Shade of purple for front door help!
Comments (23)Some examples of painted sidelights (and some transoms)^^ you don't have much in the way of trim: think about painting all of it the purple, or doing the trim in the house color to make it disappear. The "step" under the door I think should be house color. ^^i love how the whole door, side lights, and casing are one color. ^^here casing and "step" are house color ^^ in this case all of the fancy trim is highlighted in a trim color, but not having trim, I think yours should be purple...See MoreFront door help!
Comments (4)Hi there! You can paint the part between the door and sidelights white and also paint sidelights white, it will less emphasize that part. But I think door and sidelights look amazing now, and it would be good if you can pick up the right color for that part to match the door, like wenge and leave door as it is....See MoreBenjamin Moore paint for shutters and front door HELP!
Comments (22)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Many thanks to all for your thoughts and advice! I’ve used some them and came up with a result that I’m very happy with. As stated, I was looking for advice for shutter, door frame and door paint color. I used black for the shutters and shogi white for the door frame. But, I wanted a “pop” color for my front door and that was the most difficult color to arrive at. I decide to “study” color schemes and purchased a color wheel. I went with a complementary color to my brick. My brick is varied in color but overall a terra cotta tone. With the color wheel focused on those tones it recommended blue-green or green-blue. I came to the conclusion that my scheme would resemble “southwest” colors, thinking terra cotta and turquoise. My neighbor, that has an eye for colors, helped me make the final choice and I love it!!! The recommendations for no shutters on the ground floor was noted. I drove around my neighborhood and the community that I live in and concluded that it is standard practice to put shutters on my windows. So, I did. Thanks again to all that contributed to this post. Now, I’m off to Croatia! ✈️...See MoreFront door help, please!
Comments (6)Is the door in good shape outside of the finish issue? If so, have you had a professional take a crack at refinishing? If that is off the table, I'd agree with the above, Provia, HMI, and HomeGuard make very nice entry doors in fiberglass or steel. The latter two are someowhat regionally available. A factory applied finish being baked enamel if painted, or automotive grade clear coat over stain will do the trick in terms of standing up to the elements. Color-wise, I think that the pics above showing either stain that matches your garage door or paint that matches the windows are probably the two obvious choices. My vote would be to match the garage door unless you plan to change that....See More3onthetree
