What color should I paint my bedroom wall?

Question

I'm planning to only paint one side of the wall but I'm having a hard time deciding on what color I should use. All of my furniture is black and we have a lot of red accents. I would prefer if we could find a color that would fit the stuff (black&red) that we have already so that we don't have to spend money on extras. Thanks!

Answer 1

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:

What would you think of painting the one wall "tricorn black" (# 6258)? I typically don't recommend it, but in your case it might look terrific.

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 2

A cream or ivory would look good with your stuff but don't use white.  You should probably go with a lighter color so that your space doesn't feel small or cramped.

Answer 3

i  thik baige would look really nice...like  ahhh i dont know exactly what the name of the color is called but thats how we did our bonus room, and it looks really good...

Answer 4

Red would bring out the accents.

Answer 5

White,

plain and simple

Answer 6

Gray/white goes with black and red. If you want a funky look, you could even do orange, but I think your best bet is white.
