Inchyra blue or bancha green front porch?

[Clarabellawilliamson]

Help! I need to make a decision, I'm having the front porch, front door and garage door painted next week and I need to let him know what colour paint to buy. It won't be actual F&B but colour matched.

Inchyra blue or Bancha green?! I change my mind on a daily basis about which will look best. It's a brick house 1930s with terracotta hanging tiles in the bay window. I also liked the mustard tester but decided against it on a large garage door. Do you have either colour and love it/ hate it?

I had bancha green mixed up at Johnsons and the test patch has been on my door a week.

It's alot more olivey and darker than I imagined.

Bancha green is sitting on a piece of card on my living room wall at the moment as an idea to paint some inbuilt furniture. I love it!

If I don't do the porch in bancha green- then I might use it in the front room, I do love the colour!

Do you have a front garden with foliage or a tree? If so, the bancha green might be a bit much outside.

On my internal walls Inchyra Blue looked denim. Obvs your lighting will be completely different, but just fyi.

We did Inchyra on our old front door and it was lovely - a statement and very ‘grown up’. I absolutely love f&b though and how they are different in the light. My house was full south facing at the front, if that helps.

We have bancha in our bathroom. If you find it too dark then the F&B archive colour ive might suit, bancha is just a darker version of that. But outside it will seem much lighter. There's an instagrammer who has bancha woodwork outside with brickwork: Here.

Archive colour Olive

Inchyra is wonderful and as pp says very "grown up"...I've used it internally and externally...looks hugely different in different light. Nice with terracotta also with black or white (window frames/guttering). Bizarrely works with wide range of complementary accents (turquoise, lavender, deep red, bright or pale pink, gold). Matches well into Zinsser All Coat Exterior satin (metal/wood/uPVC/brick).

We have inchyra in our kitchen west facing - it's a bit too green.

Thanks for everyone's input- I've made a decision and let the decorator know- Bancha green! Thought Inchyra might be a bit cold on a north facing front. Hopefully it miraculously turns the front into a gorgeous Doorway like @JaninaDuszejko posted! I can only hope...
