The front door gives visitors and passersby a first impression of your home – and, by extension, you. That's why selecting a paint shade that evokes your personality and complements the rest of your home's exterior has such a big impact on curb appeal (and marketability down the line). While the classic color choices like black, white and gray are timeless for a reason, the front door offers a unique opportunity to branch out and get creative.
Oscar-winning actor Robert Downey Jr. decided to go bold with his eclectic home in the Hamptons, choosing a stunning light blue shade for the entry. The pale blue front door color adds personality to the stately home, designed by New York-based Fox-Nahem Associates. And aside from the hue's calming impact, experts say the choice gives potential buyers a positive impression.
