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 MoreHelp! Need to decide exterior paint asap! Looking for mock ups to help
Comments (22)Thank you Celerygirl for all of the mock ups....they are so appreciated! I['m still unsure at this point but what are your thoughts on shutters? Also, what is the closest Sherwin Williams color to your suggested Benjamin Moore Timber Wolf? I tried to google it with no success. I'm still so torn, Granite Peak was always my top but maybe a Gray is what I should go with? I literally can't sleep with this hanging over my head but I'm going to try, and probably like in the past, I'll dream of color and paint yet again! jck910 & katinparadise - I so appreciate your feedback too. Do you know what Sherwin Williams paint color is closest to BM Storm by chance? When you mentioned the blues weren't resonating with you, can you be more specific on the paint samples I have on my house? I wasn't sure if you were looking solely at the mock ups or those as well? (And I know have some dark blues in there) as well as some lights, the one on the left up top (Poolhouse) is my fiance's favorite but it's been a NO for me almost immediately. LOL Thank you all again, and please respond if/when you can, I greatly appreciate it. I don't know if I have to give the painter the answer tomorrow morning though I'm hoping I have until late afternoon....fingers crossed! Until tomorrow, good night!...See MoreHELP!

Comments (16)what direction does the front face? have you tried Hale Navy? I think that's the color on the last photo you posted above. Hale Navy with Pale Oak trim. don't be afraid of it looking too dark. against the crisp white, it's going to look great. Heck, I think it would look great in black! speaking of, this is Addisons Wonderland home, in a mix of Soot and Witching Hour. But it does look like soot. the white is Dove Wing. I actually painted my wall is a custom mix of Hale Navy and a deep black. You could play around w/your samples and pick one of the blues you really like but thing are too 'bright', and mix in a deeper navy or thrown in a bit of black. here are some darker tones for that one color you like I just found this one. it's BM Indi Go-Go. If you think the other navys are too dark, this one may be light enough aginst all your shade. Paired here w/warmer whites. I like the crisp whites better. Hudson Bay is another one that is dark, but not too dark. Here's that one pic you asked about: Here's Hale Navy BM VanDeusen Blue: (I've used this color. it's very pretty. if you home is in mostly shade, this may be be dark enough for you) BM Stormy Sky and Classic Gray on the trim BM Ocean Floor beautiful w/the greens. White Trim is White dove Maybe these others will help. Some of these are gray/navys. Decorators white is a cool white. great for a crisp white against the dark blue...See MoreExterior brick color for blue house
Comments (8)@Sammie J, I think we are rethinking the red now! We are definitely going to change out the railings at some point, and I love the idea of color for the landscaping. Not in love with the light fixture. I would say I like it and it's better than what we had when we bought it 6 years ago. What makes it look off? To me it doesn't, but I really don't have an eye for design and maybe there is something I'm not seeing. Always looking to learn new things about design as we go about updating this house (almost done with the inside - just need to finish the foyer, which we are doing now, and then finish the basement)! @Fairway Style Living, are you talking navy blue for the front door? That is what I think of when I hear "deeper blue saturation." I also know what you're saying about the shutters and considered that when we did our siding (I've read many posts about using more realistic shutters and definitely see the appeal for that in the right setting), but it also doesn't fit the style of our neighborhood. @JustDoIt, THANK YOU!...See Morepalimpsest
