Trending Front Door Colors

What’s trending now in front door colors? Soft pastels. Although the traditional black and red will never go out of style on colonial homes, the palettes of many contemporary and new construction houses have been softened in recent years.

People are still loving the neutral siding colors: whites, grays, gray-blues, and sages. But instead of the dynamic contrast of a front door that shouts, we now have front doors that sing softly.

Possibilities:

Benjamin Moore’s offerings:

• Corn Silk, 198
• Revere Pewter, HC-172
• Simply White, OC-117
• Soft Pink, 2012-70
• Gentle Gray, 1626
• Touch of Gray, 2116-60
• Moon Shadow, 1516
• Colony Green, 694
• Yarmouth Blue, HC-150, a personal favorite of mine.

Spring is here! Consider painting your front door with a soft new hue. You’ll love it.
