That is also what DH recommended.<br />Hi Lara:<br />I had selected Caliente from Benjamin Moore but found it too orange when I tried the sample pot. <br />I drove around and saw a door that I really loved and asked the home owner what the colour was. I was so surprised to find that it was the second option that I had and ended up using. The colour is Bolero from Behr. It was the paint with primer included. I bought it in a satin but if I was too choose again I would use flat (unless the door is very new).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1525366 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 23:18:11 +0000 Anonymous 1525366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We selected a burgundy red for my IL's house, but have not seen the end result yet. What shade of red did you paint your door? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524708 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:18:49 +0000 kerry 1524708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I agree with Isabel, wait and see how it sits with you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524620 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:50:57 +0000 Anonymous 1524620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but I liked the old one too so I think you make good choices and it's just about what pleases you the most.<br />It's definitely a blue-er shade of red than the old one but it's very pretty and I wouldn't have thought "pink", not that there's anything wrong with pink..I think if you go darker you'll be headed towards purple, or aubergine. Which would be fine too!<br />I'd leave it for a week and see how you feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524579 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 01:15:35 +0000 deb 1524579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524496 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:09:43 +0000 Glory 1524496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a diy so I can repaint it. Just a matter of getting the right hue, prepping and re-doing. Not horrible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524495 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:08:26 +0000 Astrid 1524495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Cheryle - I like it but I can also see what you mean. Would it be easy to change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524481 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 21:52:02 +0000 Glory 1524481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny. In some light it looks really great but in others more challenging.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524477 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 21:47:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1524477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does have a raspberry undertone. &nbsp;I personally don't mind that but if you aren't in love with it, try a slightly darker red in a color that is a bit warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1524459 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 21:31:58 +0000 Glory 1524459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies. I'm back with the end result. I had to try several shades and feel this one may still be not quite rights. My daughters love it and my son thinks it is "pink". He wanted the beige door.&nbsp;<br />First picture is the old colour<br />Second is the new.<br />Let me know if I should change the hue a bit. It may be a bit too rasberry. I have found red to be super tricky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1521723 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:56:52 +0000 MsMary 1521723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is purple and I love it. I think purple would go nicely with your brick, your house is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1521612 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 12:27:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1521612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your home is beautiful. &nbsp;I read that when choosing an entry door color, you should go one darker than your original pick because the color will look lighter in daylight. &nbsp;I like the red with the brick and brown too and think a deeper shade would be fab. &nbsp;The dark red with a purple undertone could work well too as would navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1521550 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 10:46:53 +0000 Summer 1521550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a lovely home.<br />My first thought, before reading the other comments, was to go for a stronger, deeper red (blue-toned) to complement the beautitful grey brickwork. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1521307 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:52:27 +0000 retailgirl 1521307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red. We have a red door on a White House with black shutters. ( New England, you know,) it's supposed to be good feng shui, if you are into that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520991 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 13:37:11 +0000 Gail 1520991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red I think that if you wanted to change it up you could go with a brighter red but it it still needs to be rich and not have too much orange in it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520781 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 04:29:27 +0000 deb 1520781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a deep teal or aubergine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520563 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:50:27 +0000 Glory 1520563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of the support. I have been to the paint store on the way to pick up the kids from camp. Have a couple of great contenders. Red it is.

Ours is red (can't take credit for the color though) and every time I'm working in the yard I receive compliments on the door from neighbors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520506 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:33:41 +0000 Sal 1520506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a red front door and tried about 8 different test pots. Eventually got one I liked. Getting the red/ brown/ pink balance was the key. I agree red would look terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520461 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:47:38 +0000 Glory 1520461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks ladies. I think you are right. I found an online tool where you can load your item and play with several colours. The red is very inviting. Now to find the perfect shade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520457 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:41:49 +0000 Astrid 1520457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Crutcher - I like the red, I'd just go with an updated color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520440 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 18:09:21 +0000 crutcher 1520440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your home is lovely...I would go with a deeper red...The color you have is perfect..just needs some updating... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520349 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:18:03 +0000 Maneera 1520349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a really beautiful house! </p> <p>I would either paint the door in the colour of warm wood, to create the rustic wood and brick look and feel. Or I'd go with a pristine white juxtaposed with the brick. That would make the door really stand out and shine. </p> <p>Whatever you do decide, I'd love to see the final pictures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/front-door-color-advice#post-1520275 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:56:17 +0000 Glory 1520275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My house is being painted at the moment - the upper part is white with dark brown trim. Currently my door is an rustic red color and will have to be painted as well.<br />I am completely stumped on what color paint it. I have attached a few photos of what it currently looks like.<br />I was thinking of a deep taupe or possibly a stronger red.<br />All thoughts and advice gratefully accepted. </p>
