Well, I found the picture I was thinking of. It was jan in wisconsin's front door. The color she used was actually BM's Cottage Red-totally not the name (or even the brand!) that I was thinking of! LOL Anyway, if anyone would like to see her pretty door, as well as some others, I've linked it below. Here is a link that might be useful: Old thread

My son wanted a deep red for his room two years ago--in fact that's where I got my screen name "Colorfast."= So...we found the best reds to choose from were Ralph Lauren. We had a RL color mixed into a Devine paint. Our paint store had done our favorite Red before and already had the formula for it. Yes, it's a little dicey asking for a color match, but people on the paint forum said RL is known for great colors and less-than-great paint quality. So essentially, you would not be the first. I believe we got the RL Hunter Coat red but also really loved Dressage Red (and some of the other Thoroughbred collection) and a few of the Island Brights. Note that the Paint forum advised me to do a GRAY primer over my already white-primed walls. With a white primer, your red will need coats and coats or it will look pink. Check the Paint forum. I don't know if your door is raw wood or already painted and they can tell you best.

This picture was not taken for the colors but to compare the new and old house numbers. I don't know what you call our door color. It matches a towel we had lying around. But our house siding is painted a dark gray with white trim similar to what you're looking at. Here is a link to some basic reds from PANTONE.

A red-orange, i.e., vermillion.
