What does your front door color say about you?

A front door in blue.

Choosing the perfect paint color for your front door is more important than you might think. Welcoming guests with a first impression, the chosen color is the first chance you get to put your stamp on your home and showcase your personality, all before your visitors have even stepped indoors. 

It's a subtle yet powerful expression of character, so think carefully before investing in that pot of paint and make sure the color you select has real staying power. ‘A fun pop of color can make an impact and grab attention to let visitors know how to approach your home, while traditional shades that complement your home’s charm and design can create an overall cohesive look on the exterior of your space,’ says Ashley Banbury, senior color designer at Dutch Boy Paints.
