The 12 Best Paint Colors for Your Front Porch, According to Experts

Your front porch sets the tone for your home. That's why a fresh coat of paint can work wonders for the area as a whole. "Your front porch is where your home makes its first impression," says Hannah Yeo, color marketing and development manager at Benjamin Moore. "With the right color, you can transform an ordinary entryway into a welcoming and inviting greeting area."

There are several factors to take into consideration when choosing a paint color for your front porch. "Consider the botanicals in your garden and play off those colors," says interior designer Crystal Sinclair. You'll also want to think about the amount of light your porch receives. "A south-facing porch will struggle with darker colors, so it's best to use lighter shades," says Patrick O'Donnell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball.
