Let’s be real. After a few years of living in your Philadelphia home, your front door has probably seen better days. Scuff marks, fading, weathering - it's inevitable. But here's the thing, your front door is the first thing buyers see, and as we all know, first impressions matter. If your door’s looking a little worn, a fresh coat of paint could be your ticket to a quicker sale and a higher offer.
In fact, a study by Zillow found that homes with black or slate blue front doors can sell for up to $6,449 more than homes with other door colors. Yes, you read that right! That’s a pretty good return on a few hours of painting, right?
And guess what? As we move into warmer months, now’s the perfect time to tackle that front door refresh. Not planning to sell just yet? No worries - sprucing up your entryway is a simple (and surprisingly affordable) way to add personality and curb appeal. Trust us, a quart of paint can work wonders.
Here are our top three Sherwin-Williams door colors sure to make your Philadelphia home stand out during spring showings:
1. Sherwin-Williams Dutch Tile Blue SW0031
For all the lovers of historic charm, Dutch Tile Blue is your new best friend. It’s got that perfect mix of timeless elegance and warmth, making it ideal for older homes or anyone looking to add a splash of personality without being too loud. This blue feels inviting and cozy - the kind of color that makes buyers feel like they belong the moment they step up.
2. Sherwin-Williams Artichoke SW6179
Fresh, earthy, and subtly unexpected - Artichoke is the green you didn’t know you needed. If your home is surrounded by lush greenery or scenic views, this color will only enhance that natural beauty. It’s sophisticated without being over-the-top. Think of it as the “cool, but not trying too hard” vibe that’s perfect for spring showings.
3. Sherwin-Williams Tricorn Black SW6258
