Door frame/door color combination

This may be more of an opinion type question, but.....you know how a room is most likely to have the walls one color and the trim another. Well, my question is, what is the accepted/traditional color combination for the door and its frame? I know the door frame is part of the trim, so is the door better painted the same color as its frame/trim or the color of the walls? Again, I guess there may not be an absolute wrong/right combination, but what are your opinions? BTW, for the record, the colors are trim dark grey/green, walls light grey/green. Thanks.

In my experience, 9 times out of ten, the door is painted same color as the frame.

I agree thats what most people do - but thats not neccesarily a good reason to do it. be bold - add color to your life.

And remember . . paint is great and inexpensive . . you can always change back the color to the traditional . .

good luck

wrong wall paint color

K

I painted my livingroom and now my hubby says it is baby ---- yellow. Now that I look at it he is right. How can I tone it down? I was thinking about a faux wood finish but I'm afraid it would be to much. Any Ideas? I was going to do all the trim in a dark brown but now I am hesitant.

Painting new Steel Door

bucket on Oct 07, 2003

I just purchased a new Steel Front Door. It now needs to be painted. It came primered already. What steps do I take for painting? Do I need to sand it down first. Whats the best paint and should I use a roller or a brush or by paint in the spray can? I want just plain white nothing glossy. There will also be a storm door installed too, so that will protect the steel door from elements. Thanks for any advice given.
