Here is the door before in all of it's blazing red glory:
This is the color it was painted when I bought the house and I did love it for a long time. I think the Chinese believe red is good luck...or I thought I heard that once. Eventually though, it was in desperate need of a paint job and I was in desperate need of a change in color.
I have settled on green, just not on the exact shade of green. Something in the chartreuse family I think. Chartreuse is such a cheerful color. A chartreuse door just says this is a happy house, don't you think?
This is how far I've gotten with City Chartreuse from Valspar:
See that slightly darker swatch down the center? That's a bit of Benjamin Moore's Olive Tree. I really like that shade too. It's just a bit darker...maybe a little more palatable?
Weigh in if you have an opinion. I love opinions :)
