Front Door Colors

A fresh coat of paint on your front door is a small and happy making spring project. This group of doors is from the latest issue of Southern Living featuring doors of Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston is well known for its Southern charm, private gardens and welcoming entries. Maybe one of these doors will inspire you.

Notice that most of the doors have a planter which compliments the door color and greenery. The lanterns at this door are great.

Blue planters.

I  would add a second lantern.

This green is nice for a warm climate. There is also a very dark green often used on doors and shutters 

called "Charleston Green" which is 50/50 black and green. It first appears to be black but  the

 green is subtle in sunlight.       

A nice clear red is nice also. Legend has it that a red door means your house is paid for.

Just a few more.
