Garden Gate / Front Door Colour

[MumOfTheMoos]

Just moved in and the garden gate collapses - it's one of those curly wurly iron ones so I'm going to replace it with a nice wooden one (like it would have had originally) - what colour should I paint it? What's in at the moment?

Eventually we will paint the front door the same colour. It's a late Victorian / early Edwardian suburban London house. Our style is more trad than uber modern.

Any thoughts?

Everyone near me is doing a very pale greeny aqua colour. Looks nice.

Agree... Think the colour is called Sage... It's all over the place at the moment.

We just painted our front door bright yellow, but I recognise that's not for everyone

[Lagoonablue]

Yes sage. That's what I meant.

[MumOfTheMoos]

Yes, that's a nice idea - especially as one day I will be putting roses and lavender in the front garden, it will go really well.

Thank you ; I was just a bit overwhelmed by the infinite options and needed a bit of direction!

I'm painting mine in a gorgeous duck egg/aqua (got an F&B colour I think blue ground matched to Dulux eggshell). I do like a bright yellow door too
