what color front door with navy blue house
Comments (37)I'm sticking with my original advice! "Rich goldenrod is also a good contrast to navy, and has a certain elegance...think about the gold braid on a Navy uniform... something like BMoore "Dorset Gold" (HC-8), or SW 6369 "Tassel," which is deeper. If you choose gold, be careful to stay away from anything that goes toward orange, as the navy will intensify that tone."...See MoreMidcentury modern exterior paint disaster
Comments (16)They also paint a square of each color on a white background so you can see how far it varies from pure white. Altho I can understand how it might look as if that's the case, there's no way the background they're using is a "pure" white. The photography isn't the best but even from the crappy photos the medium they're using to paint samples on looks like it has a severe blue hue bias. I may have mentioned once or twice before to never, ever use white to compare colors. Casually mentioning it again, just in case. :-D Funcolors, do you think the cool december will not have yellow or pink in it? Cool December DEW383 3.04Y /9.4/0.1 It's well within the yellow hue family too. But the 0.1 tells us there is less chroma (or colorfulness) than the other color and 9.4 means it's quite light. However, I think I understand that they're matching stucco mix to the paint colors. Not painting the stucco with paint. In which case all you can do is keep your fingers crossed that they can get close enough. Because mixing stucco to match paint colors is not a precise process and they just do the best they can with the stucco base mix and colorants they have to work with....See Morehelp please - need blue for front door - house exterior is Dorian Gray

Comments (20)Thank you all very much for your input - especially those who went to the effort of making "renderings," how kind of you. Those were very useful, and helped me to realize that black is the right option, given my general risk-adverseness. The shutters and front door will be SW Tricorn Black. I'll post a pic when everything is done. I never even thought of painting the garage doors but you guys are right, I think black would look really good. We're not going to have the painters do it (given they JUST painted them white) but that seems like a job my husband and I can easily tackle ourselves down the line....See MoreRelated Professionals
