Colors for The Front Door
Like the cover of a book, your door to your house, is the first thing that people see. Not only when they come to your home, but from the sidewalk and street as well! If you live in an area where everyone seems to have the same old boring doors, why not try something different and stand out from what everyone else is doing? Below, we have chosen a few colors that are really trendy right now when it comes to front door paints, so be sure to check them out. Hopefully these ideas will jog your creative side and help you come up with a new paint color to paint your door, or you can just steal the ideas below and make them your own.
Fire Engine Red
This is a really classic color, but it’s not for everyone! This shade is incredibly bold and the hue looks fantastic when you have a house that is white, blue or grey. If you want to make the door look even bolder, consider painting a lacquer on it to give it extra shine! Some colors besides fire engine red to consider in the red family are: Gypsy Red 6865 Sherwin-Williams, Heritage Red (ready mix) by Benjamin Moore, Tulip Red 1001 by Fine Paints of Europe, Rectory Red Floor Paint or Benjamin Moore Caliente AF-290 in High Gloss - the last one already has a glossy look to it, so you won’t even need the lacquer.
Purple or Indigo
This is a really cool color because it actually changes shades during the day depending on the light that shines on it, as well as the sun as it goes up or down during the day. It’s incredibly dramatic, like that of a black door, but it can also create a really crisp theme if its paired with a white trimmed or white bodied house. Not everyone is going to love this color, but if you can be a little different, this is one hot color to choose from. Some purples or indigo paints to consider letting your residential painter in Great Neck paint your front door; Hague Blue Matt Emulsion from Farrow & Ball, SW 7602 Indigo Batik, and Mood indigo Behr paint, etc.
Orange Doors
You might not think this is a popular color, but it is indeed trending, and I think you’ll find many people hiring a residential painter in Great Neck to paint their door orange for them. This is a really bold color, even more so than any of the options above, and it’s not a color that’s going to be missed in terms of people seeing it. You can see this all the way from the road! The one thing about this color that is difficult, is what color to then paint your house, accents, trim, etc. People seem to really like a darker charcoal body of the house with an orange door, but you could probably find a few other colors you like as well. Some oranges to consider for this project are; Pumpkin Patch S-H-250 by Behr, SW 6886
Invigorate, SW 6884 Obstinate Orange, SW 6650 Marquis Orange.
Black Doors
Black might not seem like it’s even in the same ball game as the above mentioned colors, but it is! A freshly painted black door, demands attention, and looks amazing with almost any other color. Black is always and will always be one of those colors for the front door that is popularly used, even more so, I think than the other colors mentioned above. It’s a classic that simply can’t be beat! If you think there is only one shade of black though, you are mistaken, like every other color under the rainbow there are different shades and different finishes as well. Here are a few black paint colors you need to check out for your next paint job; SW 6258 Tricorn Black, Pantone Jet black, Pantone Cracked Pepper, Valspar New Black and more. These blacks all tend to be blacker than anything, but you can also find blacks with undertones of blue, green, red, and of course gray.
