Mine is Green Gloss and its matched our house which is red painted bricks (the bricks were already painted before i moved in).

i wanted Green colour to stand out from the row of houses on the main road.

Currently an unpleasant orangey-brown (previous owner's choice). Tomorrow I am painting it a muted pale green colour (think it is called Chappell Green).

Brown - I hate it and will be painting it blue, when I have the time

Used to be green but now it's a F&B blue - chosen because I love blue and it will go better with the rug in the hallway. Turned out a brighter shade than I expected though...

It's not only oak but it has to be stained in antique oak because the house is listed and in a conservation area (how dull!)

Sort of sagey green, because was fed up of the previous glossy red showing all the dirt and dust.

Mine is a very pale greyish blue low-gloss paint from Farrow and Ball. We have chrome letter box etc and it looks great. I love it.

I really can't stand white upvc doors with those weird handles. Why would anyone choose that?

Saw it at a restaurant in Bath and thought it looked great
