Centred on the capital Paris, it is located in the north-central part of the country and often called the Région parisienne ( pronounced English: Paris Region ). With your new input, I am defiantly going to paint the door naval, as soon as the rain period in the midwest is over.The Île-de-France ( / ˌ iː l d ə ˈ f r ɒ̃ s/, French: ( listen) literally "Isle of France") is the most populous of the eighteen regions of France. Due to all the shade, from the street it appears to be the color of the roof. I got a sample pot of naval and painted a medium canvas with it. When I saw your door, it seemed like the perfect choice. However, both the roof and the brick are multi-colored which is one reason it was crucial to choose a front door color that did not add too much variation, but still stood out.

My brick detail in front goes maybe 2/3 up the side of the front of the home, and there is white siding above the brick. My home has almost the identical brick as yours (with perhaps a little darker charcoal in parts). In fact, it didn’t only “work” for you, the door is a brilliant color on your home!!! I don’t know if you are aware of it, but the naval front door color choice was affirmed on a Home Front interview with the Sherman Williams color consultant in the Washington Post. Most of the items found on our front porch can be found in my Amazon Shop.Īnn, Thank you SO MUCH for your quick and detailed response to my post!!! I am happy to hear about your home and the shade, and that naval worked for you. *Some Sherwin Williams colors are available at Lowe’s as part of the HGTV Home Collection. If you are looking for a classic navy paint, but aren’t sold on Naval, here are some other choices for a blue front door: Of course, my favorite navy blue (and not just for entry doors) is Sherwin Williams Naval. Consider the other colors on your home and if you have a front door with sidelights, consider the color of the sidelights.Start eliminating the ones you don’t like.Look at the swatches outside at different times of day…because the light will change.Visit your paint store and come home with several swatch strips.To choose the right one for you, simply use the process of elimination. There are a ton of choices when it comes to navy blue paint. In my case, the sidelights are white and I have a blue front door. This will give your home maximum curb appeal by providing a contrast that catches the eye. Include any trim around the door as well. If you have a front door with sidelights, it’s best to paint the sidelights a neutral color, and the door should be painted an accent color. The color has not faded at all and is super easy to clean. We repainted the door once a few years ago…just one quick coat of Naval.

It is, however, shaded by the roof of our porch. Our front porch faces east so it gets the morning sun. The actual product we used was Duration Exterior Acrylic Latex. We applied a coat of gray primer followed by two coats of Sherwin Williams Naval in a satin finish. Here are details: Like I said before, the door was originally red. Having a blue front door made such a difference in our home’s curb appeal and if I can help you do the same, I’m very glad. When I published my Frequently Asked Questions, I shared that the most-asked question, for years, has been “What is the color of your front door?” I’ve answered it countless times, but I never mind.
