Years ago I remember running across a paint swatch labeled “Amsterdam Green.” I figured it was just a made up name but after my visit to Amsterdam I realized that “Amsterdam Green” is very real. It is a green that is almost black and is used on almost every entry door in the city. The preferred paint jobs looks like lacquer, the glossier the better. Let’s take a look at the lovely Amsterdam Green Glossy Doors.
On occasion you may run across an “Amsterdam” red, blue, or even an eggplant but the “Amsterdam Green” glossy doors are definitely my favorite!
I love the transoms over the doors, especially the round ones.
There were so many beautiful entries I just could not photograph them all. By far one of the prettiest place I’ve been.
The doors are amazing, I did a post on doors and bikes, so many lovely things to photograph!
Oh the bikes… I wish I had taken more photos, was totally in awe of all the bikes EVERYWHERE!
