What color paint would look good in a dining room with an iron dining set?

Question

The dining set is a dark brown iron color and the seats are a light microfiber (I'd say more of like a beige). The dining room is separate and I would prefer lighter colors in order to make the room look bigger. What do you all suggest?

Answer 1

what about a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery pastel yellow? thats cuz u wanna go lighter

but i think a red would look nice

Answer 2

dark, warm colors come forward, cool colors recede. So you probably want to choose pastel colors, such as a light blue or green which will compliment the warmer tones in the iron and the beige. It's hard to know w/o seeing a pic. You can go to Behr.com, they  have color scheme tools that may help you.

Answer 3

apricot (but on the medium light side) with warm accents-- maybe burgundy

Answer 4

Celery green is a great color- light and neutral, yet not boring like tans or beiges.

Answer 5

teracotta is awesome in a dining room really warm

Answer 6

Umm, I was thinking a rusty orange for some reason Although I hate orange personally. maybe beige. Or Dark green with little light green accents. I ALSO HATE GREEN URGH XD. Umm.. But I think that Beige would be nice.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something 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 it would look great to paint it a pale rose like "demure" (# 6295) as red shades are supposed to stimulate the appetite.

You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on Roomvues dot com:

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.
