What color looks best on walls with zebra print?

Question

I'm about to paint my new room. But i don't know what color to go with. I want my "theme" to be zebra print (comforter and accessories). But i just dont know what color would look best with that. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

any color would go with black and white... step outside your comfort zone, you'll be surprised with what you can come up with.  

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a gray like "agros" (# 7065) would look terrific with the zebra print.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 3

Treat the zebra print as a neutral....  but because of how busy the print is, I would keep the walls a solid color.

Do not be afraid to go with a bold, bright color.  Pastels will look okay, but if you like bright and bold this is your time to shine!

Happy Decorating!

Answer 4

hot pink or lime green

Answer 5

I'd paint the walls in your favorite vivid pastel or bright, then add accessories in black, white, silver [ great with black and white ], and 'that' color.

Try:

powder or hot pink

tomato or cherry red

peach, coral [ bright orange would be Halloween-y ]

lemon

mint, lime, kelly green

aqua or turqoise

sky, royal, or smoke blue

lavender or orchid

Answer 6

I would personally go with either indigo, emerald green, or salmon, but I know they're not for everybody.  

Answer 7

anything would go with it, because it is black and white!

but I preferably like purple or light purple.

oh and light green :)

Answer 8

red

Answer 9

depending upon whether or not you want a more neutral scheme or energetic, the sky is the limit!  various earth tones and natural/ ethnic/ tribal accessories would look great, but if you want a more "urban" look, go for a bright...orange, kelly green, vivid sky blue, sunny yellow.  pick one of the brights, and accent with lots of silver tone and clear lucite (plastic) accessories for a fun and funky look.
