Benjamin Moore’s Aura® Grand Entrance® line, specially formulated for front doors, is available in any color.
Most exterior paint colors and materials lean toward neutral shades, so a colorful front door is a chance to express your personal style through a central exterior architectural feature. Adding a statement color to the front door is comparable to what a silk scarf or tie does for an outfit—a small dose of color can do wonders to uplift the façade of a home while complementing the architecture and surrounding landscape.
Hot shots of red, yellow or orange are naturally warm and exuberant. Vivid accent colors make a strong design statement but mix surprisingly well with most other shades, especially the neutrals most often used as the primary color of a house.
Green, gray and blue doors are a naturally gracious expression for the entrance to your home, especially when they contrast with a house’s warm undertones. For impact, search for saturated colors that will pop from surrounding architecture.
Take your color cues from inside the house to pick a paint color you’ll love. Think about the colors of the space your door will open into. Pull a strong accent color from those spaces for color continuity or choose a more saturated shade of a primary interior color. And don’t worry about fading. Benjamin Moore Aura Grand Entrance is as durable as it is beautiful, specially formulated to go on smoothly and retain its color and gloss.

When it comes to choosing paint, we often spend several hours selecting the perfect shade, but tend to overlook the actual product, its quality and composition. With so many options, it can often be overwhelming to choose the right product for your project. Benjamin Moore Color and Design Expert, Sharon Grech, shares her criteria for choosing quality paint with lasting color, for any upcoming project. “You’ve probably spent days, weeks or even months choosing that perfect color and are excited to see your space come to life,” says Grech. “It’s important to consider the quality of the product you are using and its ability to deliver a vibrant color that has full coverage, longevity and durability. Benjamin Moore® paints engineered with its proprietary Gennex® Color Technology delivers impeccable quality and one-of-a-kind hues for unrivaled richness of color.” Color That Doesn’t Compromise Coverage You may have chosen a bold shade of red paint for your project, but if you’ve opted for an inexpensive, low- grade product, you may be disappointed with the performance of your color and finish. Choosing a premium quality product can save you on several coats of paint and time. “This is especially important when painting with bold and vivacious hues like blue, purple and red,” says Grech. Gennex Color Technology uses proprietary resins and colorants to deliver a wide range of vibrant hues that last, while providing superior hide. “Our color consistency is the precise result of Benjamin Moore paint and Benjamin Moore Gennex colorant, together. This particular pairing is what makes Benjamin Moore products impossible to replicate and helps you achieve your desired look, with fewer coats,” says Grech. Paint That Goes the Distance There’s nothing better than the look and feel of a freshly painted space. The question is, will it withstand the test of time? Benjamin Moore paints engineered with Gennex Color Technology resist color fading inside and outside of the home, while standing up to harsh weather conditions outdoors. So whether you’re painting a high-traffic area indoors or your exterior front door, it’s important to choose a product that will continue to perform years after application. “Fewer applications means less product and less time spent painting,” says Grech. “Benjamin Moore paint provides both premium color and proven performance across the entire color spectrum, so you only repaint when you want to, not because you have to.” Unmatched Performance There is much more than meets the eye when it comes to choosing the right paint. “Most of us choose our color and finish without considering the product itself or how it’s formulated,” says Grech. Making paint is a very technical and scientific process that varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and ultimately impacts the overall life and performance of the product. “All paint manufacturers use a different formula of colorants and chemicals to develop their products, however, the more unnecessary chemicals added to a product, the weaker the formula,” says Grech. “More than 100 chemists, chemical engineers, technicians and support staff work tirelessly to ensure Benjamin Moore formulations are best-in-class.” Gennex Color Technology, was specifically designed without the use of unnecessary chemicals that often weaken paint. This innovative formula, is exclusive to Benjamin Moore products and is the reason why its quality and color simply cannot be matched or replicated by other brands.

You want to love the colors that surround you. So when imagining (or re-imagining) a room, remember the influence color will have on the mood of the space. The effect may be subtle or dramatic. It can encourage tranquility or boost energy, even make you feel optimistic or more introspective.
To begin to understand color’s emotional impact, start with these color groups:
Pales – Their light, airy qualities make pale hues feel uplifting.
Neutrals – It’s no surprise that earthy, nuanced colors keep you grounded.
Whites – Pure and pristine, these timeless colors offer a blank canvas to express your style.
Deeps – Bring drama to a room with colors that are rich and mysterious.
Pale colors like dusty lavender, ballet pink and sky blue are comfortable and easy to live with. They feel positive and encourage expression, while enhancing other colors.
Neutrals go beyond gray and brown into earthy hues like slate, clay, sand and ochre. Colors in this family can be warm or cool, but are always reliable and levelheaded. And because they transition beautifully with shifting light, they’re a good choice for rooms used throughout the day.
Whites can easily feel contemporary, classic or anywhere in between. It’s an honest, harmonious family of colors and a great place to start, as they complement any style. You might call it a perfect backdrop for the life happening around it.
Voilet, onyx, sapphire and ruby—even the names evoke something dramatic. Deep colors dissolve boundaries and create depth. They are the opposite of understatement and can fill a room with energy, creativity and confidence.

Interior Repainting Tips
The most common reason to repaint the walls is to change the color and thereby alter the appearance of the room. Before you get started, keep these interior repainting tips in mind:

Have you noticed that the wall in your living room could use a few touchups? Scuffs and scrapes can leave unsightly marks on the wall or chip the paint away. You go to the shed to grab the old paint can you initially used to paint the walls, but to your dismay, the paint has dried out. Now you’re left with the task of matching the paint color, or you’ll be forced to repaint the whole room. Follow these tips to achieve the closest color match possible.
Bring in a Good Sample
The better the sample, the better the color match will be. If you have the original paint can, the drippings down the side may serve as a sample. However, it’s preferable to bring in a clean paint chip about two inches across with no sheen, texture or metallic finish to serve as the sample.
Magazine clippings and photos taken on your phone are no good. Variances in lighting, printer ink and phone screens make it impossible to match paint color this way.
Compare Your Sample with Paint Swatches at the Store
If you know the brand and, better yet, the name of the paint, you have a promising place to start. However, individual batches are mixed slightly differently, and paint manufacturers change their offerings over time. The color you painted your walls years ago may no longer be in production. Therefore, visiting a paint store to find out what’s still available is an essential step in matching paint color.
View the Paint Sample Under a Spectrophotometer
This device measures color electronically, which is much more accurate than attempting to match paint colors by sight alone. After reading the precise wavelengths of light reflected from the sample, the program calculates the exact amount of tint needed to produce an identical hue.
Work with a Color Match Specialist
While a spectrophotometer works well and saves time, the color may still require some adjusting. That’s where a color match specialist comes in. This person applies a matched paint color to the sample, allows it to dry and determines whether the new color must be lightened, darkened or have certain shades added to better match the original sample. Once the two colors are exactly alike, a batch can be mixed for you to use as touchup paint on your walls.
