What color front door?

[thewop]

Here is the front of our house (pic is 5 years old but it's pretty much the same).  We're repainting the shutters (same color, just revived- Behr Juniper Berries) and I thought about painting the front door, too.  Right now it's just primer white. Suggestions?

Medium to deep purple would look charming.

I like doors that stick out, so I think I would do yellow.

I love red front doors.

[thewop]

Oh, forgot, I do NOT want a red door. 4 people on our short street have red doors. I'm difficult!

 I just googled this and I really like it.

[thewop]

What about SW Rainstorm?

[mrs.jacinthe]

Plum.

With those shutters, it would look amazing.

I would think if the shutters are going to be a blue/green type color that I would go with something different for the front door.

I like that blue if you want coordinated. I have no problems with that.

I saw 2 purple doors on my run through the town the other day. One was a really light lavendar the other a deep plum. I loved them both for different reasons and I don't really do purple.

I also like yellow. What about aqua..I know that's your favorite.

Dark plummy eggplant....so dark it's almost black.

Or classic high gloss black.
Or, take the color of the shutters and go a few shades darker on the paint strip.

[thewop]

Plum Jam?

I dig that one you just posted. So fresh, fun and clean but still different.
What about green as pp suggested? I always like that too.

This post makes me want to repaint my doors. I think I'm stuck though. Gray house, white shutters. All the farm buildings are red/white and you can see them together with this house. They're red right now but I'd like something different. I thought about black but worried the south sun would fade it in about 10 minutes. There's not much else that coordinates with all that red and white.

Oo, or SW Kimono Violet?

 

[thewop]

SW Outrageous Green? Too much?

This or SW Mature Grape were kind of the two colors I had in mind.  Mature Grape was my second choice.

Kimono Violet is what I keep coming back to.  I will have to pick up some chips/samples when I get time.

That Outrageous green rocks my world! It's one of my favorites.

But we all know I lean towards the "too much" whenever possible.
It's only a door. Live it up! Plum Jam still sticks out to me a lot too.

[mrslch]

I like Behr Skipper or Behr Black Orchid.

[darby]

Another vote for plum/purple. I like both the Plum Jam & Kimono Violet.

[thewop]

Found another one I really like.  Behr Realm.

[magdala]

I like the plum jam better than the realm, but I suggested plum not teal.

[emoflamingo]

I also vote purple.

[sierramist03]

I will always vote purple when possible but that lime green is awesome too!
