Paint colour advice please.

Farrow & Ball vote here they have some beautiful colours and all of them are well pigmented

Another vote for F & B, inside and out.
Drainpipe Grey would be my choice of grey, plus, I prefer an eggshell finish rather than gloss.

I had already bought Farrow and Ball’s Molesbreath in Eggshell for my front door but, on reading this thread this morning, immediately went back to the shop to look for the Drainpipe Grey! I didn’t find it but found Downpipe Grey which I presume is the right name? Unfortunately there was only Eggshell for interior wood and they didn’t have the exterior in stock, I bought it in the gloss but have since googled for it as I assumed it didn’t exist for exterior and found it. I’ve sent off for the primer and the Exterior Eggshell. My husband wasn’t convinced we needed special primer but, being a big believer in not spoiling the ship for an ha’pporth of tar, have sent for the lot. I hope you’re all correct about the colour, I think the Molesbreath might have been too light!

Luckylegs Farrow & Ball's Downpipe Grey is a beautiful colour, you wont regret your choice I'm sure. In the morning, I'll take a photo of my front door, which is in that colour, and post it here for you.

I went for the F & B Downpipe Grey. It came out a little paler than I expected, but I still like it. Perhaps another time I would have chosen the Off Black.
Thank you all for the advice.

??‍♀️ Drainpipe Grey!! Apologies Luckylegs.

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with Downpipe Grey.

Any shade of grey would go well with brass door fittings, but how about a Cotswold pale green or rich cream? Or are there too many of this colour on neighbours doors already?

I don't believe you should paint the door to add a splash of color. I believe it will make the large arch appear disproportionate. Your home, in my opinion, is not appropriate for this particular trend.

I believe that painting all of the trim (including the door) a warm white that matches the windows would be a nice little upgrade. It isn't the same bang for the buck that a brightly colored door could provide for a different style of house, but it would be an upgrade, in my opinion. Here is a guide about paint for front door.

Humus741 This is an old thread and Shysal has painted her door Downpipe Grey.
