Yellow Exterior Paint Recommendation

We're looking to repaint our front in a bright sunshine yellow, but all the exterior paints I've found in this colour seem to have terrible reviews? Any recommendations, I'd love to see any pictures too! Thanks

I bet your neighbours will be thrilled with this colour choice! I do hope you are not near me!

I hope you aren't my neighbours

I like a sunny yellow house.

Sandtex Cornish Cream.

Far from upsetting the neighbours, two of them have now painted theirs the same.

Although it's a creamy yellow, not too bright at all.

Yeah, colourful houses are awful, aren't they? Wink

As for paint recommendations, it probably depends on practical factors rather than colour. Stuff like what the surface is you are painting (brick? Render? Something else?). and the local conditions where you are (seaside? Exposed to extremes of weather?).

Oops, sorry. My front DOOR! So it would need be exterior wood paint.

@BubblesBuddy and @MrsApplepants I hope we're not neighbours too, but I'll keep an eye out for your judgy pants fluttering on local washing lines so I can steer clear, just in case.

My pants are delicately dried and definitely do not flutter anywhere! Actually the sunshine yellow ones are just too bright! Even in the seaside pix. Cornish cream/pale yellow is ideal for the seaside. Depends if you want to ever sell or not really because bright yellow divides opinion.

Oh, the Sandtex paint I recommended is masonry paint, for exterior walls.

This is what I'm really after:

If you meant the just front door, you should have said that. Nothing wrong with a bright front door. You can get dulux exterior gloss custom mixed.
Nothing wrong with not wanting to live next door to a bright yellow house either.
