Help me choose a front door colour! (Photos)

We are having our front door painted once it's warm enough. It's an Edwardian semi, and the front room windows and front door glass panels both have tinges of green in some panes.

It's currently a hot pink Confused from the previous owner. See photo. I'm considering a grey green like Farrow & Ball Mizzle or Pigeon. See photo from FB website of Mizzle. I did consider Cromarty but the interiors shop I spoke to advised colours always look a lot lighter outside, and I didn't want the front door to look too pale.

Would Mizzle go? I've always had dark doors, so is there anything I should consider regarding going for a light door?

I still think you need to go darker OP. The paint samples you posted look very bland. I like them all, but not for the door. I would look again if I were you, green smoke, card room green or even vert d’terre. We have that in our hall and it’s lovely. Also, I’m a bit over invested as we will be building a front extension soon on a 1930s house, and front door colour takes up far too much of my headspace😂

I love this Edwardian stained glass door

That’s perfect, Wonkylegs.
I know exactly what you mean, Heron

It looks such a lovely frontage, I think it needs a 'happy' colour.

How about Teal?

I agree wonkylegs. That looks similar to Studio Green. Very very dark green, looks almost black in the shade but green in the light.

I agree with you @HeronLanyon that is a bit wishy washy. Black would look better for that door.

Sigh. I might just go with black gloss then. Or Green Smoke. I will consult with my husband. I wish there was a way to mock it up to help me decide. In fact, let me see if I can do it crudely in Paint!

Here for an update on the door- do post a picture if you have painted it

I'm here! But the door remains pink. We were let down by some builders, and then another project took priority, so the pink lives another day. My latest thinking on colour hasn't changed since my last post - black gloss. I liked the idea of what someone referred to as 'Downing Street black'.
