Front door color?

6 years ago


I am trying to choose a color for my front door. I’m just not sure. Your thoughts? my house is tan with darker tan shutters. White trim.

    I'm not a designer, but I think green makes more sense for a front door. Both lovely colors, though!

    I like both.

    The eggplant would be a fun choice though.

    You can’t go wrong with either.

    Thank you. I have a lot of Flowers plants out front. I wasn’t sure different greens would go. I hate picking out paint. I confuse myself.

    can we see a pic of the front of the house? and the door???

    What about a nice cadet blue?

    I like the plum. It is unusual and it goes with your house color.

    Here is a bolder plum color that also would look good. Notice that Benjamin Moore paired it with a dark tan, so you are on the right track.

    I like the purple shades. Beautiful yard btw!

    think about layering the lilac metallic over any of your purples.



    I threw in some blush colors too. See the photoshopped pics

    Beth H. Thank you for the comment about my yard.

    Looks like plant fairies live in your yard. Beautiful. Love the fun colors that have been suggested.

  • 6 years ago

    Thank you all for your help. Wonderful ideas. The pics with colors are so helpful. I’m so glad majority of you like the purple shades as that was my first choice (my favorite color). I am fond of one color that you showed me and if I can find it that will be the one. Thank you all again.

    I love the middle dark purple one that Beth offered. Your garden makes it easy to choose since you have so many beautiful colors in it. Adorable house deserves an adorable color. Go for it!

    Hands down on plum colors, to much green in yard to make a statement.

  • 6 years ago

    Oo, I'm changing my vote to the deeper plum colors that others have suggested.


    With the picture of your beautiful landscaping the contrast is really lovely. I think the pale/muted purple in your original picture kinda blends with the siding too much to give an overall mauve appearance. But the Concord grape suggested by Mellisa R or the metallic plum that Beth H suggested would look awesome.

    Hi everyone. So here is a new shade. What do you all think



  • 6 years ago

    LOL - nice, but can you get a pic with the sun on it? The new shade is in the shade...

    Beautiful

    Will send pic tomorrow with sun on it.

    Nice plum colors. Be sure to paint the entire door, including the white trim around the windows.

    You may want to look into painting the storm door as well. Some folks on here have mentioned taking the storm door to an auto body shop and having them match the new front door color to avoid the white rectangle effect

    Looks good but we need to see it both in the sun and further back.

  • 6 years ago

    Good Morning everyone. Appreciate all the help! First photos taken today but I think will be brighter. Overcast this morning.

    A couple other colors to confuse my mind


  • 6 years ago

    Should I stop looking. Lol

  • 6 years ago

    The one with the 3 samples: I like the bottom right as it's more purple, less red. The others are leaning toward burgundy on my screen. We can't really pick for you as monitors represent colors differently.

    Once you narrow the selections down, buy sample pots and paint large poster boards to hold up against the siding and observe them over several days.

    I also like the more purpley one! For sure paint the storm door. I painted mine and it turned out great.

  • 6 years ago

    bottom right. Just do it! It's only paint. This is not a life or death decision. Worst case is you hate it and need to buy another quart of paint.

  • 6 years ago

    purple/eggplant is great! Love the front yard.

  • 6 years ago

    Lower right looks best on my monitor too. The others are too dark or something.

  • 6 years ago

    Cute house. Love any of the plum or straight-out purple tones.

    Thanks everyone. The lower right it is! Unanimous. Paint is the one thing I have trouble making a decision on. I know it’s only paint but I despise painting. Lol. So again thank you all so much for your input. Happy Thursday. Have a Good Friday tomorrow and have a great weekend!
