Therma-Tru Corp. Provides "Hot New Door Colors for 2015"
MAUMEE, OHIO (PRWEB) September 23, 2014 -- Nifty Turquoise. Cranapple. Drizzling Mist. These are just some of the hot colors that color expert Kate Smith predicts will be most popular on residential door exteriors in 2015.
"Five of the colors that I believe will find their ways to many front doors in 2015 are bold and influenced by cross cultural experiences, such as Bronze Tone and Tripoli Sand," says Smith, chief color maven and president of Sensational Color. "Then there are five other colors --- like Thyme Green and Amazon Soil --- which are more muted hues that invite us to step out of the fast flow of life to relax in our homes."
For homeowners looking to express their "colorful self," Smith suggests selecting paintable doors, such as those found in the Therma-Tru® Classic-Craft® Canvas Collection® and Pulse® doors. "These smooth-finish doors feature clean lines and crisp angles, which are ideal for painting with expressive colors," says Smith. "They also offer attractive glass configuration options that can truly sparkle when framed by a colorful door."
Bold Door Colors for 2015
Smith reports that the five bold, energetic colors identified for 2015 catch our eye and heighten our senses. "These are expressive and playful colors, with a dash of bohemian and a pinch of sophistication," says Smith. "You'd easily find these exciting hues at a festival in Rio de Janeiro, a multi-cultural sporting event or in a piece of American folk art. Adding one of these confident colors to a front door can update any home scheme and create a joyful feeling every time someone comes through the door."

Soft Door Colors for 2015

"This soft color palette includes shades of organic green, amethyst gray, mineral mauve and a blue so deep it could have been pulled out of the cosmos or the depths of the sea," says Smith.
