Agreeing with Daisy - I prefer the graphite!

Neither to be honest. Lacking subtlety. If pushed though, prefer the graphite.

Top.

Have to go with the grey, but a bit dark, and i'd have to have all woodwork that colour, not just the doors, I trust all floors will be uniform too, so the doors would have to go with that also. The blue is too restrictive a colour for all rooms.

I'd go greige, something a little easier on the eye, Dulux Egyptian Cotton?

or even better Sandy Steps:- a little hint of warmth. Easier to match furniture and soft furnishings to. Plus a wooden floor would sit well with it.

Not loving either..sorry.. too dark .why not look at F&B paint chart again and go for a softer grey,will be less restrictive for the rest of the interior decoration in my opinion.Good Luck

Got to agree with the majority on here! Too dark and restrictive. Lighter colour to reflect the light into rooms.

Not really enough information. Is it just the hallway or throughout? If throughout, is the colour of the walls going to be the same everywhere?

I don't think much of the grey. To me it looks stern and forbidding. I do like the blue very much and think it's an excellent contrast to the walls. I would choose the blue.

I'm not a fan of the off-white and beige colour schemes which are so common at the moment, and several of the other commentators seem to be suggesting. To me they lack character and just seems like a giant cop-out.

Neither for me, too. I'd rather paint the walls than the doors. I feel the doors will stand out and I don't consider them features. Go exciting on the walls! And paint the doors and skirting boards the same colour as the walls in each space - it makes everything look really spacious and you'll find what's on the walls (including that head) is far more interesting.

Before commenting could you give us some more information and images please. Is the colour on the wall in the image the colour the doors will be set against? How many doors, what type of space is it etc.

Hi, Whilst grey and blue are fabulous colours theses seem to have a cooler undertone, therfore look a lot harsher and less appealing in my view although the blue looks much more warmer than they grey.

If you wanted to opt for blue or grey doors I'd look for much more options And would even be set on painting doors a lighter shade of grey.

This would all depend on the space you have. You don't want the doors to really clash with furniture or existing walls, etc

The dark blue looks great. Even more stunning is Railings from F&B. Go for it it always looks great.

The blue is much more up-to-date. I painted my staircase that grey ten years ago. However, I am painting my front door white - it's a boring navy at the moment - because I hung up a white curtain and realised how much lighter the hallway became. Light is everything. Use the blue somewhere else.

I think you should stick with neutral colour. It makes this look clean, and fresh. We recently painted all of our wooden doors, frames, trims, and skirting boards in Slate 1 by Paint and Paper Library.

I prefer the blue, I think it looks more individual and modern. However if you're appealing to a wide audience the graphite is probably a safer choice.

I agree with some of the other comments, a lighter colour would work better. I have used F&B Pavilion Grey here.

I like the Graphite. Good luck!

Hi there. What is the outcome of the project? Is it for a) your own home b) a client c) resale? Any design choice needs to be holistic and targeted. If the outcome is a or b, consider what this colour has to match with eg what existing furniture do you have to consider in the colour scheme? What permanent fixtures do you have to include etc. Also, how will either colour restrict you? If you use the blue, you will have to have blue schemes in all the adjoining rooms. If the answer is c (resale) then consider a less dividing colour - people tend to fall into two groups - those who like cool colours & those who like warm colours: you are potentially cutting out half of your potential buyers by using one or the other. If you put a strong colour in a permanent feature the buyers that don't like that colour just see cost to change it back, but more informé than not they can't even see past the colour and reject the property.

I love the dark blue. My doors are liquorice colour, and I love them. Stick to your guns. Resist the lure of greige.
