Matching your front door paint depends on whether the interior and exterior are the same color. Here's how to approach it:
-
If your door is the same color on both the inside and outside: You simply need to match that single color.
-
If your door has a different color on the interior and exterior: You need to consider which side you're trying to match and how the edge of the door is painted.
Matching When Interior and Exterior Colors Differ
The key is to observe how the door's edges are painted. This determines the correct color for each side.
-
Hinge Edge: The hinge edge of your door should typically match the exterior door color.
-
Latch Edge: The latch edge (where the doorknob and latch are located) should typically match the interior door color.
Therefore, when matching, specify whether you need the paint to match the interior or exterior, and then note which edge you intend to paint for a seamless look.
