A collection of green doors from around the world.
A narrow street in Asilah, Morocco. Some Moroccans on the train with us told us that Asilah was almost entirely done up in Islamic green, just as the next town after was done mostly in Islamic blue. It’s funny how in some places it seems as if someone decided to paint a door green, it caught on and soon the whole neighbourhood (or town) has green doors. This was the case in Mondoñedo, Spain, where this beautiful sea green dominated.
Sticking with these blue-greens is this door in Manzanillo, Mexico.
Another interesting blue-green is copper door with a verdigris (green-grey) patina on a bridge tower in Copenhagen, Denmark
A form of ‘earth green’ shows up on these green boat house doors in Fjallbacka on Bohuslan Coast of Sweden.
India has masses of interesting doors, and many of them are green, as is the case of this green door in Jodhpur, India.
Green door that has turned a corner in Cachi, Argentina.
A bright green door in Vancouver’s Chinatown, Canada.
Moss turns this metal-clad door green in the ruins at Tintern Abbey in Wales.
A green door opens in Penang, Malaysia.
Since I started with blue-green doors I thought I’d end with the other end of the green spectrum with this lime green door in weathered wood in Laos.

What I find interesting here is the patina & texture of the doors. Although I hadn’t thought of it, you’re right that there seems to be a hive mind, that makes an entire community paint their neighborhood the same color. Either that, or it was the only color available at the neigborhood shop! Thanks for your Friendly Friday submission Elizabeth 😉
Or they all hired the same painter and he had a special deal on green paint!
Oh, fab! Love this collection, and I realise I have quite a few green doors…might have to do a post!
for sure – I’d love to see it, and I’m sure that many of them would be lovely and weathered!
Yep, old and weathered for the most part!
Great set of green doors, Elizabeth. Guess it’s a common color! 🙂
It seems to age well….
Good for you Elizabeth – you made the challenge even more challenging by focusing on a single color. Loved them all, and loved the choice of green!
Note that this was green doors number 2 – there are a lot of green doors out there.
I didn’t think there would be so many different shades of green doors. I like your variety and especially the green door that turned a corner – very unique!!
The green door that turned a corner made me do a double take in my head. Both doors have to enter into the same space so why the need for two doors? Feuding families each wanting their own private door? Who knows?
Your photos are so artsy
