These are the Best Entryway Colors Designers Swear By (and the Shades They Say to Avoid)

White entryway with curved timber staircase, leather day bed bench seat, an artwork lit by three wall sconces.

First impressions are important. When someone walks inside your home for the first time, what is the message you're trying to send? What is the look you want to convey? Of course, as they progress further into your home, your chance to communicate your taste and style increases, but your best chance at truly wowing a guest is the second they step inside your home, so it pays to know the best entryway colors to use.

Pulling back even further, it's the color that sets the foundation for your entryway ideas. Are you going with big and bold — a strong red or a bright yellow — or a simple neutral? A calming surprise — soft blue comes to mind here — or a timeless eggshell white? It's all in how you choose your entryway color, though some are understandably better than others.
