Farrow and Ball colour for front Door? Recommendations?

[mummaemma]

Just started stripping off old paint ready for new fresh colour.

Just can't decide which colour. Anyone have F & B paintl on their door they could recommend?

My neighbours have down pipe, which looks gorgeous.

My parents have a smokey grey but it almost looks dusky blue but it looks beautiful

Thanks for quick response. isnt that a dark grey? have a dark blue at the moment. Was thinking of mid blue or green ??

not a great picture but gives you an idea

We have a lovely grey - RAF grey I think it is

Bliss - do you know what the colour is called?
Fidget - Cant find this on their website.

Shameless lurk as I was about to ask the same. I'm having a new gate made and need to choose a colour for it to be painted and then plan to do the front door the same. My neighbour has f&b green smoke which is gorgeous but I'd like to have something different.

quite like the look of green smoke. Trying to find an image of a front door.
what colours are you considering Koolforcats?
some i like are card room green, lichen, railings, parma grey, green blue, castle grey, pigeon, calke green, lulworth blue. so many i like. too many to buy samples lol.

I'm going to an f&b shop to drool tomorrow mummaemma so I'll let you know!

ok thanks would love to know what you choose. Have never been to F & B shop. think its 30 miles way. Last time i just ordered colour from Homebase.

bump - Anyone else? your suggestions very much appreciated :-)

I'm painting mine pigeon.

Well I ended up coming out with a colour I'd never intended! It's kind of purple bressica I think it was called. Not what I was planning so I hope I like it!

I mean brassica

Ooh yes have seen pictures of front doors in that colour. Does look lovely. If u r on Facebook their page is good if you look at images there's a brassica door. Great comments.

Ooh thanks, great suggestion! I just had a quick look and can't find that image - when was it posted/how do I find it? Ta!

make sure you are on the correct page, theres a couple. Farrow & Ball with over 71,000 likes. posted 17 may. Theres a couple of pictures on pinterest too.

Found it, thanks. I hope you get on well with your project. I think going to a F&B shop probably confused me more which is why I bought something completely different to what I had gone in for!

I've got green blue, its much greener than blue though and doesn't look anything like the website example

Whatkunffuthat thankyou blue green is one of my shortlist, can you have a look at my other post on "home decoration" called paint colour? theres a blue green there and i thought it looked more blue than green? thankyou.
Koolforcats, have you started painting yet?

i meant green blue??

Its been ages since I painted it but the door is covered and not faded by the sun so perhaps they have changed the shade a bit? I also painted the wooden frame of my conservatory and an old cupboard and it looks quite green there too. I have an old bench outside painted in Cuprinol 'seagrass' and its a slightly greener and duller version of that iyswim?

This is it on the old cupboard

I'm not a farrow and ball person but I think strong colours are best for front doors. Forest green or red or dark blue are lovely. At all costs avoid the grey green sage sludge type colour that spreads like a rash when areas gentrify (unless you really love it of course).
