Quick! Paint Advice?

I don't care if this isn't the H&G board... help a girl out. I'm going to paint within an hour. DH is going to divorce me if our front door continues to be painted in a creepy camo. 

Purple or the greyer of the teals (not the bright one). Sorry for the huge/sideways pic. I'm an amateur. The house is a grayish color, white trim, black shutters. 

DD has NOT seen the purple, so I don't have to worry about facing her wrath if that isn't what I go with.

We painted part of my work building purple and it looked like Barney. Therefore, I vote gray teal.

The top one looks navy blue to me and I like it, so I voted for that.

But if it really looks purple IRL, Id do the blue.

Gray teal would pop more I think.

This. I thought it was navy.

I guess it is more of a navy? Looks purple to me.

I went Behr vs. BM and am regretting it.

I'm also painting it purple/blue whatever color it is and regretting the decision to paint in the first place. The hall bath will continue to be camo for a couple months most likely. =\

I like the top if it looks Navy Blue.
I’d like the bottom if it were more grey.

The middle is too bright for me.

I just previewed the navy and I love it!!

My trim is a plum purple color against my white house and I like it but I choose to keep my door white and just paint the trim as I couldn't fathom a purple door. Best decision ever.

I would go with how it looks in person hence the reason for painting swatches. Online it looks blue. But in the online room it looks dark blue purple. When in doubt paint a larger swatch maybe of both colors?

[k3am]

I painted a larger test sample. 😉



It’s purple depending on the light. Not Barney purple though! The front door only gets direct light for a few hours a day, so from far away, it just looks like a dark door.



And of course, I’m now noticing that the threshold needs to be repainted too... it never ends.

Turned out beautiful!

Gorgeous!

In case you’re wondering, I was team teal and DH wanted the purple...

[twinmomma]

I love the purple!

[2chatter]

I love it!!!!

[akafred]

I think I would call it a perfect indigo

[vasc]

Late to the party, and I voted teal, but I didn’t think you could go wrong with either color. Well done!

[waverly]

It’s beautiful!

This reminds me of the time DH decided to take up yoga and was looking for a yoga mat while I was waiting in a long line at Walmart. He came up all pissed off and said "all they had was this purple mat so I guess I have to get it"...and I laughed at him and told him it was obviously navy.

The yoga mat was navy by the way. For sure.

mustardseed2007 the door is totally navy now too. I could have sworn it was purple, but especially after it dried...

It looks great!

Whatever it is, I really like it!

[HeartofCheese]

I love the contrast. It looks great!

[186momx]

It looks great. Good job and I vote that it is such a dark purple it looks indigo!
