Recommendations for sea foam front door color
Comments (21)Hi again Pipdog -- The deeper blue-greens will also work well with your red cedar fence and walnut "innards", but you'll definitely have a higher-contrast look against the siding (and interior walls). Since whatever color you pick will look very different seen from the outside (shaded area) vs inside (tons of natural light!), do you want to love it *most* from the front or when it's seen against the inside? If "from the outside" -- it sounds like you all tested at least a few deeper muted shades and didn't like how they looked? I worry those gorgeous mock-ups above wouldn't translate to how the color looks on your door as seen from the front, but it's all about how the light hits. Generally in a darker space if you want to stay muted while still getting pop, you're going to have amp things up with deep warm yellow-orange shades. Then if those don't appeal ...warm brights if you're open to them. In this photo, you can really see which shades jump out from the dark background. It may help you get an idea of how for the blue-greens it might work better to skew more toward a turquoise than peacock. Another example -- brighter vs deeper greens in context of each other. You see which shades jump out and which recede. If you want your door to come forward, I'd test colors that are lighter and brighter vs those awesome moody deep natural or oceanic ones. [And I still think your first instinct of a medium seafoam could work well.] Don't know how that jives with your preferences and goals for the house. Let's get woowoo for a minute: what kind of energy do you want that front door to convey? Relaxing retreat or tropical vibrancy behind this door? [You could always go the easy route and pull from your sky color for a fairly intense sapphire!]...See MoreDo you paint the sidelights on front door the color as the front door
Comments (2)All the same color because it's essentially one in the same element. In other words, you can have a door with no side lights but you can't have side lights without a door. That's why it doesn't make sense to paint the side lights a different color from the door....See Morefront door & shutter recommendations
Comments (47)Navy blue and also dark green, both go with your brown roof. Either one will look nice on your house. I prefer the navy. Yellow doors are not a favorite of mine, but, on your house the yellow door, actually looks very nice....See MoreGarage door and front door color recommendation
Comments (9)the colors in your first pic look very blue. I think you mean Pearl Gray. These two, right? wondering why you picked these colors when you have very warm, yellow tone stonework and reddish brown roof and wood trim? Since you have so much going on around the garage (the stone, the siding, the shake siding) I'd prob try painting it the same as the trim here is the pearl gray w/a white door Ignore this color. just look at the addition of windows on the top portion of the garage door. you might want to add that panel. I don't suppose you're interested in toning down the stone, are you?...See MoreDyan S
