I Had To Look Twice at Eva Mendes's Alluring Front Door Colo – I Thought It Was Black, but It's Actually Much Chicer

Eva Mendes.

Upon first glance, I thought Eva Mendes's front door was black. As I examined it further, however, I realized I was mistaken. It's actually midnight blue.

The actor's beautiful midnight blue front door color is painted on a stunning paneled door with a silver knob in the center. It is framed by white panelling with windows, filling the entryway with light. These stunningly designed elements are the perfect complement to their brick walls. The white entryway behind shows that the door creates an alluring contrast.

I've always loved a black front door; it's a classic, welcoming, and gives the entrance to the home a sophisticated feel. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling's home shows that a deep blue has all of these benefits, plus added reflectiveness and a subtle pop of color. After seeing her home, I'm a total convert. Farrow & Ball's 'Black Blue' is a great lookalike.

Furthermore, Eva Mendes's front door color is completely timeless. Victoria Yardley, color expert and founder of Victory Colours, states: 'Classic navy is always a winner – it’s elegant, works with any style, and never looks dated.'

Furthermore, the start of the year is the perfect time to institute Eva's expensive-looking front door color on your home. Victoria advises: 'Your front door is part of the home’s curb appeal, and it’s amazing how a simple lick of paint can transform the look and feel of your home’s entrance. Front doors are all about making a statement, and if yours has seen better days, now is the time to revamp.'

When it comes to painting a front door, there are hundreds of options beyond the classic black and white. Subtle colors like Eva's Midnight blue are a great place to start.
