I'm painting my room. Color ideas?

Question

I'm going to hang black records up on my wall. I want sort of a brighter color, what would go with that? (and i'm going to hang up abstract art)

Answer 1

Electric purple

Answer 2

If you're going with black records and abstract art, I would recommend a more muted color on the wall. Your art and records are going to be bursting with color and movement as it is, so why have a color that's gonna compete for attention. Let the art stand out instead. Although I would love to recommend a color, I would have to see the art work first so that you can maybe find a common color in them and pick a subtle version of that color for your walls.

Answer 3

Do NOT Use Dark Reads/Greys/Other Shades of Blacks.

You could use a dark/light yellow, white, or Cyan/Turqoise.

Answer 4

Here are some Behr paint colors that would make a good backdrop for the black records:

pearl violet (# 670E-2)

heirloom lace (# 280E-1)

mystical sea (# 430E-2)

americana (# 570D-5) - I think this one would be my fave.

florida mango (# 250D-5)

Answer 5

you should put up a deep turquoise color on two paralell walls

i was going to do that because im sick of putting a color on all four walls, but i didnt get to do it because nobody else was painting their walls so i decided not to.if you dont like turquoise just get your favorite color

Answer 6

do a teal or turquoise.

that would look awesome.

Answer 7

aqua or turquoise would be good

silvery grey would be interesting, sort of futuristic
