How do I choose a color to paint my front door?
I have a log home with a dark green metal roof. What color should I paint my shutters and outside doors? Right now my doors are natural wood but need to be painted. My shutters are dark green.

Judy,
Painting front doors a fun color is really popular right now. I think you could go with several different colors and they would all look good. I think you could go with a few different shades of dark red, different shades of dark blue and even a dark bluish green. I think dark and light green works well too. Sounds like a fun project!
A Light Sage Green
Hi Judy. I'm Cindy. My vote is for red. Since you already have dark colors on your home, a pop of red would stand out. Doors and shutters red. Good luck Judy.
This might help you visualize.

Hi Judy! There are so many options!! Dixie Belle Paint has 64 colors, but I suggest maybe looking at something within the green family like Farmhouse Green, or trying something different like Mermaid Tail!
