front door paint color-black shutters
Comments (5)The color of black and the color of beige will determine which green you need to use on the door. The door, shutter, body relationship is a color trifecta. :) You have to get the harmony right among the three in order for each to "look right" individually. Not sure what you have been focusing on as you select greens for the door so far??? But consideration of the house body color, then the shutter color should be the process for defining the field of choice for the green door color....See MorePaint colors for shutters and front door
Comments (0)We bought a retirement home and tomorrow we are painting the shutters and the front door. Thank God this is only four shutters instead of the 12 we have now! The vinyl siding is a very light yellow. We are painting the shutters semi-gloss black and the front door is going to be Benjamin Moore Red Rock. I don't know how these colors are going to look, but we'll know tomorrow. The front door has a little porch and is "indented" (lack of a better word, LOL). We wanted it to stand out so decided not to paint it black too. Hope we don't regret this, but it's just paint, right? What do you think? Did we go overboard on the red door?

Comments (25)Thanks all for the feedback! I do think I’m going with the darker blue, as I like the more classic look and the richness it seems to add. As for shutter size, I hear what everyone is saying and have heard this argument before. I get that the shutters I have are not functional or functionally the correct size. But as Kaillean noted, there are millions of homes with decorative shutters like the ones I have, and homes continue to be built and designed in the same way by all your nationally known home builders. If it was that big a faux pas, I don’t think builders would continue designing homes with non-functionally sized shutters. Practically speaking, the shutters on my home have been there since it was built ten years ago - removing them isn’t really an option, as our siding has no doubt faded from the years of sun and weather it has been exposed to. There would no doubt be an obvious difference in color behind the existing shutter if removed and the siding currently visible, and re-siding my home isn’t an option or desire at the moment. Always interesting to get different perspectives though - thank you!...See MoreBelonging Decoration & Design
