What color and type of paint should I get?

I want to paint the inside of my front door. We are painting the hallway a burnt orange color called Copper Mountain by Behr. I'd like to find a dark Walnut brown/black color for the inside of the door. What type of paint should we get (I think it's a wood door) and does anyone know of a good color? Preferably by Behr.What color and type of paint should I get?
What color is the outside of your door. Ideally, it would be nice to have them the same color. I would suggest using a no VOC paint so you do not add hazardous chemicals into your home. Here is a link on how to find no VOC paints.

I'm sure the original paint was a satin and if its a front door-an oil based paint-most of them are metal these days. If yours is wood, then you could use an interior grade satin in a waterbase. I would wipe it down with liquid sandpaper on a rag or sponge (clear-cool stuff,not expensive) It forms a chemical adhesion between the existing paint and the new. Or give it a light going over with fine sandpaper to give it some "tooth" for the same reason. It should be the same color as the other doors and molding in your home.What color and type of paint should I get?
AFTER REVIEWING BEHRS COLOR WHEELS, I must really reccomend something from their ColorSmart Premium collection just for the fact of its great durability and shine.

Since 260-D7 Copper Mountain is in the 260s color range...

and a rather dark hue... why not just keep it to a darker tint but with the same fundamental color spectrum!?

How about something provacative and bold like 290F-7 Wooden Cabin? look at their compatability next to each other in two seperate windows... In my opinion... STUNNING!

Remember to click on the pallets to exapnd them enough to get a great view...
Try a deep burnt umber-type of red. This will give you an analogous look on the deep side of the color spectrum. The link to their color viewer as well as others is below.
