Stopped by quickly after work today. House was locked, but the front door is now painted and the trim installed (sort of). The trim is technically nailed up now, but I really hope more work remains on this. Huge gaps, not level, etc.
Concrete molds were off so we could walk around on it a bit (pace off that helipad ;-) but they still need to clean it up, backfill, and make it look good.
Onto the door color... neither my wife or I really remembered picking the siding, shutters, and door colors. After picking the brick I remember chasing a toddler (ours) around the model most of the time until I distracted her with some Dora on Netflix on demand. Fast forward 6 months and all I knew was the selection sheet said Black Bean. To me that meant black or something close. Apparently it's a dark brown. Truly it looks better than black would. It's a perfect match for the shutters and brick, but I wasn't expecting it.
Some googling on the product number turned up the
exact Sherwin-Williams paint they use. VERY good to know for touch up purposes. Glad I dug a bit before emailing the PM.

Black Bean?

I like the color.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good find on the paint information. That will come in handy.
I am color ignant, and from the distance shot it looks black but the last, closer shot shows some of that brown. I like it, very cool.
ReplyDeleteBlack bean was the original color we chose for our door (before we decided that Autumn Beige wasn't for us) and indeed, it is a deep brown. Love the color!
