I painted my front door blue for a reason. I was actually considering black as well. But I thought black, although will look well with the rest of my white interiors, would be too boring, too matchy-matchy. Instead, blue is different and fun. It adds the pop of color which I needed to make my home less clinical. The shade is not any blue, but Greek Blue!. I just made up the name. It was actually glossy Nippon paint. The inspiration came from houses in Santorini island, Greece. The houses are all painted in white which are so striking against the backdrop of the blue sea. The white and blue is a great combo and is all time classic.
