Same exterior paint colour as inside?

I have a small entrance porch in my house. I would like to find the right colour paint for it.

i would like a colour rather than a neutral as I’m dragging the pram in and have grubby hand marks that I am constantly wiping off (thank you three small children).

we recently painted the outside of the house with the windows and boarder in Boringdon Green (little green paint).I am toying with the idea of painting the inside entrance the same colour. Would that look odd?

we have blue star tiles on the floor and a grey mirror and coat hanger. I’m just looking to do a quick paint job so I don’t want to change anything we already have.

Any interior experts here to tell me that’s a big no-no?

as I say it is quite a small area that is well covered with shoes and coats etc. what do you think?

thanks

I would use an interior paint with a slight sheen so you can clean it. Colour does not make it easier to clean. Their web site shows coordinating colours and neutrals - I like Ashes of Roses. Or I might try a slightly lighter pink like Nether Edge and I like Light Peachblossom too. I’m struggling to work out what LG washable emulsion is though. Farrow and Ball do a modern emulsion and obviously colours that are just as good. We have the wipeable modern emulsion and it’s brilliant.
