Peek at Notting Hill Paint Colors for Front Doors only when you’re in the mood for tickety-boo (it’s a British thing), frequently bold, simply sophisticated, always cheerful and evocative front door beauty from Notting Hill. I snapped front door paint colors while in London (we stayed in a Holland Park flat) and provide names for paints to sample to get the look.

Notting Hill Paint Colors for Front Door Inspiration
I snapped these images on a stroll through Notting Hill and the Holland Park neighborhood where we booked a flat through Ivy Lettings. At the time, I was in London as a nominee for the Amara Interior Blog Awards.

Farrow & Ball Middleton Pink
Let’s start with an elegant pink even though I don’t personally know anyone in the USA searching for a pretty pink door color. Hahahaha. This pretty pink hue on the door and row house exterior below is reminiscent of FARROW & BALL Middleton Pink.
![Beautiful sophisticated pink door and house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/001-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-pink-door-1.jpg)
It feels so romantic and Parisian-like, oui?
You MUST have nerve and the proper architecture to pull this one off!

And isn’t it fabulous with all the black? For more ideas for how you might use FARROW & BALL Middleton Pink, see this French farmhouse where it was chosen for a kids bathroom.

Sherwin-Williams Bitter Chocolate 6013
Sometimes you want the door to play less of a starring role or to be understated when the rest of the home is bold. If your door is not stained wood, you could try a chocolate brown paint.

![Pet quote by Robert Brault on Hello Lovely Studio. #petquotes](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/PET-QUOTE-ROBERT-BRAULT-FRIENDS-hello-lovely-studio.jpg)
I personally would paint this door a cheerful bright green. What color would you choose for it?

Here’s a chocolate brown door on an elegant residence which is likely home to a celebrity or dignitary.

Wait.
I can’t keep looking at chocolate brown doors without salivating. Have you see these individual chocolate boxes (to maybe fill with chocolate mousse?)?
Benjamin Moore Trout Gray
Isn’t a grey door just classic and dreamy?
![Beautiful sophisticated gray door and brick row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/006-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
Sometimes it takes a little time to find the right gray that isn’t too warm or too cold.
Bear in mind the paint color in the pot may seem darker than what you’re after. However, in most cases, the natural sunlight is going to wash the color out.
![Beautiful sophisticated gray door and white trim on exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/007-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
That’s why it’s so smart to sample at least three colors even if they seem quite similar.
![Inspirational quote about nature's beauty and wisdom by John Muir on Hello Lovely Studio. #inspirationalquote #quotes #johnmuir #naturequotes](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/005-JOHN-MUIR-QUOTE-hello-lovely-studio-beauty-bread-nature.jpg)
The grey reminds me of my new Staub French oven with a rooster on the lid…so beautiful, I don’t ever want to put it away!
![Modern French Finds for Home - Hello Lovely Studio](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/european-gifts-for-home-hello-lovely-studio-banner-graphite-2.jpg)
Benjamin Moore Light Blue 2066-70
If this color is your jam, you probably won’t find a good quantity of options. think I know why. It’s the type of bright blue most homeowners avoid since baby blues or sky blues can be so cloying and too sweet.
![Beautiful sky blue bright front door and brick row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/008-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-sky-blue.jpg)
Cool blue colors are tricky since you don’t want it to read little boy nursery blue or wow, now that’s blue.
This blue door reminds me of a cheerful blue used in animation or straight out of the 1980s. I find it happy and inviting, if not fantasy-like.
Benjamin Moore Salsa 2009-20 (a Shocking Red-Orange Front Door!)
But maybe red is more your fantasy?
![Bold and vibrant red-orange door and brick row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/009-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bold-red.jpg)
There’s something quintessentially British about this combo!
![Bold red door with brick row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/010-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bold-red.jpg)
It’s very close to this Pantone color:
![A bright and shocking red orange paint color: Pantone 485 C](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/60/23/20/60232044a3f3c7ccb7d753b21268f204.jpg)
For a slightly warmer red-orange, you could try BM Salsa:
or with more yellow undertones, Outrageous Orange:
They are definitely appetizing and energetic hues!

Notting Hill Paint Front Doors: BM Dark Royal Blue
I spotted these blue doors in the Mews.
![Bold blue stable doors and Mews exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/011-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-blue.jpg)
(Mews are stables along an alley or homes converted from former stables.) Here’s a suggestion to get the look:
It does feel royal and special, and considering the rusticity of the doors and architecture, it’s an interesting juxtaposition.
![Bright blue stable doors on Mews entrance in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/012-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-blue.jpg)
Oh, those charming little alleyways! Is blue your favorite color?

