I agree with emmarene. I'd keep the awning/trim/screen the same color, but give the door a different color. What paint do you or your painter like to use and I might be able to recommend some colors.

Thanks for both comments. I like the idea of painting the awning/trim/screen same color; door different. I was thinking of painting everything but window frame the same color. A dark chocolate brown and beige, but now I think that's a bit much. I've been looking at paint by Behr/Glidden.

Hmmn. I'll have to look at those color palettes. I mostly work with Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams and Dunn-Edwards colors. I may have time on Wednesday to look through some similar colors to what I recommend in other brands.

Thank you discerning design, I appreciate your help. I haven't looked at Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore. I'll ask my painter if he has a contract with SW. Behr/Glidden is available at local Home Depot.

Hi Debbie: Just got to check out Behr paints last evening. I didn't get any samples, so this is just from color swatches. Here's my recommendations:

- If you can find a paint color consultant in your area, I bet it will be worth your time and $. They may recommend colors you've never thought of, painting the brick, etc. The sheen of the paint you choose, as well as the paint product can affect the appearance of the color you pick. Pros are great at guiding you through this.

- To keep it simple, I'd do your trim and screen door in Behr Painter's White (PPU18-8), Eggshell or Satin Enamel

- A safe color for your front door would be a green (assuming you don't paint the brick). I'd do the front door in Semi-Gloss Enamel. A few possibilities are (all Behr) Alpine Air BXC-38, Potting Moss BXC-82, Simply Sage PPU10-16.

Would love to see you "after" picture!

Thanks DD, I'll apply the paint colors you suggested using BHG virtual painting tool.

Hi DD: I'm curious what color would you paint the awning?
