  Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron

  

  "I love a classic black door with white trim," saysBethany Adams, Principal atBethany Adams Interiors. "It goes with every style of architecture and color and because it hides everything, it's a practical choice too."

  Sherwin-Williams Breakwater

  Sherwin-Williams Delft

  

  "Sherwin-Williams Delft is the perfect welcoming color," Webster says. "It’s bold but neutral and complements a wallpaper, like the William Morris wallpaper we have in the dining room next to it. I’m obsessed."

  Benjamin Moore Cove Springs

  

  If you're not afraid to make a statement, go vibrant on every surface. Use a different color for walls, ceiling, and doors and trim. You might not think orange, red, and green would work together but, in this space, they do. The doors would never stand up to the saturation if they'd been left a plain white.

  Benjamin Moore Black Forest Green

  

  "Benjamin Moore Black Forest Green is the closest thing I can find to Charleston Green," says Jen Bienvenu, Interior Decorator and Vintage Dealer at J. Bienvenu Interiors, who uses the dark black-green color on both interior and exterior doors.

  "Sometimes I have it darkened by 50% which is really just removing the white from the mixture and adding back in Black Forest Green for more of a black with green undertones."
