Is this paint ok for a front door?

I'm open to other suggestions too though!

What colour is the fabric of the building? If you like the paint color that's the main thing!

There's nothing wrong with it.

It's meant for exterior woodwork and I think it's a lovely colour.

If you like it and you're not in a conservation area where things like this are restricted, why not?

Oh, I am in a conservation area! Better check the regulations...

Hm the exterior of the building is regular brick colour so it might clash. I might go with a more duck egg blue then.

I've had a look at ten conservation area documents and it's more focused on the actual shape of the buildings and the only reference to painting was regarding repointing and painting brickwork

I like it, but I have a peony pink front door.

I think it would look lovely if your house is built of yellow bricks, but not so much if it's red bricks. Green is kinder to red bricks.

That's a good point about the colour of the bricks. I have yellow bricks. Maybe duck egg is nicer with red.

The pink is lovely - our house is stone-faced (kind of grubby beige) & pink would look lovely!

Standard colours for new composite doors now include pale green ('Chartwell') & blue, plus grey & cream, but they haven't yet gone any further off-piste. Googling found this site though - they have quite a wild range

Lots of companies will make composite doors to any RAL colour - if you ask, they have colour books with hundreds in.
