Using colour on skirting boards and doors in hall, what colour to do other side of doors?

Thinking of painting skirting panelling, doors and front door inside all in a gentle green in the hall. What do you do with the other sides of the internal doors?

The bit you see when you open the door inside the room stays the same colour as the rest of the room. So for a traditional inward opening door, that means the back of the door and the latch edge are one colour and the front of the door and hinge edge are the other. But it can be a pain to get the line right.

We’ve done this, the hall side of each door is a greeny grey (as is all other hallway woodwork) room side of the door is white to match woodwork in rooms.

As flamingolingo says there are rules to follow about which edges get which colour, it’s all about what you see when the door is open.
