The entryway is your home’s magic portal, through which family, friends, and guests enter. For better or worse, it’s where they get their first impression. Shouldn’t that impression be as smart and fresh as you are? Even though we often neglect the foyer – or entryway – for better or worse, entryway paint colors might be the most important in your home.
Pittsburgh Gray PPG0994-2

It’s hard to go wrong with a neutral color like Pittsburgh Gray when it comes to entryway colors. It’s easy to maintain and compliments any decor style, from traditional to modern.
Succulent Leaves PPG1131-6

Purple and green are secondary colors. Because these colors work well together (think Mardi Gras color palette), it’s easy to partner them confidently in your design. Wild Plum and Succulent Leaves would make for a particularly happy pairing in any foyer.
Delicate White PPG1001-1

Delicate white is the perfect wall color for any space. It’s a classic paint color for a foyer because it works with so many design styles and can be perfect for a monochromatic look. Here, it sets off the home’s rustic elegance.
Napoleon PPG1013-7
This dark black paint color has purple undertones, giving it hints of blue. This color has a timeless yet very modern appeal. It works beautifully with ultra-traditional, refined spaces. Paint your walls dark blue or black or get a swatch.
Red Gumball PPG1187-7

Vibrant red with coral undertones sets the stage for this dramatic-yet-casual entry hall. Add your bench, a place to set your things, and you have the makings of a personal, inviting space with a paint color like Red Gumball.
Siesta Sands PPG1066-1

Take the hue in the previous photo down a notch, and you get a bold, peachy orange, similar to Siesta Sands. In a Victorian home (or any home with architectural details like this stairwell), soft and subdued colors accentuate the home’s strong bones.
Night Watch PPG1145-7
![domio chicago green domio chicago green](https://www.paintzen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/domio-chicago-green-paintzen.jpg)
This dark green paint color is perfect for an accent wall in the entryway. Freshen it up with the surprise of eclectic furnishings: a graphic Dhurrie rug, a metallic chinoiserie table, and a beautiful mirror. Pro tip: Paintzen has had success painting trim the same color as the walls for a look that lets the eye move fluidly around the space.
Changing your foyer paint color doesn’t necessarily mean changing the color of your walls. Add a dose of style and whimsy with a painted interior door. Painting the interior of your front door adds a lot of style and character.
