More Difficult Than It Should Be...

...picking a color for the door or shutters of your house. It's a cross between being fairly "historically accurate" and expressing some individuality.  Luckily, color is not regulated by the Historic Area Commission (HAC) as it is in some other historic towns.  

The door has been stripped down to bare wood.  Our door has been renovated before as it only had one coat of paint on it and a patch in the lower right hand corner. 

Other neighbors and I have agreed it is difficult to pick a color.  I think I want a red; MM picked colors that well...I wouldn't consider. One suggestion I've heard is teal-blue but I'm not sure how well that will go with Forest Green Shutters.  I'm willing to consider options outside the box however.  I did want to change the color of the shutters to Charleston Green, but with 13-14 sets of shutters to paint...not right now.  Let's get through the doors.  Doors are easier to repaint than shutters.  Especially louvered shutters. 


This was from yesterday.  I'll be curious to see if any other suggestions are written down when I get home...lol.