Benjamin Moore Razzle Dazzle (Barbie Pink on a Front Door!)
Speaking of alleys…this front door color’s right up mine.
![Barbie pink front door and white row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/013-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bright-pink-2.jpg)
Reminds me of a rosy lip color by Gucci I wear:
Not sure what this pink conjures for you, but it’s giving me blushy cosmetics, Barbie, femininity, and sort of a grown up pink.
It’s bold, but it still feels so sophisticated.
![Barbie pink front door and white row house exterior in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/013-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bright-pink.jpg)

Sherwin-Williams Notable Hue
Sometimes you’re after a very specific blue. Say, a Swedish blue that also borders on a French blue.
![Swedish blue front door on yellow and pastel pink row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/014-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-blue.jpg)
This one seems in between and a not quite suggestive of denim:
If you like a little less green in your blues, maybe Harlequin Blue is what you’re after:
When you see this blue with all of the yellow, it feels almost storybook like.
![Swedish blue front door on yellow row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/015-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-blue.jpg)

SW Denim
For this color, we’ll take our cue from the stucco siding on this row house exterior.
![Bold red door on blue ivy covered house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/018-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bold-red.jpg)
Americans have a love affair with all things blue in design, and here’s one to consider for an effect like the above home.
The sunlight is going to wash it out (unless you’re in a region where you get little sunlight).
![Bold red door on blue ivy covered house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/018-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bold-red.jpg)
And doesn’t the pinky-red just pop? I would love a pair of jeans in that red colorway!

Benjamin Moore Galveston Gray
I spied my fair share of pretty gray doors in London.
![Sophisticated dark gray door with white trim on ivy covered row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/021-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
It’s important to sample at least a couple of different grays.
![Sophisticated grey front door on white house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/025-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
If your front door receives a lot of direct sunlight (for example, Southern exposure), you may want to consider a darker gray paint color for the same effect.
![Sophisticated dark gray door with white trim on ivy covered row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/022-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
BM Trout Gray may be more appropriate for your unique lighting situation.
If you’re after a deep gray that borders on soft black, BM Cheating Heart may be a smart choice to sample. This is very close to my own front doors. We painted them a SW color called Carbonized which may be discontinued.
Here’s another deeper and darker charcoal with a bit of brown in it so that it reads more like wrought iron:

And here’s something I just thought of to help if you want a particular paint color for a door but haven’t seen a photo of it. Play with a photo with a door color that is close to what you’re after. Then edit it, tweaking the light or warmth or saturation until you love it. From there you can seek paint color ideas on the web. So the bright pink I showed you above looks like this when I turn up the exposure:

All the climbing ivy and vines and roses throughout my stroll was breathtaking!
![Sophisticated dark gray door with white trim on ivy covered row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/023-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-gray.jpg)
Benjamin Moore Blue Lapis
Periwinkle blues are not for the shy!
![Bold blue door with covered entry in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/024-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-bright-blue.jpg)
Yet I can imagine how perfect a front door with this tropical blue could be in a rainy climate. Right? It just sings.

BM Mopboard Black
Black doors can be so chic and are never going to fall from favor.
![Beautiful and classic black door on white ow house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/026-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-black.jpg)
Here’s a black that many designers find trustworthy:
I thought this was gorgeous with bright yellow, and I’m not even into yellow:
![Gorgeous black door with white trim on vibrant yellow row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/029-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-black.jpg)
But the sunny color just lifts your spirits.

Benjamin Moore Prescott Green
This green door took me by surprise and took my breath away.
![Gorgeous French green door with black trim on white row house in Notting Hill. Come explore paint colors for your front door. #frontdoorcolors #paintcolors #curbappeal](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/027-hello-lovely-studio-notting-hill-door-sage-green.jpg)
There’s just something about those pretty French greens that feels sophisticated, optimistic and uniquely European rather than childish or moody.
It’s a green that reminds me of Paris or the South of France where you see so many uplifting green French shutters…
![French farmhouse green shutters paint color: Vert Olivier.](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/vert-olivier.jpeg)

Pairing green with black and white as demonstrated by this Notting Hill beauty also adds to the chic factor.

Famous Notting Hill Blue Doors
It was so fun to visit the doors on the flat from the film “Notting Hill” at 280 Westbourne St.
![Bright blue door on row house in Notting Hill from the movie with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. #nottinghillmovie #nottinghillmoviehouse](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/031-hello-lovely-studio-london-door-blue-notting-hill-movie-flat-2.jpg)
There were lots of folks posing in front of the door so I had to be patient to snap a photo of it on its own. Remember “Notting Hill?”

So taken with the pink blooms, I forgot to give the pub’s front door a proper photo!
