Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Apr 14, 2012 4:10 pm Hi, We need help with a front door colour. We have a weatherboard house painted in Dulux Tinker. The roof/gutter/fascia is Shale Grey and the window/door architraves are white (I think it is Vivid White - just non tinted straight out of the can). Would a red front door work? If so, can you recommend a dulux colour? We are open to other colour suggestions too. The door faces west so would prefer not tooo dark thanks Re: Front door colour for a blue grey house 2Apr 14, 2012 4:23 pm What about a yellow door?

A red door would also work well. You seem to have a cool colour palatte so I'd probably go for a cool red like Dulux Jules or maroon, rather than a warm red. Have you considered a blue door? A bright navy, or something like Dulux Integra in high gloss would look good, particularly with the white trim to make it pop. Hmmm, but maybe not enough contrast against the grey for you, though. Just a thought. "Whoever says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain!" Re: Front door colour for a blue grey house 6Apr 16, 2012 5:55 am Those yellow doors look really good on the style of homes in the pics, but wont go with every style. Its all good and well suggesting colours, but if the styles and "looks" don't complement each other, it could end in a looking very bad and a waist of money......any chance you can post a pic of your elevation? If you don't want to put it up here, you pm me.

Ive just taken a photo of the house and will send it through tomorrow. Its a very awkward looking place, gunbarrel with a boxed in verandah thanks Re: Front door colour for a blue grey house 9Apr 26, 2012 10:56 pm This is roughly what I'm working with at the moment, but I got pushed towards the Western Myall which I'm really not liking. I'm thinking of asking they change it to Shot Over. The front and garage door are both Dune, as are the skirts.

Re: Front door colour for a blue grey house 10Apr 29, 2012 6:39 pm I got half way through answering this the other night and got an email I had to answer ASAP. I should have kept my colours I had worked out for you! Will try again later.
