage look. I know screens show differently, but the color of my siding is actually pale gray. I really like how it came out.

    keako, your siding did look pale gray on my screen which is what made me think of a gray/blue door. I love the design of your door...one of my favorites. It looks nice...I think something a little darker might give the door/entry more presence. However, if you like it that's all that matters. I love your vision pic!

    This is a little different, but this shows the door color I was thinking about with your siding. Do you happen to know the name of your siding color?
