Thanks. I saw that but wonder if it is the actual color because they say "suggested". It looks similar.

Nice doors. You have two general approaches. One of the distinctive feature of this entry is the contrasting brick and stone. They're very different. So you can: 1. Choose a color that picks up tones from both the brick and the stone as a way to tie these different materials together. A rust color would be a good choice. 2. Choose a color that contrasts with that color. Look at the color wheel and choose a color opposite. So if you choose rust, paint the door a greenish blue -- more green if your rust is more red and more blue if your rust is more orange.

Hi Debbie: Just got to check out Behr paints last evening. I didn't get any samples, so this is just from color swatches. Here's my recommendations: - If you can find a paint color consultant in your area, I bet it will be worth your time and $. They may recommend colors you've never thought of, painting the brick, etc. The sheen of the paint you choose, as well as the paint product can affect the appearance of the color you pick. Pros are great at guiding you through this. - To keep it simple, I'd do your trim and screen door in Behr Painter's White (PPU18-8), Eggshell or Satin Enamel - A safe color for your front door would be a green (assuming you don't paint the brick). I'd do the front door in Semi-Gloss Enamel. A few possibilities are (all Behr) Alpine Air BXC-38, Potting Moss BXC-82, Simply Sage PPU10-16. Would love to see you "after" picture!

I should have mentioned this before, but if you ever want to spend money on new doors for your garage, check out French Porte garage doors. We changed to those 12 or so years ago on our 1960 ranch. It made a world of difference on the look of the house. They are more expensive than regular doors, but what a change they made! There are also retro garage doors some of which might be cool. Until then, paint will work just fine! eta: we were posting at the same time. Love that door color, too. Like Wythe Blue, but more saturated.

I’d probably do a white base deepish brown trim. Nothing too dark. With light blue accents ( front door. Maybe shutters...)

These are the two choices the SW Paint online computer says the color could be.

I posted what it is, Beverly. I’ll take the word of the design firm who did it.

It’s clear the BHG picture has been altered somewhat, which magazines do.

Internet color estimates are darn near impossible but here’s one additional option. You have to test in your light of course.

IMO not even close to Moody Blue on any monitor.

Omg. I’m in Bizarro World.

Taking a filtered magazine picture off a computer monitor and plugging it into another computer site is correct over what the actual design firm who painted the door says.

Hilarious.
